paper round

morning,

this is a quick roundup of stories in some of today's main national press that interested/irritated me (as well as a review of breakfast "news") although i cannot bring myself to read the mirror so i cannot comment on it!

times: good coverage of the deficit problem and the trouble ahead for brown. some of the comments show that there are still a bunch of idiots who think he is "doing the right thing" and clinging to the letter in the FT from 60 economists as evidence - how many of the 60 predicted the mess we would be in now?

also reports on a london school who have ten students visiting mrs obama - from the pictures i have to say they do not look like they represent the ethnic make-up of the uk - perhaps quotas should have been used?

telegraph: good article by jeff randall as usual but otherwise lots of celebrity news!

guardian: bizzare editorial on the falklands - very surprised for such a patriotic newspaper to ...oh!

daily mail: brown going to call an april election? plenty on the falklands. coincidence?

the sun: harriet harman pressured wathdog to cover up expenses - she is having a blinding week!

sky news: irritating emphasis on the letter from 60 economists as if what they say is absolute fact followed by a story about brown warning that "right wing" parties want to destroy the economy because they hate government. no mention of deficit issues.....

bbc breakfast: presenters cock-a-hoop over the letter from the 60 economists etc. good performance by andrew lansley about "death-tax". did not let the labour shill presenter drive him down a certain route. just listening to andy burnham now actually being given a more difficult time then i expected - waiting for some campbells tinned tears moment - perhaps "but my wife will leave me if the tories get in.." be careful of that mascara andy.
