Burns in Republican Shock!
Another contender for the How Shit is Your Media series, this story slips into its own, just.
News is thin on the ground this time of year - excepting of course the odd bit of ethic cleansing. But the Britpress always goes all Jocktastic around Hogmanay.
Yesterday the Guardian splashed a whole page (!) on Jockoland with the exclusive story that Robert Burns (a poet) was a republican, and a democrat too!
What next? Neruda exposed as poet with 'an interest in romance'? Study explores 'Roger McGough - the Mersey connection'? Or Buckowski, was he a secret boozer?
