"They either don't know - or they're lying"

Listening to Joe Duffy - for once. Normally, I don't get to hear it, cos I'm at work, but I'm at home today.

There's a man on talking about leaving for England. He calls himself 'a survivor'. Fair play to him. He reckons that there's something very wrong here. How perceptive of him. they don't have the money to get driving lessons - especially in rural Ireland, so he's going.

He said "They either don't know - or they're lying". That's the most perceptive statement that I've heard in a long time.

My brain is in a kind of paralysis. Between the Politicians and the Meeja, both are complicit in sucking the oxygen out of the air - at least that's what it feels like to me...

I'm off to read a historical novel... a bit of alternative perspective would be good
