A Good Day To Bury BBC Bad News


...about Iraq.

This survey which was part-funded by the BBC (that means you and me, folks) found that...

"Violence and insecurity are no longer the main concern of most Iraqis, for the first time since the 2003 US-led invasion, an opinion poll suggests. It says Iraqis are much more hopeful about the future and are increasingly pre-occupied with more conventional worries like the economy and jobs."

If the result had been different then you can be certain that we would have heard a lot more about it on every news bulletin available.

A doff of the fedora to a certain Alastair Campbell. Ha! Never thought that would ever be typed on this blog!

"There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect."

Lady Thatcher

"If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."

Voltaire

"Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare."
