Sometimes cynicism can go too far. But if you hadn't, somebody else would have. More significant headlines came yesterday when fiqures of just how bankrupt the country (read Govt) is; started to be announced. I hasten to add that in the recent days we (read Govt) have made financial contributions to the third world and continue to fight two very expensive Campaigns (read wars). One wonders how a bankrupt Govt can continue to spend money it clearly does not have, whilst hoping that Govt employees do not become the fall guys (n galls). That a C17 arrived at LYN yesterday with flag draped coffins must really irritate the Govt PR machine; and yes, Sky News are already proving that the smoke element of the smoke and mirrors is now up and running. If the announcement on AFPRB is tomorrow, it will demonstrate above all else how underhand this Govt actually is, and quite possibly how the media do not rate the military ops / casualties as 'newsworthy' anymore.
