First of all, congratulations to Martyn Bradbury for doing what the mainstream media has refused to do – debate the Treaty. Bradbury’s Working Group has many faults, not the least of which is its host’s seemingly inexhaustible capacity for bombast, but being afraid to bring diametrically opposed political players together for a good, old-fashioned debate isn’t one of them. Watching the Working Group’s lively exchanges instantly calls forth the question: Why can’t the mainstream media do this?
We’ll come to that but, before we do, it is only fair to review the debate itself.
