    The thud of the Daily Mail on my mat in the morning always fills me with a warm glow, printed as it is by child slave labour using ink derived from the congealed blood of pensioners frozen to death by Toricutz, on paper recycled fom the skin of slaughtered babies.

    Having had some of the British Palace-Building Corporation’s morning output inflicted on me I was surprised to see that the banner headline on the front page of the Daily Murderer – HOW LABOUR CASH IN ON AMBULANCE CHASING LAWYERS – had seemingly gone unnoticed by our national narrowcaster.

    The Financial Spring* (ie 90 crusties with £19.99 Millett Glasto tents and a quarter of skank each, sitting outside St Paul’s) was getting blanket coverage.

    Funny that.

    * Financial Spring is of course a feeble attempt by Paddy O’ Dullard of Radio 4’s flagship Sunday morning programme BH to equate said crusties with people in Prague and the Levant who go up against military vehicles and trigger-happy soldiers with slingshots.

      Sorry, did I describe BH as Radio 4’s ‘flagship’ Sunday morning programme.

      I meant to say, ‘leaking pedalo’.

      My bad.

        Sorry, did I say Paddy O’ Dullard.

        I meant Paddy O’ Braindead.

        My apologies to Mr O’ Dullard.

    BBC PR does seem to have kicked into high gear, if not with a great degree of subtelty, using rather thin single degrees of separation to push their agendas.

    Hence we have Mr. Mason rallying protest by channeling Penny Red.

    We have Mr. Black acting as Greenpeace’s mouthpiece.

    And Nick Robinson basically doing Labour ‘source’s’ bidding, as the only thing in politics in his last 1/2 dozen posts seems to be Mr. Fox.

    News… it ain’t.
