New York
‘The City of London is hiding the world’s stolen money’, screams a Bagel Times headline, as bogus a message as that caricature of a newspaper’s other examples of anti-white, anti-cop, anti-male and anti-Conservative platforms. (‘Bid the binary goodbye’ is another pearl.) Not that anyone any longer takes the Bagel Times seriously since it decided that whites are very bad people. Still, I found it amusing that London is responsible for the shame of the Pandora Papers, when most of the miscreants involved are Third World dictators and eastern oligarchs.
Never mind. A newspaper that consistently shades the facts to suit its agenda — even book reviews are assigned to well known haters of the subject reviewed — is not to be taken seriously, and it’s not, but as I’m travelling and feeling good, I will for the second week running defend the very rich.
