NORTHERN PLANNER

Sorry, I’m sure you’re as sick of Big Brother as I, but I can’t help it.

From ‘good hearted working class girl’ to ‘foul mouthed dimwit’ in the space of few days. Has anything revealed the cruelty of the media better than this sorry spectacle? No one would excuse the bullying meted out to Shilpa, but the meticulous assasination by the media seems just as bad.

Britain feels pleased with itself for punishing this pathetic creation of celebrity obsessed times for her terrible crimes –  I wonder how many have noticed the double standards in the unwillingness to forgive someone who is so obviously a product of under education and upbringing? That doesn’t strike me as tolerant either.

This week David Cameron wrote in The Telegraph that he would opt out of the EU Social Chapter. That means lots of things, but in particular, part time workers would lose most of the basic rights afforded to full timers. This is cuddly, ‘Hug -a Hoodie’ Cameron, ride a bike to work Cameron. But as long we all know how evil Jade Goody is I suppose it doesn’t matter eh?
