Wow!
Good read, not at ALL surprised but it's good to see someone standing up to be counted, someone should make a blog page called 'I was lied about by the Tabloids' or something similar so people can tell their side of the story, see if it adds some balance.
I get SO disheartened that every time I go down to see ANY elderly relative and they're reading out passages from their tabloid rag like it's tru-fax and looking at me like I'm an idiot when I say it's probably not true, they get so worked up about it all, I hear phrases like 'You can't do what you like in your own country no more' and 'children can't play in the streets safely' and such and you just KNOW it will be based on complete fabrication, yet here they are fearful eyes stabbing at the paper and voting Tory, or worse, so they can 'sort things out'.
*sigh*

That is good. And quite surprising.
There's alot of good stuff in this blog. Just read a nice piece on the dreadful Melanie Phillips.
Which I should really avoid. I'm just working myself up.

That is the downside of Daily Mail hating
- you end up a ranting, angry, alarmist yourself

Oh, it's okay, I'd be ranting about something anyway.
At least this way the bile is aimed at a deserving target.

My boss was talking about the start of the cold war today
and the shooting down of the B52 that really kick started the whole thing. Essentially, it boiled down to a journalist exaggerating how many missles the ruskies had and the incoming president believing that. Not quite as crystal clear but sounds interesting. It was on Radio 4, so should be on iplayer. I'll link if I find it.
