Sorry seems to be the hardest word
Posted by Mark Thomas on September 12, 2010 9:01 AM
What is it about people in public life that makes them find it so hard to say they are sorry when they are responsible for inconveniencing people?
Yesterday's fiasco in which permanent secretary for tax David Hartnett said he had nothing to apologise for over the mistakes which led to millions of people paying the wrong amount of tax was all too typical.
