Sudden calls from Tories to control the Main Stream Media after years of misinformation designed to prop up whatever lies the government is seeking to spread.
Newspapers all run by tax avoiding Tory supporting billionaires, and the BBC whose directors were appointed by David Cameron to control the flow of information, under threat of losing their licence fee.
Suddenly the weight of public opinion and falling revenues have forced them to print some actual truth, and the Right wingers don't like it.
Probably a great time to hold these people accountable, but in reality they will be gently reminded who looks after them and will all toe the party line once the current fuss has died down.
But it was fun while it lasted.

Common Sense
Interesting that several government ministers have been trotting out the line "the general public should use common sense", to excuse themselves from all the mixed messages that come out every day.
Obviously this is coming from Conservative HQ as part of "operation blameshift" which will be ramped up for the next few months as it is with every other disaster, just remember Grenfell which managed to shift the blame to the firefighters.
Sadly as this blogs title suggests common sense seems to be going out of fashion at an alarming rate, a quick trawl through social media shows a high proportion of the population are led by whatever they are told by the media, which as anyone with an ounce of common sense knows is agenda driven.
Sometimes you think their must be a program of brainwashing going on, as people you know and seemed quite well adjusted are posting whatever the media tells them and refuse to believe overwhelming evidence to the contrary?
"It was the public wot did it"
