Another thought, Henry & readers. How about an annually-updated online disclosure of their political and institutional affiliations, work history synopsis AND critically, alll sources of income + assets (see George Monbiot's website as an example) for all journalists, opinion writers/columnists, politicians (national & local level), and ANYONE online presenting opinions (educated or otherwise), news stories, their own retelling or commenting on news stories, "the truth" etc. Pie in the sky stuff, I know, but anyone in agreement could start by publishing their own, just as George Monbiot does.
Monbiot was picked out to be a left wing leader 30 or 40 years ago. He’s failed at that so why should we consider his views of any substance. He wants to cover the UK in trees which for a country that already imports 70% of its food (like NZ does in fact, believe it or not) is a disastrous policy that will result in a UK of 11 million people if its lucky. Where are the other 55 million going to go? Maybe ask that son of the establishment scumbag called George?
