Speaking truth to power
Today's Evening Standard contains the following headline on page 4:
DARLING APPLAUDS STANDARD CAMPAIGN ON RAIL STATION SAFETY
It goes on:
"The Evening Standard's campaign to improve passenger safety at London's stations has been praised in the Commons by Transport Secretary Alistair Darling."
Bravo, lads! That's telling 'em.
I mean, I'm no great fan of the goldfish bowl world of Fourth Estate agit prop masquerading as political Opposition, but really. This is a story that wouldn't have disgraced Pravda during the Soviet era, you know the sort of thing:
PARTY BOSS PRAISES OUR REPORTS ON STEEL PRODUCTION.
