Disgusted of Darlaston
Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you’ll be aware of the media hysteria over the windows at Darlaston swimming pool, which our masters in the press would have us believe were blacked out in an attempt to placate muslim swimmers.
Like most things in the printed press, there seems to have been an agenda at work here. The story started a week ago in the Express & Star, which went to town with a shrill story which was subsequently lifted (nice to see role reversal for a change…) by the middlebrow tabloids. The good old E&S deserves a particular raspberry in all this, as it never misses a chance to half-report a story if it can possibly foster community devision. Never let the facts get in the way, chaps, even if it does make you look like scumbags…
