As a special one-off today, we've decided to do a quick Friday newspaper review, because there are so many big stories in the mainstream British press today, it would be impossible to cover all of them any other way.
What a depressing picture of the state of the nation these stories paint. Broken Britain? Don't look to the council estates - look to these stories as examples...
We're just going to tell you what the headline is from the Daily Telegraph, without commenting. We make this clear. We do not agree or disagree with the assertion. We tell you simply what the headline reads. And it reads: "Union behind BA strike receives £18m from taxpayers in ‘money-laundering’ deal with Labour".
The Daily Mail has a big story about the last democratically ELECTED Prime Minister of both our country and his own party. Yup, it's Blair. The newspaper tells us: "Tony Blair waged an extraordinary two-year battle to keep secret a lucrative deal with a multinational oil giant which has extensive interests in Iraq."
On a slightly smaller scale, the Daily Express reports: "ED BALLS’ Department for Children, Schools and Families has spent more than £14.5million refurbishing offices since it was set up three years ago, figures reveal."
The Independent tells us that: "More than nine out of 10 scientists who backed a drug at the centre of a safety scare had financial links to the pharmaceutical industry, a study has found."
The Guardian tells us: "Gordon Brown breaks promise over torture guidelines". So, if you're thinking of voting for anyone but Labour, there's no guarantee he hasn't got a Zimbabwe style way of dealing with you planned. Let's face it, civil liberty and human rights abuses go hand-in-hand with ZaNuLiebour.
The Sun is accusing the BBC of being biased against the Conservatives - and has a number of examples which it says highlight their point. The Sun, of course, is pro-Conservative. Not that we disagree with them, but those of us who post on the internet have been accusing the BBC of pro-Labour bias for years... and are able to be so thanks to the compulsory telly tax. Yes, the telly tax, the TV license. The thing that we must purchase else money is demanded out of us in the most menacing of fashions...
So, there you go. Britain in a nutshell.
And they cast people on council estates in a negative light?
I know which group of people I'd rather have as friends, if this batch of news reports is indicative of anything.
