And what isn't in the news?
There's a lot of bad news around at the moment. Yokel noted some in yesterday's post. The political blogs are making hay with "Donorgate", Gorbals Mick (the Speaker) is getting a bit of stick, there is a sudden outbreak of transparency over MP's expenses.
So what is the silence about? We hear virtually nothing about the debate in Committee about the bill to cede sufficient of the UK's sovereignty to the National government in Brussels, that will make it impossible for the UK to function as an independent State ever again! The Committee stage finishes tomorrow (Weds 6 Feb). So its trivial really. There is only the Lords (listen out for sounds of the Parliament Act being unwrapped for a special occasion), and the Third Reading in the Commons, and then its all over for the UK. No wonder the press are not reporting it. "Nothing to see here, move along please." "Wasn't that a corpse?" "Only the remains of the UK. Now just look to the future not to the past, modernise the people, and move along please, nothing to see here".
Why isn't it news when our political masters are bullying the approval
of the EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty through the
Commons, but without the approval of the British people?
Why isn't it news that the same tactics are being employed in every
other country province of this non-imperial empire?
Why?
?
