Why are the serious papers showing no concern that the Labour Party, which placed one of its many tax-dodging non-dom billionaire donors on the Privy Council, is now owned by a single trade union for all practical (sic) purposes, a union whose political chief is Brown’s closest friend Whelan, a union who at Whelan's bidding has given Labour more millions for this election than the Conservative Party could ever hope to raise from all sources, a union which has effectively bought and taken charge of the Labour Party and its election manifesto and is in the process of buying the election?
Is this open attack on democracy of no concern? Not a story? At all?
Why are the BBC and the serious newspapers (and the Daily Mail) united in their contentment to follow every poison-trail laid down by the Witch-finder General Mandelson and his familiar, Campbell, by which they intend to wound fatally the leader and effective deputy leader of the Conservative Party in the run up to an election in which these men lead the only alternative to the Labour Party?
Are they so confident that Mandelson will be the source of power in the next government that they strain to retain his favour, and so help his wish to become the nation's reality?
Why is the only alternative to Labour as our next government, the Conservative Party, being denied anything but passing reference by the BBC to its policies except when one of those policies is selected for all-out attack by Lord Mandelson which is exhaustively reported for at least a whole news cycle?
Does this systematic omission of information and complicity in attack satisfy (even) the corporation's duty to inform, let alone be impartial?
How is it good for Britain for political commentators actively to exculpate Gordon Brown, the man who has been in sole charge of government in all matters of domestic government and defence for thirteen years, for the calamitous condition of our country and for its low ranking in every international measure of success from child-welfare to educational attainment, from security from attack to economic viability?
Is the measurable - and measured - contempt for and anger at Brown, widely said to be a liar and derelict of duty, and not a story? At all?
How is taking sides with the Forces of Hell good for the country or for the reputation of the press and the BBC? This media group think... if that is all it is... is curious. Very curious indeed. And malign.
