And not a word, not a whisper or a hint from the Guardian that one of their most prolific columnists of the past few decades has been the subject of a great deal of contempt in Fleet Street in recent days, and has been stripped of his professorship. Nothing.
An Phoblacht and the PSF Propaganda Department taught them (and the Labour party, too) that after an embarrassing incident (frequently one where collateral damage in the form of women shopping or children playing turned out to be the principle target) they must be silent. Say nothing at all, while the rest of the world's Press howl and blither, and then a few days later; "Oooh, look! A Squirrel!" This would take the form of a blast at the Army, or Government or some other hate-figure, and they would attempt to make it the bigger story. Usually successfully; their PR Department was and remains very well versed in Pravda. Watch out for this on their pages, shortly.
