Am I the only one who noticed this?

Lately the Express&Star newspaper has been writing articles on the basis of research undertaken by the Taxpayers Alliance. It’s curious how there are an increasing number of pseudo academic research bodies emerging, being used as valid sources of information by right-wing crap newspapers when all they amount to is front operations for the vested interests of the Tory Party.

Just a thought. Oh, and while we’re on crap journalism as the Express&Star excels at that. Did anyone else notice the article about some Tory Councillor up in Tettenhall winging about closing their local fire station. Maybe I’m just a tad cynical but this whole services are being cut, taxes are rising line being perpetuated by the Tories is a bit rich. Perhaps someone should have told him instead of making stupid statements to the press, and the press being stupid enough to print them, that if he was really concerned about cuts in fire service provision then he’d be better off talking to his fellow Tories on the West Midland Fire Authority. They do after all have the majority so presumably they’re the buggers who could actually do something about it.
