I don’t read many papers. I got fed up with the way they all told me what to think about the news they were passing on. “Ban this sick game” when it should of read “Game complaints rise” or something, “Stamp out this evil drug” when a violent criminal stabs someone when off their face on skunk, that sort of thing.
I mean just tell me what has happened and let me make up my own mind eh?
That’s why I like reading the Metro, it doesn’t tell me what opinion to have even though it is rather biased on the travel page “London Transport is fantastic and getting better” Hmmm. Well that is because it is distributed in the tube and rail stations so it has to be nice to the hand that feeds it.
Anyway, I saw this morning that some Spanish motor racing fans had hurled racist abuse at Lewis Hamilton during the F1 test session in Spain. Some even “blacked up” and wore wigs. This is unforgivable and stupid beyond belief. I don’t need a paper to tell me that.
The metro said that the FIA were considering sanctions, the Sun (glimpsed over someone’s shoulder on the packed tube) was running a headline along the lines of “Punish these racist bastards!”
I find the Sun going on about racism rather strange personally.
