Jingo Journalism

EDM number 1041 in 1995-96, proposed by Denis MacShane on 24/06/1996.

That this House deplores the frenzy of jingoistic, notably anti-German, nonsense in the tabloid press; and contrasts the hooligan atmosphere of some political and much press comment in recent weeks with the sporting enthusiasm of football fans who set a much better example of English fair-play than many an editor.

This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs.
