They have sky news on in the canteen hereThe 'presenter' was video interviewing a British ex-diplomat to North Korea about nuclear testing the other day when all of a sudden,
'I'm sorry I'm going to have to put you on hold (!?!) while we go live to watch David Milliband' (talking about expenses).
Brilliant jouralism right there.
Hello lovely btw!

The priorities of our media constantly astound meIt probably sounds a bit overdramatic to say 'and saddens', but it's true.
Much as I'm aware how lucky I am to be British (and I really believe I am, there are a few priviliged areas of the world that get so many things open to us that are just considered basic rights) more and more I just want to step away from this country, it just makes me sad, and angry, and frustrated.
Sorry, I'm shutting up now actually.
