The Free Press

This week sees twenty-years pass since the massacre of anti-authoritarian [not pro-democracy] demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square.

According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF) - many locals are not even aware there is anything to commemorate.

"The information blackout has been enforced so effectively for 20 years that most young Chinese are completely unaware of this major event".

RSF could also write an article about the anonymous UK European Elections. It wouldn't take long. They could lift whole passages from the Tiananmen Square article.

It would read:

"The information blackout has been enforced so effectively for 20 years that most young Britons are completely unaware of this major event".

Apparently tomorrow, the fourth of June, we elect a new European Parliament.

Not that you would know it from our free press.
