Why did you remove this post? I thought what you wrote was a runner for Post Of The Year 2006.

I think it's disgusting! Has anyone seen the front page of the Sun today? Sick and typical of Britain's vile tabloid press.

Haha, have they scraped contempt rule or are they just taking the p***?!


For a paper that employs the likes of Gaunt & Clarkson as columnists, are you really surprised!

And don't start the Scousers on Kelvin Mckenzie, if you've been reading recent reports.

(I think the info I saw was on George Galloway's web site!)

I never know what to make of Mr McKenzie, IMO he's either a right igronant **** or just very right. For instance he was a guest on Mrs O's ITV programme a couple of months back and gave Kerry Katona a damn good talking to about her book and thought exactly what I do about the woman (which I won't discuss here as we'd probably be sued) although the audience and Mrs O didn't agree with him.

But on the same level, I don't know what to make of his comments on the Hillsborough disaster or Northerners in general.

It's his paper though that is largely responsible for the inflated status Kerry Katona and the likes are given by the media.

The second arrested man has been charged, whilst the first has been released on police bail. The press have been reminded to take care in reporting.

And subsequently the man first to be arrested has his life in ruins thanks to the media coverage.

Good God Charlie .... really? Thanks for telling us that.... I mean, it's not like it's on any other media outlet?

Oh shut up - it is pertinent to the earlier discussions in the thread about how sensible or otherwise the media coverage of the arrested persons was in advance of charges being brought or people being bailed/released.

... and this is wher everything on it is just brushed under the carpet. He's on bail though, so it'll be interesting to see what the outcome of that is and then what legal action he'll take for those that that published his details.

I suspect this story will run alot from now on in my local paper. The second mans ex-wife lives in my town. She now has no legs after having Meningitis in 1997.

Strange now the police won't name the first man, though everyone else has!

They seem to be naming the second man, but not showing his image on the news tonight.
