Shame he's so bloody entertaining and accurate! It must make your piss boil.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643468499189741795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-76729553629462761622010-03-22T19:15:43.909+00:002010-03-22T19:15:43.909+00:00The 'point' is they're meant to be New...The 'point' is they're meant to be News papers - not 'might have been' papers - or 'probably' papers.<br /> I would pass the comment back to you 'Best thing to do is to stop reading then, eh?' but in regard to this blog and perhaps blogs that carry a similar message, that seems to wind you up so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-59026067499425034352010-03-22T17:43:52.288+00:002010-03-22T17:43:52.288+00:00So, what's his point?

Newspapers make it impossible have a sensible debate about anything, not just drugs, surely? Take your pick - state of the economy? War on Terror? National Health Service?
