The Sun on Sunday lied about me last week. Have they learned nothing?
"Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but it's still the same fecund bone-yard of gossip, poison and lies.
Rupert Murdoch with the first issue of the Sun on Sunday.
The Sun on Sunday, which is of course the News of the World with a different hat on, lied about me last week.
In the general scheme of things, the crumbling economy, the savaged environment, the treacherous, inept, deceitful politicians that govern us, the corrupt corporations that exploit us, it might not seem like a big deal. That's because it isn't to anyone, except me or my girlfriend. The pain, disruption and distress, that the Sun inflicted by falsely claiming that I cheated on my girlfriend, in the context of such awesome corruption, is a pale liver-spot on the back of Murdoch's glabrous claw. Still though, it's a tiny part of the demon's dermatology and as such, connected to all the other pestilence. Here's how."

Sometimes Our Research Surprises Us - David Yelland
January 20, 2011
Murderers and paedophiles are still people
"I want you to put yourself in what might be a difficult position. Imagine a parallel universe where you are you in every way, except, suddenly, you find yourself having impure thoughts about children.
Lucky for you, in that universe, Britain is a tolerant and understanding country which punishes people for their actions rather than demonising them for their thoughts. You have the confidence to admit your thoughts to friends and, if necessary, psychological professionals. You can work through your issues in a positive, constructive way and continue to lead a normal life. Wonderful."
http://theboar.org/2011/01/20/murderers-and-paedophiles-are-still-people/#.UphUAlMd4YY
We going to feature David Yelland (editor of The Sun, 1998-2003), after hearing his , sometimes laughable, if sometimes honest, recent thoughts ... until, we found, it appears, that he has a conscience and some knowledge ...
"I was inspired to think about this over Easter. Travelling in and out of London every day, I read a lot of the _Evening Standard_ – hey, it’s free, I’m a student. One evening, the paper featured an interview with former _Sun_ editor David Yelland. The primary focus of the piece was Yelland’s alcoholism in the job. While this was fascinating, one section interested me in particular: “I couldn’t have edited the _Sun_ sober … I was having to judge people, even people like murderers or paedophiles, for example — and these people are not as different from the rest of us as we’d like to think.”"

Comment:
You - almost the sole reason for this whole process.
You - law-breakers and slippery politician-manipulating, police-paying, exploiting, fraudsters.
You - lying, disinforming, prejudiced and persecuting, intellectual deficients, who could not investigate, with anything like ethics or sufficient knowledge, even when you were offered your pieces of silver to do so.
'Press' freedom will go on (but, then, we are here now, so who really needs it?) - it will just leave dangerous dinosaurs, such as You, in the gutter, where you have always rightly-belonged - hopefully, to be washed away, forever.

Little More We Can Say - "Trapped"
"Trap ... our man Stinson Hunter poses as girl" - Nick Francis, The Sun, 2013
https://twitter.com/stinsonxhunter
http://fb.me/2pBGNWX5g (page not found)
Comment:
Stinson, we could post pictures, of the tragic Mr S, just to remind you (and your idiot thralls and profit-mongers) of your 'work' and what it has led to. With a little more effort, we could tell you about his family and all the good he has done (and would do) for society.
This was only a matter of time.
You have no understanding of the psychology of these situations and issues. That is because you are a clueless amateur.
You let your personal agenda, and need for personal fame and profit, override your humanity and judgement.
Now you (and yours) have to live with it - forever; good luck with that.
*****
Our sincere condolences, to Mr S's family and friends.

Whatever happened to the human rights of that baby and the human rights of the public (other children) to being safe and protected from harm? Why do these monsters count more than innocent children? There is no justice any longer, if I were the mother of that baby I'd get my own justice for my baby and children all over the country.
All child abusers should be sterilised at the very least."

Operation Elveden: Sun journalists held
"Police officer also arrested as part of investigation into alleged inappropriate payments to public officials in exchange for stories
Two Sun journalists, including the paper's West country correspondent, were arrested on Wednesday by police investigating allegations of inappropriate payments to public officials.
Scotland Yard said it had detained three individuals in dawn raids, including a 51-year-old journalist who was arrested at his home in Bristol on suspicion of conspiracy to corrupt and conspiracy to cause misconduct in a public office. It is understood this is John Coles, the Sun's West Country correspondent.
The second journalist was described as a 32-year-old working for the tabloid, believed to be reporter Tom Wells. He was arrested at his house in south-east London by officers working on Operation Elveden, the Metropolitan police's inquiry into payments to police, prison officers and other public officials in exchange for stories."

