MEDIA TRUTH
A gang most evil stalks the land,
We must be brave and take a stand.
They’re saying things that raise offence
And there’s no need for evidence
Of character or motivation,
Offence will prove their condemnation.
Let’s have no doubt, it must be true;
You heard it here on Channel 2.

Am I detecting a smidge of cynicism there Neville?
Short, sharp and to the point though (sadly) Well done.

Maureen, in all the booing and snarling about things said, nobody seems to raise the question " is what they say, true "
As George Orwell said " In an age of deception to speak the truth is a revolutionary act "
