It's an excellent thing. However, the prospect of it paralyses our 
government, who seem too dumb to realise that acting only in ways 
endorsed by the /Mail/ wrecks their credibility.

And both the /Mail/ and the Murdoch Sun/Times/Sky TV axis oppose European 
integration of any kind with every fibre of their papers. The Mail 
because it refuses to acknowledge that we are no longer a superpower 
and sells its copies to people who feel the need to be frightened by 
bogeymen; the Murdoch press because Murdoch's concentration of media 
ownership is incompatible with European press regulation laws, and it 
fears being broken up.
