In a Big Crisis it is small issues of that kind that give a Government the hall mark of compassion.

Then there is a particularly Big Crisis, perhaps related to the economy or to unemployment, corruption, inflation and so on - or it may be an event related to war - and one suddenly finds that all the defences that were there to protect the civil liberties of the citizen are gone.

They constitute the Big Crisis that confronts the country.

We are discussing the very Big Crisis that confronts a range of economies in the world.

A Big Crisis gives us the opportunity to consider that.

Sometimes it takes a Big Crisis to produce a big response.
