The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

This story neatly
illustrates the difference between the mainstream media and the blogosphere. It has been as plain as the nose on Brown’s face for many years that he had ripped off the nation’s pension funds with Maxwellian abandon. Bloggers, therefore, are relatively uninterested in what is – for us – an old story.

Conventional journalists and columnists however are beside themselves with excitement at documentary evidence that Brown understood and intended his heist. We can only conclude that they would have been happier to be impoverished by an idiot than a rogue. For myself, I am happy to allow the word "Socialist" to cover both possibilities.
