The unacceptable face of British journalism

Without any shame, British "journalists" exploit terrorism in London and Manchester to make political gain for their own ends.

Image may contain: 5 people, people smiling

National newspapers will endorse a political party dependant upon the view of the proprietor and the editorial management. We may not agree with their endorsement, but it is their decision. 
Today, one "newspaper" carries an endorsement for Theresa May and her conservatives on a front page which is the most scurrilous and reprehensible front page since their coverage of the Hillsborough disaster some 27 years ago.
Under the pretense of conducting "an investigation", this "newpaper" unashamedly cashes in on the terrorist atrocities of the last three months by linking a speech made many years ago to a large rally, attended by some 10,000 people, to terrorist events in London and Manchester in the last three months.
Over the course of its history since first being published in 1964, this "newspaper" has managed to avoid any retribution for its reporting of events by using the "freedom of the press" argument, which they clearly belive allows them to publish anything about anyone they choose no matter how scandalous, outrageous or distorted such publication may be and no matter how offensive the reader may find the "story".
It is an outrage and perversion that these journalistic leeches have been allowed to exploit their apparent immunity for so many years.
Should their idol, so entusiastically endorsed this morning, ever have the opportunity to, "tear uphuman rights laws and clear away barriers to fighting terror", she would do well to remove this "newspaper's" protection and that of its proprietor, close down all their operating premises and intern all their staff, without trial or due process, for an indefinite period.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
