So, you might not have noticed there’s this whole EU Referendum thing going on!
Yeah, I know. There’s been nothing in the newspapers about it. Or in the News bulletins; like every bulletin, on every channel, every half hour…..
Just when you thought World Politics was all about Syria and the American Presidential race, somebody puts a coin in the Referendum machine and presses the big Media Frenzy button. Suddenly every Politician feels compelled to push himself forward for interview. And every bastion of our twenty-first century life, from Facebook to a quiet lunch-hour at the pub, is subject to strongly held (though usually ill-informed) opinions.
In contrast to this, it is the responsibility of every Third Millennium Man to keep himself well-informed when it comes to matters of this nature. This is not like the British General Election – you know the deal, where the population think they are voting for a Prime Minister when they’re voting for a local MP, and it doesn’t matter in the slightest who is in charge as unelected bureaucrats decide everything anyway. This Referendum is a big deal and will affect generations to come. We the British public have got just one chance at this, so we’d better get it right.
So face front and pay attention. We are going to filter out as much of the noise as we can, just for you, so you the Third Millennium Man can consciously make an informed choice.
