Poor Man About Town

The Sun shines on Blunkett and Blair. The recent crap on is seen by The Sun as completely scandalous and full of lies (that's rich considering the splendid job they are doing on David Beckham!). I read this extremely sycophantic editorial towards the Government - the editorial made mention of an enquiry (hosted by a glove puppet, no doubt). It emphasised that it would be a public enquiry and therefore honest as the day is long. The editorial offered a bowing and scraping praise for Blunkett for having the guts and integrity at offering to have an enquiry. The Sun is out to mobilise its plebian readership to vote for Blair as it did for Thatcher (do you recall the days when Trade Unions at Labour Party Conference used to vote its membership to determine Labour Party policy, this pissed a lot of people off, well having The Sun in your pocket is like getting a huge block vote). Yes, this is the age of power politics - The Sun reports its line as a form of catechism with the expectation that it is repeated in the pub, the workplace and in front of the telly. The Sun has an awful lot of power in the form of its block vote and it came to pass that New Labour policy was written by the Sun and it was happen and smiled and shone upon the Earth.
