His Master's Voice - The media repeaters

And Now for the News that Matters

Robert Peston, BBC business editor and state sponsored blogger who daily offers his “take on the business stories and issues that matter”, must really be starting to hate that pain in the neck he is surely feeling?

You have to hand it to the mainstream media. The control it has exerted over the general election coverage these past few weeks is a wonder to behold. A beautifully executed con job that has left nothing to chance.

EU in Action – Sign Now! Read Afterwards

July 24, 2009

The Lisbon Treaty, that rehash of the EU Constitution. I don’t know about you but apart from threats of economic meltdown if we don’t sign, here in the UK I haven’t heard a single argument from any politician of any major party explaining the benefits and costs of our ever closer integration with Europe.
