A littler rant (a rantette, perhaps?)

I don’t watch the news at all these days, but obviously the garages of which I am manager are also purveyors of newspapers, and I notice that the front pages have become amazingly Brexit-free over the past week. It’s almost as if nothing outside of ‘The European Problem’ existed for weeks on end, and now it gets barely a mention. It’s almost as if the Brexit delay until October has made it disappear from the consciences of the masses. It’s almost as if the self-serving, money-grabbing artichokes that run these media companies just leap on whatever is getting the ‘click-throughs’ at that given time and sensationalise them for profit without thinking about the long-term effects on the everyday folk who waste their money on buying their turgid output. Isn’t that what basically got us into the whole Brexit mess in the first place? People basing their votes on the bullshit in print? Whichever way you sat on the Euro fence you were misled by the bollocks-spouters in Wherever-They-Are-Now-They’ve-All-Left-Fleet-Street.

The good news (from their point of view) is that no-one in this country ever learns anything, so the papers are still flying off the shelves, and when Brexit roars back onto the covers later this year, they’ll probably fly even higher.

Is it obvious I’ve been drinking this evening?
