An ex-opposition party member and an ex-Conservative supporter walk into a virtual meeting space. They have met before, outside of the virtual world, and have shared a decades-long friendship.
Whilst cooking jacket potatoes, the ex-Conservative supporter, walking into the virtual meeting space, sends his friend a virtual message.
“Wouldn’t it be great if by law, newspaper vendors had to display their wares in properly titled sections.”
He knows the message has been read because there are two blue arrows. The ex-opposition party member begins to formulate a reply.
“We’d need something called a progressive government for that… don’t think that’s on the cards!”
The potatoes are going to take a long time, so the ex-conservative supporter carries on.
“Right-wing propaganda. That would contain the Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Spectator, and The Times.
Then you’d have comedy and entertainment, The Daily Express. The Sun would be under Sports and Entertainment.
Fuck. The News section would be empty.”
“I think it’s all right-wing propaganda. Apart from The Mirror, Guardian and The I.”
