TV journalism

I thought the BBC coverage of the Coronation was an abysmal abandonment of any journalistic principles. I thought it was as bad as it could get, until I watched ITV of course.

If the media are not lying, then there would be no problem with having an elected head of state. Everybody loves Charles and Camilla so the people would vote for them and that would be a simple solution. 

Strangely the craven monarchists of the media do not suggest such a solution.

Charles rules by divine right. The will of the people does not come into it. And the police are there to see that people do not have a different opinion. 

52 people were arrested without committing any offence. The figure keeps going up, the police were lying. 

People are being imprisoned for their opinions by a government which protests that freedom of speech is very important.

 

The arrests included volunteers for Westminster City Council who were distributing rape alarms. 

The Coronation is an expensive diversion from the cost of living crisis. It is an incidental diversion from the Tories' parlous election results this week too.
