I can hardly believe this. How on earth can they give a state funeral for that old hag? The woman whose policies divided Britain when she was PM for eleven years? She may still command respect from friends and foes alike, but she doesn’t deserve it….none whatsoever…
…if you’ve read the front page headline in the ‘Daily Mirror’ today.
The Cost of Living Index, compiled with retail publication The Grocer and price comparison website Money-Supermarket.com, show the actual inflation figure is now around 18.5 per cent, at least six per cent up on last month. Food prices are up 14 per cent, fuel taxes rose 30 per cent, making getting around on public and private transport more expensive, and total household bills rose 4.3 per cent. The figure quoted by the Mirror is at least five times higher than the government’s official figures.
Once again, the hard-pressed working masses are continuing to struggle with increasingly high bills. The government will easily find ever decreasing resources to bail out badly-managed banks, but struggle to put forward a decent plan to reduce the tightening financial burden on the general public.

The awesome Williams sisters served a double triumph at Wimbledon yesterday…. yet all the British media could talk about was Laura Robson. She was on both the front and back of most of the newspapers and given a mention on the TV too… yet she is only 14 years old.
Robson, from South London, became the first British player since Annabel Croft in 1984 (a long, long, long, long, long time in British tennis) to win the Junior Wimbledon championship, beating the No3 seed Noppawan Lertcheewakern of Thailand 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
Why did the achievement of Robson, worthy as it was, get a better mention than the victories of the almost unstoppable Williams’? It’s completely unfair that they still have to prove to the British public that they are great tennis players.
Or, in the eyes of some conspiracy theorists:
