Shannon Matthews Coverage

They might as well cite a weegie board. But, of course, it's in The Sun ! It MUST be true!

Well it is true, isint it?

One of the rarest occurrences in history, but it was true!

But the problem I have is that The Sun can't be considered the most reliable of sources. Therefore a story shouldn't be based entirely on what it published, which is the impression I get from the posts here.

Crikey somebody's in a good mood today.

What makes you say that? Do you ever read it, or are you just making assumptions?

Ouija board.... 'oui' - the french for yes and 'ja' - the German for yes

Or the Scottish version...

How do you make a Ouija board? Take away his Buckfast.

Guaranteed at least 90% of you won't know what I'm on about...

I've not heard that one before.

I know!!!

Nice one, PCUK!

BBC News is reporting that Karen Matthews has been charged with child neglect and perverting the course of justice

You mean Karen Matthews? Then again with all the twists and turns it wouldn't surprise me...

Oh dear, what a sad development. It was rather too late for the 8pm 'dumbed-down-news' on BBC One, but no doubt will get some coverage on the Ten.

Of course, there are unconfirmed reports that the ruse was for money out of the Maddie fund. Whether they are true or not, or whether anything illegal has been done, raises the question of heavy media involvement in cases such as these as it may lead to people thinking of ways to abuse public opinion.

The juxtaposition of the Portuguese Police asking the McCanns to return to Portugal for a 're-enactment' is rather unfortunate.
