I am seriously unimpressed with the media.
they criticise the population for being uninformed about europe and the consitution and all that, but that is THEIR role to inform us.
And they are failing abysmally.
If you examine the critical comment in the news, its like an Attenborough wildlife prog. there is very little of any substance.
Its just all dressed up chat, gossip designed to pander to the 90s man, trendy.
Its seriously short on substance.
Blair like anyone is a curious mix of some good, some mediocre, and some bad.
I like what he has done in the past, a lot of it needed, bank of E's independance, I thought saddam had to go, plenty more.
However, I am suffering from Blair fatigue, sucking bush's cock on everything, spin, his band of idiots like hoon who has no honour, blunkett who wants to wreck 1000 years of legal history, straw who is a pilloch, they are as wet as the tories.
with all the Iraq stuff, tho., we are in danger of being attacked and villifed like america, in the world. Its amazing we have gotten away for this long.
America is staunchly self interested, and would not follow us if we wanted help, yet tries to get us on board when it does. And we follow.
In europe, our identity is being eroded, we will be driving in km per hour, on the rhs, I don't mind tax harmonisation at all, I just want our national traditions, and no more desk pushers. This though is at risk.
Out of it we will fade away into nothing. China is on the up, 5-10 yrs, watch out.
