I have re-read the article having rescued it from recycling. Without being a Tory [every party other than Green and Monster Raving Loony has either received my vote, or received serious consideration] I have been a D Tel reader fror over 60 years. It could just be because my wife "does the crossword" every day ........ the cryptic, and others. She finishes them most days.

I opine that the standard of content has gone sharply down the plughole in a short time. Not only typos but mammoth length sentences with random punctuation, but also no sub-editing or proofing. The journalism has now joined the race to the bottom, and the article referred to above was just silly. The author had a valid point ruined by a fatuous approach and shrill opinion.

As long as the British public are allowed to express judgement on a free press being silly, we remain a democracy.
