I had almost exactly this conversation with another (English) guy just the other day - it all started with the mass "grief" the week after Diana.
Since then collective grief/joy/outrage seems to be the norm in the UK media and if you're not part of it you're insensitive or A Bad Person. Tin hat on... BMW PS nothing more to add to the Becchio debate, I've been on Team Walker since the beginning. dave walmsley <[email protected]> wrote: As has been mentioned, there have been some strange things going on of late with stiff sentences for trivial things. However, it's the same with Andrew Mitchell, BBC chiefs, Hillsborough etc.... Certain matters, large or small, are raked over in such fine detail. No mistake is ever allowed. A culprit must be found and punished. Personally, I'm convinced it started after the death of Diana, when the people (influenced by or through an all powerful media) started dictating things. Even though its easy to think the converse is true, Politicians and judges are only doing what the masses/media expect of them. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
