Long stories cut short

Peeping over the red head's shoulder;
man was nagged for thirty years.
Clerical assistant looks much older,
but eager to read about his peers.

Doctor doctor, I've an awful boyfriend
just doesn't want to make love to me.
Can you help me? I live in Southend,
This and other irrelevancies.

Long stories cut short are what you read
in the Daily Mirror, Star and the Sun.
Is it propaganda? Or petty slander?
I guess you can't please everyone.

If you don't mind, it doesn't matter,
you can always buy the Daily Express.
Can eleven pence a day be the price of freedom?
It is according to the British press.
