It is incredible really.
I mean, on one hand we have the idea of living in a western democracy, in which we are (supposedly) 'free'.
Yet a newspaper can openly threaten people for expressing their political beliefs. And that this is done completely openly.

Where is my mind?
No photo of an exhausted woman in a suit having somehow crammed a 45 hr working week in around her shoddy housekeeping, then.....

There is no love between us anymore.
The Mail indulges in a fantasy of the left winning in the 80s.
A world war 2 era Town Class cruiser, laid down in 1936 and sister to the Belfast moored in London Pool.
Not the 1971 built, Type 42 guided missile destroyer
The picture our patriotic friends use to illustrate this event?

Complains about inappropriate photos then does the decent thing and publishes them.

Quite a long article as well. Hasn't even gotten a short paragraph on the BEEB.
Didn't she give all profits to the French Church (or rather they took it) and when she came out as being gay the French press hounded her for being gay and eventually she took her own life?
Before I click that link I want to check it redirects to some sickening child pornography and not the fucking Mail.
hmm the Pete Townsend defence except it isn't one - time for plod to feel her collar.

Would you like to view sexually explicit images of child abuse, Amanda?
Yeah, sure. I could even say I am doing it for journalistic reasons and that it is in the public interest.
Brilliant!
Mind you, they did do this.
They rile up racist sentiment and then condemn the people who engage in it.

I'm no journalism expert, but I'd have thought that Platell's employers had some sort of duty of care to ensure that such activity was undertaken with the knowledge/consent of the relevant authorities. The "We asked.." part of the headline suggests that the corporation itself might face some sanction.

The thing is, the article is a complete fabrication. If you read some of the tweets by that paedo-cop (forgot his name) that grassed her up and the replies, it becomes clear that she hasn't seen any child abuse images anyway: she saw adult pornography where people were doing schoolgirl roleplay, etc.
But I thought in this country you can get done for viewing 'kiddy porn' even if they were over 18, if you believed it was kiddy porn and that was what you set out to do? I hope so as the fallout from a Mail journalist getting put on the Sex Offenders Register would be interesting to watch.

You'd need a third hand or an exceptionally large forehead to give the Platell piece the amount of 
it deserves. Classic example of 'not even wrong' approach to a complex issue. Along with the standard-issue pearl-clutching, scare-mongering, logic-leaping, lip-smacking prurience and fake 'outrage' it's also really exceptionally stupid. Ms Platell genuinely appears to believe that it's all basically Google's fault, that the UK (or other national government(s)) could and should control search engine results, and that if only our 'civilised nation' would just BAN THIS FILTH then there'd be no more paedos or murderers.

The relaxed ease with which the Mail strips away the humanity of anyone they don't like the look of is the same process abusers go through - the feelings of victims come secondary to their own agenda or gratification.
No wonder we're seeing so many right-wing celebrities being caught in the Yewtree net.

The Guardian is The Daily Mail for people who think they’re better than Daily Mail readers.
Both are running a closely comparable approach to reporting on the Bilderberg Conference:

What's with all these arrows?
Don't you get anything?
Or just nitpicking?I was using The Bilderburg issue(could have been another topic) to illustrate the similarity between two newspapers; one on the Right and one on the Left.
As I said upthread: "Both are running a closely comparable approach to reporting on the Bilderberg Conference":
