From Deimocracy To Theatrocracy: A Sad Day For The British Press…..
…isn’it, when most of the headlines during the past few years can be explained in a few words in a farcical radio show.
Here’s an excerpt from BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, broadcast Friday 26 June 2009:
We do not really want change, we want villains for our national pantomime […] everyone says they want change but hate figures are basically more satisfying and they don’t entail having actually to do anything […] it is much easier to find a hate figure [like the BBC in Iran]
Goodbye deimocracy, the power of fear…hello theatrocracy?
