Tomorrow's fish and chip paper

Mike Smithson is a little unhappy about the governments controling of the use agenda today with the big story being the moves to force retailers to hide their displays of tobacco

For a demonstration of the power of the government to control the news agenda just look at today’s development with the planned ban on tobacco product displays in shops.
This is a relatively minor move that won’t come in for corner shops until 2013 - yet look at how much coverage this has attracted. There’s a bit of controversy there and its something else to go on the bulletins.
Meanwhile the Damian Green story will be tomorrow’s fish and chip paper.
