What did you say????
I can't comment on British business, as my knowledge on same is very limited, save to say the following;
In law, arguments are reduced to definition to better qualify intention, (in the UK and SA), so lets do that with the word you're banding about rather freely ... "responsibility"
I'm well aware that some mothers and teachers use it to assign blame, with the statement; "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!"; however, responsibility is a noun that defines "a state, or fact of having a duty to deal with something, or of having control over someone", similar words being; authority, control, power, management, influence, and it's roots, (and makeup), are from; "ability to respond".
It seems that you are taking the meaning of the word accountability, are overlaying it on the word responsibility, and then attempting to assign blame, (a common misnomer), and fueling it with ......
Should I risk another outburst from you by naming this trigger? ... or can you accept my earlier olive branch statement of agreeing to disagree?
Now that was a cool movie

It has long been a problem that the population is aging, Japan is a prime example but it's a worldwide trend that has long caught the attention of the social engineering types in Davos and other pits o'hell. Too many old people to be supported by the young causing economic stress. Large migrations of younger people into developed countries is but one of the solutions. Why would killing off the old not also help.

On a ride out on my BMW motorcycle the other day, I stopped outside a cafe to get a bottle of water. There were some young adults hanging around the cafe and they looked at the bike. They did not admire it like most people who saw it, they sneered.
When I came out of the shop I leaned against the bike to drink my water and one of the people asked me " how can you ride around on this thing, when people are starving."
My reply was that with the money I earned, I spent it on this bike. BMW then took that money and paid the guys who assembled the bike.
Then they paid for the guys who built the engine. The guys who built the engine paid the guys who manufactured the parts who in turn paid the guys for the raw materials who bought them from the guys who mined it. The guys at the mine had to employ transport and drivers to carry the materials.
I then said that the bike needed tyres so there was a lot of people employed in the production transport and sale of those tyres.
The one young man stepped forward and said,
"Yeah Yeah we get it, you don't have to say any more, that really is a very nice bike"

No but I reckon within the next two years, it will probably get heavily regulated and taxed in SA which many of us will have a hard time getting used to.
