PARALLELS
FROM HISTORY
On the 75th
anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, it is
dispiriting in the extreme for staff at No10 to employ the strategies
of Nazi Germany.
Upon arrival at
Auschwitz, prisoners (sic) were divided into two groups – those
chosen to be slave labour and those chosen to be executed.
In the case of No10 and
lobby journalists attending a government briefing, the self-same
strategy was on display; the journalists were divided into two groups
– those chosen to be allowed to work and those chosen to be
dispatched onto the pavement.
Such behaviour smacks
of totalitarianism and a blatant attempt to curtail press/media
freedom and is an affront to the democratic process.
Still as long as
Alexander Johnson can spend his time talking to groups of children
and generally talking, as Johnson put it, a load of “mumbo jumbo”,
well mustn’t grumble.
