That Ye Be Not Deceived

David Cameron's pet pollster has dutifully provided a Murdoch newspaper with data suggesting that Ed Miliband is less popular than his brother.

This morning, in post-liturgical conversation with an old friend who is PhD (Cantab), has Radio Four on all day, and so on, I found that he had no idea that Labour had won five by-elections since Ed Miliband became Leader.

The Blairite media's campaign of disinformation is having its desired effect. As these ratings demonstrate.

    You mention post-liturgical conversation in your post. David, do you attend Sunday mass in Lanchester or do you travel in to Durham?

    In Lanchester. A very Radio Four parish. But, in any case and not that I have ever been a liturgical commuter or would ever wish to be, now entirely cut off on a Sunday for those of us medically unable to drive. Which brings us back on topic, more or less.

    Lanchester. Pinstriped, silk handkerchiefed, gold watched, posh voiced reader, special minister, pastoral council member, general stalwart, all he needs is for a school governor to die and he'll be back as one through the Church rather than the party that kicked him out. Sickening. Class power of the very worst kind.

    I'd have to be quite someone to exercise "class power" in this parish.

    On topic, please.

    David, I had no intention of posting anything else off-topic to this thread. I just have read the remarks made by an anonymous commenter & wish to assure you that I did not make that 2nd anonymous comment. Thank you.

    Don't worry, I know.
