This is just par for the course with this shower of leeches.
They basically invited Rupert Murdoch to write their media and broadcast policy before the last election. Note how much has changed in the media, post-Leveson. Absolutely sod all!!! Nor will it!
Then they got McDonalds and the supermarkets in to write their policy on food and agriculture, and advertising. Note: no moves to restrict advertising junk food to children, and no action on supermarkets after all the horse-meat nonsense, and no increased labelling of salt content etc. What a surprise!!!
Now with this, its just a continuation of them saying to their mates – all of course donors – What would you like? Write us a list and we’ll sort it out for you. Just sign the cheque and leave it blank, we’ll fill out the rest. Do you reckon you’ll be looking for a non-exec director in a couple of years, by any chance?
I love it when they then refer to this as ‘self-regulation’. I wish they’d refer to it as what it actually is: a total absence of regulation
