The Media and the Loony Left
The right-wing press has skilfully created an image of left-wing councils in London as dangerously extreme and irrational.
This film, made by the Goldsmiths' College Media Research Group, shows that this campaign against the 'loony Left' has been based on a significant number of half truths, untruths and even fabrications. They argue that the press has helped undermine local democracy by providing apparent justification for
Government proposals that will seriously reduce the power of all local councils, of whatever party.

It's way past opening time at Blue Moon, but the new Maddie is not to everyone's liking and it seems that she's back with the old David; but isn't his reaction to her shattering news a little, well, strange?
