Election coverage: nausea.
Each election campaign a weak parody of the last. The click and whirr of the rhetorical machine. The gaudy baubles taken out each year at Xmas. The riffs and gestures of empty ritual. Changing of the guard.
Language hollowed out into noises (albeit the 'right noises'):
‘how it effects the lives of ordinary people… only making promises we can keep.. sums don’t add up.. I am answering the question, Jeremy… the British people are sick and tired… we want to see a Britain where… I’m not going to give you spin and sound bites’
Why this farce day after day?
