What can the papers report? I am derfinitely cynical! Ukraine, Gaza, Trump, trade wars, farmers inheritance are all old news and the papers have lost interest? The Met have been prevented from sacking officers – assisted dying – 11 suspended Labour councillors for age old What’s App comments. It is like a “not August” silly season! The Star at least tried to stimulate interest with the release of JFK files by Trump; the Guardian tried something. similar with a UFO story from yonks ago yesterday. The Mail desperately tries to get people in a huff about a person who ‘may be’ a candidate for a government job working from home in Finland.
So presumably good news is no news? Or is it sadder that old news is no news? Gaza could be about to flare up again (Hamas seem to be poking the Israel/USA bear with a stick!?). Ukraine war is still going on; Climatic events continue to impact; Women are still being raped in Sudan (and India?),
Basically nothing of interest – the Government is boring, Tories irrelevant and ridiculous, LimDems (hiding?), Reform also irrelevant, greens – waiting for spring? SNP withered.
So our intrepid journalists stake out a bar, do a line and try to come up with a story. Lies have already been used and did not stick despite best efforts (Angela Rayner); Royal family seems to be behaving although Kate might be going woke with a visit to a mother and baby section of a prison (this would be great for the RWPress but royalty is a No-no (unless it is about a black, American divorcee and a possibly illegitimate Duke of Sussex!) For similar reasons the Grand Old Duke of York is best ignored! C’mon guys (they are all guys in the bar – RW bimbo’s prefer more salubrious company! EU is boring although we could do a skit on the demise of German industry – but it might recover?
WTF – can we raid the Sun for shite about a celebrity? We have already fucked over the Dancers and the cooking show – reality shows fuck themselves. “Does anyone know how to start an earthquake or a volcano (pretty pictures but less suffering for newsprint”.
“OK so nip off to a local pub, buy a few rounds and see what happens!” Someone is bound to spout off about something! Maybe an AI horror story – one actually written by AI!
