As Paul Melly says; "Equal Acres Of Space Should Be Given To All Political Interests."
The idea from one of regulars here, that we should start a count down to the general elections was excellent. Indeed we are going to start one very soon.

Talking of preparations, the deputy chairman of the Standard Group Paul Melly had a meeting with senior staff this morning and announced that the editorial policy of the groups' main media outlets going into the general elections, namely The Standard newspaper and KTN was to give "equal acres of space to all political interests."

Luka is right, we need to count down and by the time we are done so many will be down and out. The count down will also be the abartoir of ideas because swear words will flow freely and dead horses will be flogged.
ReplyDeleteAnd aside. Can somebody tell me the difference between Jirongo and Karuri? Apart from trivial spelling and pronounciation plus their mother tongues of course. Only HONEST answers please as we count them down and out.
Thank you Chris for considering my request. Although politics is a serious matter(way too serious to have been left in the hands of our now exposed inept and absurd dishonourables MPs), for me it is also a game (Bwana Kalamari has expressed similar sentiment here time and again) I'm sure you yourself as well as some (if not all) of the other bloggers of Kumekucha feel the same way

Now that’s a smelly rat, right?
ReplyDeletewhen are the election any how?
