They can't say they weren't warned. I hope that the companies who take on this project have superb public relations personal..

They always do. It will be down to the masses to resist it - just like the poll tax." The Sun has helped reveal the media's true function - a mouthpiece for the ruling elite. It's certainly not a paper for the people as it claims to be. They should carry a header that reads: The Sun - The British Government's Favourite Newspaper! Charles Clarke should have hailed the deal as a “sensible and acceptable cave in”. At least, for once, he would have been telling the truth.
