Common Sense Junior Prone to Cancer
Common Sense Junior is in grave danger of falling victim to the insidious cancer that killed his dad.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) agrees that the British National Party should not be invited onto the BBC's Question Time programme.
The very union that represents freedom of speech - or should do - is now backing moves to distort the public view of the political landcape in the UK.
It's no wonder we're presented with one-sided
propaganda when the very union that is supposed to represent journalists and support them in the jobs they do, is backing any call to prevent the public from being given the full picture.
That picture, as far as the face of politics in this country is concerned, includes the British National Party whether we like it or not.
Journalists are not social workers. They are not an arm of the police. The are not propagandists.
They are watchdogs and report and comment faithfully on what is happening in the world.
I know because I am one. And I'm disgusted with what was my union.
I don't like the British National Party or what it stands for. Just like I haven't liked or agreed with many of the causes, situations, political views I've been called upon to write about.
But even if it reduced me to tears, including views and politics I detested, I DID MY JOB.
Sadly, I am a dinosaur although I'm not alone.
There are many of us left and I'd imagine we're all appalled at this latest announement of our union at the Trades Union Conferene in Liverpool.
As far as I'm concerned, we in this country - and probably all over the world - are being given a one-sided, selective sliver of news that is being dictated, not by the people but by political parties.
For that is what this is about. It's one political party, or several, standing up against another one because they don't like its policies or what it stands for.
But people have voted for the party that the NUJ now agrees should be sent sent packing into the shadows of no man's land, never to be heard of again.
So who does the NUJ now represent? Its membership which used to represent the public or political parties who dictate what should be newsworthy and what shouldn't.
This is the sort of cancer that killed Common Sense. An insiduous, dangerous disease that spreads from controlling what people can and cannot say to controlling what they can and cannot be told of.
I'm still aiming for my island home, the Common Sense Republic, and raising funds for my business to get there.
I've joined a like-minded band of people all raising business capital the same way, without banks, without loans and without incurring any debt.
