British bombscares get more attention than British elections.
Sky News report on US media coverage of Britain, Friday 25 April.
It is only two years since Lowry whipped the country into a frenzy with talk of cosy cartels in the public sector and alleged surveillance of him by unnamed businessmen with Fianna Fáil connections.

They started dancing on his head, and the police were sitting there in their jeeps... They kept shouting: ``Die you Fenian bastard.''
Cousin of the Portadown man attacked by 30 loyalists on Sunday morning, describing the attack while the RUC looked on, Irish News, Monday 28 April.
Partitionist intervention.
Gerry Adams on Proinsias De Rossa's call for nationalists not to vote for Sinn Féin.
I refute absolutely that we have been involved in smear tactics - the SDLP made the same allegations in 1992 and our position is that loyalists can vote for anyone they want to... But the SDLP shouldn't be denying they want and need loyalist votes to win the West Belfast seat.
Sinn Féin's Richard McAuley on SDLP claims the party is involved in a smear campaign against the SDLP.
Peace was declared unconditionally by the IRA on the public understanding that after a few months and post-Framework Document Sinn Féin would be admitted to talks. The Taoiseach permitted a fatal prevarication by the British on that commitment, using the red herring of decommissioning.
Bertie Ahern at a Fianna Fáil's commemoration, Irish Times, Monday 28 April.
72 hours to save the union.
John Major after his whistle stop tour of the countries of the `United Kingdom' on Monday 28 April.
