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.
Certainly what the TV presenters, interviewers, commentators and news anchors have achieved, along with their counterparts in the press, is unethical, immoral, corrosive to democracy and the idea of liberty and wholly harmful to the people of this nation. But it can’t be denied they have managed to massage an angry and vengeful electorate into a compliant and misdirected mass, on the TV screens at least.

Remember me?
Gordon Brown this and Gordon Brown that, but isn’t the mainstream media forgetting something? When New Labour ushered in a tragically false dawn in 1997 it wasn’t Gordon Brown at the helm. It was the vicious and self-serving, soon to be International gangster and
war criminal Tony Blair. And the rest is bitter and bloodstained history.
It would seem logical, considering we’re on the verge of the next election, to review all thirteen catastrophic years under this authoritarian and warmongering government. But even the opposition parties can’t seem to bring themselves to look in Blair’s direction.
You can understand why the Tories want to look the other way, they happily played along with Blair’s horrendous invasion and sat on their hands as the dire consequences unfolded.
But what of the Liberal Democrats? They’ll tell you all day long they didn’t officially vote for the war but what action did they take to try to prevent it? What did they do after the bombs started falling to put an end to the carnage? The answer is nothing at all.

An exciting, star-studded line-up at Chilcott’s theatre in the coming few days. Here’s the performers’ roster, should be worth a watch if Ashcroft’s hysterical cameo is anything to judge by. Do you see how childishly plain and flawed these individuals are when you pull away their rock?
