Indeed, folks at our Government Comms can do better in selling hot air online

I understand the government is on a hiring spree of so-called keyboard warriors-the same force that fomented trouble in the last few months through well-oiled street protests-and marshalled them to post positive reviews of public projects.

This is welcome news, especially as the initiative creates opportunities for well-educated youth who are out of work. And it would serve the economy very well if such jobs are permanent and pensionable. That's as it should be, since the government needs good press at all times.
