Re: Death of Innocence.
Only sure way Des is to get rid of all politicians. Just keep the civil service and appoint a dictator. Maybe what some of these hackers mentioned are aiming at . JS

Re: Death of Innocence.
The news media here in the UK and I am sure other countries around the Globe are owned and funded by wealthy business men. Many of those business men are foreign nationals They push their editors to manufacture so called news items to suit their own views on how countries should be run.
Not sure if I have ever read a newspaper that was totally unbiased in the content of certain articles.
They lie invent stories and are not behind the door at phone hacking Private citizens and Royals accounts.
The Daily Mirror group recently paid Prince Harry £400,000 over phone hacking. Several other high profile people have successfully won libel actions against the the Daily Mail.
The BBC are often accused for there bias approach. Anyone who is daft enough to watch GB News and believe they report the truth are either incredibly niave or ignorant. GB News has been sancitioned and heavily fined for mis reporting and plainly telling lies.

There is a saying in the media circles.
Good news is no news
Bad news sells copy.

Re: Death of Innocence.
Anyone watch Questiontime tonight?
One young member in the audience asked a question about what was to be done to help combat knife crime!!
4 members on the panel everyone faffed aout and not one seriously came up with a solution.
The question was expanded and one audience member added the reason for an increase in knife crime was the reduction in social services and other such support services.
Why did anyone of them on the panel not have the balls to say!!! the increase in knife is mostly down to drugs and gangs. How about you young people get your tish sorted and just say no to drugs. Also try taking some responsiblity for your own safety.
One member on the panel voiced her concerns about police use of stop and search. Why !!! because it is upsetting people from ethnic back grounds.
They want the problem of knife to be solved but stop serching non white people.
I am sure when I say the vast majority of knife crime , certainly in london is Black on Black.
Drugs and gangs that is the main problem.
