Bringing A Nation Into Line
| By Tisaranee Gunasekara
“It used to be that reading papers - Made you stupid and even crazy
One wrote ‘Bravo! Very good!’ - Another ‘Pfui!’ The truth stayed hazy.
Now you can save your dime - If you read one, you know what’s right,
They say the same thing every time - Brought into line, brought into line.”
A state-endorsed song in Nazi Germany
( April 17, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Karim Nabbach is a fortunate man. He will suffer no ill consequences, even though he has incurred the wrath of Kim Jong Un. Mr. Nabbach, a barber by profession, advertised discounted haircuts in a poster, adorned with a picture of the North Korean leader and titled, ‘Bad Hair Day?’ But Mr. Nabbach is safe. He lives in London. All North Korea can do is to formerly request the British to take “necessary action to stop the provocation” .
