As they would have expected, being allowed to push the boundaries, more and more, they got their sales and the manipulated section of the masses, had their prurience titillated. <br /><br />It has become, through devious, phsychological selling tactics, a catch-22 dear Vincent.<br /><br />ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-59697412842736168292013-03-19T14:43:56.341+00:002013-03-19T14:43:56.341+00:00Au contraire, dear ZACL, it's a proud day for ...<i>Au contraire</i>, dear ZACL, it's a proud day for British democracy and a blow for not just the Murdoch press but the Daily Mail too, and others.<br /><br />But let's not forget that the muck they have published, by devious and criminal means sometimes, is in response to the democracy of consumer demand which has no scruples in trampling on the private life of innocent people, celebrities or otherwise. <br /><br />Politicians can be corrupt, so can the Press, so can the police.

There have been several announcements of that nature. For example, the latest announcement is child care tax relief for <i>two </i>parents working, with children up to the age of five, due to come in, in 2015. <br /><br />This is setting up bribes to the populace, in order to be elected.
