Welcome to my blog. I am a former local journalist who now works in PR and a Conservative and community activist in Woking and Horsell. This blog will keep updated on local issues as well as my interests and quirky news stories.
Releasing “news” time and time again is not something that is unheard of with the Labour government and it seems that even the BBC is not trying to hide it for them anymore.
We heard today (well, actually it was leaked to the NoW yesterday) from the Home Office that a brilliant “new” scheme of gaining citizenship was going to be pioneered, with points awarded for good behaviour until pop – the passport’s in the post.
But we’ve also heard it before, as a quick glance in the See Also column on the right hand side of the story shows. First in June 2007 for goodness’ sake and then again in January this year as Brown’s desperation mounted.
This is not new – instead of peddling the press release to the public once again, the BBC ought to be pressing on why something mooted two years ago is no further to delivery. Especially if they can’t bothered to spare the government’s re-spinning blushes anyway.
