While people in Greece seem to be living under mass hypnosis, caring a lot about media and how many TV channels they will have access to (channels that ironically belong to the elite that led the country to bankruptcy and controlled by their pawn “journalists”) in U.K. they have, at least kept their humor and their right to act against their government’s mandates.
British MP Andrew Rosindell filed an early day motion in the House of Commons, asking to restore the tradition of playing the country’s national anthem on BBC1 at the end of the daily program, just before switching to BBC News 24.
Last night “Newsnight”, a BBC Two show, responded to Rosindell by mocking him and his request. They chose to broadcast Sex Pistols’ “God Save the Queen” before ending their show. Watch it go down and see the MP’s reaction below.
The comparison between Greece and UK on this is pretty simple. In UK journalists are still free to go against their employer (let’s not forget that BBC is not a private channel) while in Greece TV channels are basically propaganda tools. We have to respect BBC Two for their actions, but recent events in Europe make me wonder if actions like that are free medias’ swansong and we are entering a darker and more controlled era of media.
