Just to continue this theme of priorities in the media. While there was major trouble in Iraq yesterday which could well be spreading to the British Sector and while it appears that (our) government has now abdicated it's primary purpose - the defence of our frontiers - what does our Tabloid press have to say?

Very little. Instead, we have 4 or 6 pages on Beckham playing away from home. I am just sick and tired of seeing lots of pictures and newsprint on the antics of this "celebrity couple".

As far as I am concerned, my neighbour's cat has more musical talent (and also looks better) than Mrs Beckham. And Given Mr Beckham's rather limited footballing skills, I think the same cat could probably play better than him giving a morning's coaching.
