The White Rabbit says: make 6th May Disobey Murdoch Day:
Meanwhile all is not well in the Murdochbunker. James (‘Baby Doch’) Murdoch and the startlingly redheaded Rebekah Wade managed to slip their care in the community people and busted into the newsroom of the Independent ‘see cartoon above), much to the surprise of the assembled hacks. The Independent had the temerity to have distributed free copies with a wraparound front page announcing ‘Rupert Murdoch won’t decide this election – you will’.
The cheek!!!
Baby Doch stormed up to the Independent’s editor in chief.
‘What are you fucking playing at?’ he bellowed. Tsk! Such pottymouth is a bad example to His Rupertness’s subjects. Baby Doch and Ms Wade were steered into the editor in chief’s office where a heated debate took place.
Personally, I’d have called security to chuck them out.
One matter that has attracted comment is how the growth of the internet has created a much more open debate than that dictated by the usual suspects. This may explain in part their discomnfiture. The rabbit can only suggest that all people of goodwill cast their votes to indicate their disobedience of Murdoch, the Mail, the Torygraph. The whole motley crew…
So vote Green, vote Respect, vote whatever properly leftwing party or coalition takes your fancy, vote Labour if your local candidate is not too odious, even vote Lib-Dem if you must, but do not vote for Murdoch. Remember: the Lib Dems may be just as awful as the other two, but nobody at the Murdoch press has been smart enough to cultivate them in the past two decades like they’ve done with the Tories and New Labour.
