Dregs in charge?

If the letters page of your newspaper is full of readers saying there was no seismic swing to Labour in the Blackpool by-election if the number of votes their guy got was less than the Labour vote in the last general election, why do editors let their minions write this bullshit in the first place?
    Because that’s what was at the front of the paper on the day the result was announced, bullshit about the seismic swing when voters joined the Apathy Party in huge numbers and didn’t bother to get involved.