Warwickshire Police 'open justice' row after charged officer not named
"A police force appeared to abandon the concept of open justice tonight when it refused to name a suspect charged with theft after quietly changing its policy.
Warwickshire Police said the policy was “recently” introduced in the wake of the Leveson inquiry into press standards.
Warwickshire Police declined to name a retired officer who was charged with stealing £113,000 from the constabulary's former headquarters in Leek Wooton.
Critics attacked the development, understood to be the first such move by any police force in the country, arguing it undermined the UK's principle of open justice."

The Original Evidence Of Victims [Complainants] Who Came Forward
April 13, 2013
Trawling the Shallows
"The Internet has correctly been concerned at what has been perceived as the loss of a ‘right’. The proposals by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) to refuse to release the names of people they arrest in the course of criminal investigations. The proposal has been condemned as secret justice and produced angry responses from all who claim to support ‘freedom of speech’. The ‘Leveson effect’ has duly shouldered the mantle of blame.
It seems to have escaped their notice that the ‘right’ to know the name of those arrested has never existed. 20 odd years ago, the Queen’s Bench Divisional Court in R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Westminster Press Ltd [1991] [The Times, 18 December 1991] ruled that the media has no automatic right to be informed by the police of the name of a person who is under investigation or who has been charged by a criminal offence.
It has, of course, been the case for many years that the Police choose to ignore the fact that they don’t have to give names to the media – it can be useful to them to do so for many reasons. It is noticeable that in the current furore, the Sun, from atop their high moral horse, have listed a series of sexual crimes against children which came to light after arrests were made public. It quotes one of 80 victims to call the police after “Black Cab” rapist Jon Worboys (pictured above) was arrested. He was jailed in 2009.
The 24-year-old student said: “This will lead to guilty men walking free. I only knew about Worboy’s arrest because I saw his name in the paper. How am I and hundreds of others supposed to know police are looking into an individual if it is not publicised?”[eh, when he is jailed?]
Other cases cited by The Sun include a swimming coach jailed in 2006 for sexually abusing children as young as five. It notes that four victims came forward after reading of arrests in their local papers. [ditto]
This is appealing to the current paedo-panic where ‘trawling’, as it is known, can have a dramatic effect on a subsequent charge – using the ‘similar allegations’ method of corroborating evidence. Advertising the name of an arrestee, particularly if well known or in a previously pivotal position in a child’s life, can bring forward other ‘children’, even when now middle aged, to give evidence. Or, as Peter Watt of the NSPCC told The Sun: ‘When a suspect in a child abuse case is named it gives more victims the confidence to speak out and helps ensure that justice is done.’" [or, opportunity for a little attention-seeking and a quick buck]

Why The PCC Is Soon To Be Defunct (Thankfully)
2:11PM GMT 26 Mar 2013
Julie Burchill entitled to 'offend' transsexuals, press watchdog rules
"Julie Burchill was entitled to write a controversial article about transsexuals because she was expressing her opinion, the Press Complaints Commission has ruled.
Burchill, pictured, launched the attack in defence of her friend and fellow writer Suzanne Moore.
The newspaper watchdog rejected claims that the columnist's description of transgender people as "d**** in chicks' clothing" and “a bunch of bed-wetters in bad wigs” was inaccurate or misleading.
It was “clear” from the tone of the article that Miss Burchill was using the phrases to voice her views, the regulator said, adding that the comments were "clearly distinguished from fact"
The article did not breach the PCC’s rules on discrimination because Miss Burchill did not single out any individuals, but referred “to transgender people generally", a ruling by the watchdog said."
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9954733/Julie-Burchill-entitled-to-offend-transsexuals-press-watchdog-rules.html
Comment:
Few support freedom of speech, as much as we do, but, it is such inconsistencies, in logic, interpretation and decision (this stems from the PCC's media-protecting 'Code of Practice'), which has led to their downfall.
In doing so, due to their past ineffectiveness (in particular, against bullying, corrupt, lying and dangerous 'journalists'), this has led to the post-Leveson cull, which the media are now whining about; the PCC is, predominantly, the media and their associates.
Get them out, as soon as is possible, so that a consistent, agreed and evidenced-based approach may be adopted.

Opinion divided over government response to Leveson inquiry
"The government yesterday unveiled plans for press regulation in the UK on the back of Lord Justice Leveson’s inquiry into press standards.
The plan announced by the government for a Royal Charter – which is an edict handed down by the monarch as opposed to a law created by parliament or handed down by a judge – has fiercely divided opinion, both in parliament as well as among the commentariat."
