Every one I speak to seems rather dispondent with the job.

We are kept away from too much news that is actually bad, instead, we are fed a stream of vaporous froth and sensationalism by the very devices you list. Perhaps it is that we are tiring of.

Watching horizon “the honest supermarket” lastnight depressed the hell out of me! Labelling produce by how many times it had been sprayed, potatoes sprayed 32 times!!, really doesnt help the general public onside. When Im asked what i would of done differently in life it would be not get on a fecking tractor. With 28 years at work before retirement I’m not certain how things will pan out
