Are the plans of Westminster to make?

I do not think the American workers were stupid I can imagine this happening anywhere. i must admit it did cause me a quiet smile. I suppose you can also say it almost certainly relieved the boredom of a boring job

The media are always on the look out to bring panic and so called surprises to the public's attention. Apart from filling their front pages, it takes a lot of pressure from the governments inapt handling of the country's affairs and the incompetence of the Cabinet Ministers

It's not Westminster. It's fleet street. i.e. the media.

No news outlet wants to give us the real information. Why? Because they want drama. They want sensationalism and hype that'll keep us tuning in night after night, and flicking through the pages day after day.

And it works. Most people really don't care that they're very safe from swine flu; but they'll care that someone died [again, in this case] in this country from the disease.

It's just cheap theatre; and it works a treat.

The media are making us look stupid.
