Richard Wallace of the Daily Mirror and Tina Weaver
of the Sunday Mirror were given their marching orders. It would be interesting
to see where they end up after losing their very prominent jobs as main editors
of the left-wing newspapers.
This is one of Giuseppe’s favourite subjects and I
will take the literary freedom to talk about it. Amalgamation of newspapers is
nothing new but it is extremely relevant today when the readership of local and
national newspapers – especially the extremely biased ones – is going
down.
Have a look at Democracy because Democracy is also
going down with less than 40 per cent of people actually voting and talking to
some of those who did not bother to vote the message we get is extremely clear:
they no longer believe in the democratic process and consider that Democracy is
a waste of
time.
As the Chinese say, we are living in interesting
times. Even Boris Johnson was asked on May 23rd 2012 if his aim of wanting to change
the laws regarding industrial actions was not hypocritical taking into account
that Members of Parliament get elected in some cases with less than 16 per cent
of the vote.
Boris Johnson argues that there should not be any
strikes if moves to strike are approved by less than 51% of trade union members.
Following his argument, he himself and all the members of the London Assembly
should resign, adding to them the resignation of Members of Parliament and of
every Local and Regional authority because they were all elected with a lot less
than 51%.
Somehow, the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Mirror are
the perfect type of newspapers for a Nazi or Marxist dictatorship. So at the end
of the day there is no big loss. The useful idiots will soon be replaced by
another set of useful idiots that will foot the line and follow the dictacts of
their paymasters.
For the next five years France will have a Socialist President but political changes in Parliament will still determine who will be Prime Minister. It is interesting to consider that in spite of the fact that the President appoints the next Prime Minister the President himself cannot dismiss the Prime Minister and that only with the agreement of the Prime Minister can the President name the other members of the Cabinet.
Changes in the French political environment could lead to a Socialist President having to deal with a Conservative Prime Minister. The reverse already happened. Knowing how each political system works can give you an idea of the range of posibilities.
