News that matters....
In the '20s and '30s it was common for BBC radio announcers to declare 'there is no news tonight. We will have some piano music instead'. (BBC Review of the Year 1930).
Such, however, is not the approach of Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq, and here is today's lead story: 'Church gets new digital clock'.

In the middle of the campaign when the good people of Hartlepool were about to vote on who should replace Peter Mandelson as their Westminster representative the headline in the local paper was "Local girl stung by wasp" - I kid you not I was there.
And we wonder why interest in politics has declined
Anon - Like it.
Time to haul out the ancient anecdote about the Aberdeen Press and Journal headlining the sinking of The Titanic as 'North East man lost at sea'.
Clearly the folks of Sermitsiaq 'live in interesting times'.......
