Northern Rock

I am really quite annoyed by the whole fiasco, not least the lack of approbation the media has towards the crowds queuing up outside Northern Rock branches.

None of them seem to be working on anything other than "We've had all these reassurances from the lying toads so therefore I'm doing the opposite". Is no-one capable of checking out the facts any more? Does no-one believe the lack of ability to research the facts behind the headlines is something to be ashamed of?

Obviously not. There is after all no shame in ignorance. There used to be, however, some small amount of shame in wilful ignorance.
