Getting ahead of ourselves

Has anyone else noticed that in the morning news, we’re now being told what will happen that day? David Cameron will apparantly be proposing that The energy tax on business should be replaced with a levy focused on cutting use of carbon fuels in a speech he’s due to make later today. (more)

How can it be news until he’s actually done it? Once it is news, why would he bother doing it at all? Perhaps if you break the news before it actually happens, you can stop it happening if there’s bad public opinion to the news that hasn’t happened yet. The mind boggles.

If I’m going to be told what’s going to happen, then I’d rather it was something useful, like who’s going to win the world cup. Then I can stick a monkey on it.
