Blind side

Editing and history are a strange combination. Listening to the documents 'released' under the thirty year rule, about the political difficulties of the last  Labour government, the Message was very clear. 'Plus change'. The editing was so very careful you see. Stories which were actually rather unrelated, if taken in there full context, were juxtapose to make them appear to be the same (Cameron and Thatcher are rather different, but you would not of got it from the program). The Message was simple. Here we go again - this is the End of the Labour government  -which is of course a cheap story in itself. History is then made to appear  'current', and a plot line which the media have been pushing for the last three months or so,  made into almost into  'historical fact' in its own right.

 Problem of course is the very claim makes this ruth so much the more likely.
