The Daily Telegraph, Britain’s best selling broadsheet newspaper focused on the Lisbon Treaty today. Irish Republicans well used to the negative reporting of that paper won’t be surprised to hear that Sinn Fein are not mentioned once in the article which tells us that, “Despite every major political party backing the Yes campaign, support for a No vote is growing daily”.
The Eurosceptic Telegraph is not just censoring Sinn Fein’s role in the No Campaign, it is also disparaging of the whole referendum in that ‘British is best’ Torygraph way, that will for some sound at best patronising and more realistically just racist.
In an article titled “Irish ayes aren’t smiling”, Gordon Rayner writes that, “Having spent two years rebuilding the Treaty of Lisbon from the scrap parts of the defeated European Constitution, the Eurocrats can only watch as a learner driver takes the wheel of their juggernaut and drives it towards the edge of a cliff”.
