Perhaps I was naive but I always generally used to believe what politicians said and that their intentions were honourable.
Nowadays I take every weasely pronouncement they make with a pinch of salt and for this Tony Blair will always have a special place in my heart.
It was the sheer bare faced duplicitousness of his regime that destroyed my faith in the political process and, I regret to say, nobody since has done much to restore it.

Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution describes particle speeds in gases, where the particles move freely without interacting with one another, except for very brief elastic collisions in which they may exchange momentum and kinetic energy, but do not change their respective states of intramolecular excitation, as a function of the temperature of the systemWork in the public sector?
