The record's stuck so they change it

The government’s media experts’ latest plan to shift public attention away from the shambles of brexit has certainly worked this time.

The police have been nudged into grabbing the WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange from his long and ghastly asylum in Ecuador’s London embassy.

And that has certainly changed the headlines, and – putting democratic thoughts to a side for the moment - thank the heavens (or the government media experts) for it.

Pantomime

And most probably so say all of us.

What a pantomime the brexit talks have been, what a really ghastly showing of poor democracy is the whole political nonsense of leaving the EU or not.

And what lies, or huge exaggerations, were used to persuade the populace to vote against remaining.

Yet among the endless arguing within government, what do we hear of those who deliberately misled voters, and the wealthy capitalists’ millions pumped into the leave propaganda? Nothing.

A minority government splits into opposing sides.
