Pass the 10 gallon sick bucket. The media (and that means ALL of the media) are obsequiously tugging their collective forelocks and being ever so grateful for a 'good news story.' Delighted subjects chant how happy they are for the pair. Sloane Rangers line up to add their twoguineasworth. 'Call me Dave' milks it for all he is worth. A Government heading for distinctly rocky waters finds a lifebelt. A whole industry springs into life giving 'colour' to the story. Anyone with even the faintest connection to the two millionaires are rubbing their hands and ringing the cash tills. The Glenda Slags, Phil Spaces and the Sylvie Krins hug themselves with glee. Miles and miles of column inches given over to tosh, guff and grovelling.
The coverage so far has been appalling.
When will we grow up?
And all this on a day when it became clear that the government acting in our name has all but confirmed its involvement in torture. BBC Newsnight devoted barely thirty seconds to the torture story - and over 20 minutes to Right Royal Drivel.
Should you feel the same then please access the Beebs complaints procedure via its online website. Then just maybe there could be a bit more matter-of-fact approach to the whole thing rather than this vast outpouring of dog vomit across the airwaves.
Right on, dude ! And it can only get worse - flaming months of pathetic attempts to guess the origin / style of 'the dress', which cathedral, where they will honeymoon , while the country edges ever nearer utter mayhem and corruption and lies from on high. I think I may be driven slowly mad over the coming months.....
