Prejudice mostly.
But also i dont see why "dirty mac" would let a`story like that go unchallenged......And as for Paul Foot......Sorry no i would never trust that man.....and before you ask......

So, "worthy" as in "you have to pay attention when reading" then!Wasnt there 2 mags called Lobster VP? only read a couple of copies always a bit too worthy for my liking whereas Scallywag was easier to read.
They probably covered the Kincora Scandal in greater depth than any other publication has, updating as new info emerges, over 3 decades, and yes, they named everyone whose name turned up in any investigations, because they made clear that they were investigating the "paedo ring" allegations from the standpoint of the allegations having been constructed by British intelligence to bring certain politicians and other ne'er do wells to heel. That said, they never downplayed any of the actual physical and sexual abuse that went on at the home, and that was covered up by the RUC because of McGrath's political connections.i didnt realise that Lobster had carried the story did they name "dirty mac" sorry cant name him im on irony fortnight....
Why are you scared of mentioning MacAlpine by name?
.
funny how your memory is suddenly 'improving'1 The story also exposed that the affair was well known amongst other tories who hushed it up. It also threw light on the extremely dodgy politics in Peterhouse Cambridge University and a certain proffesor.

Do tell.It also threw light on the extremely dodgy politics in Peterhouse Cambridge University and a certain proffesor.
LORD McALPINE: The Eighties, the sleaze wasn't just money - it was sexual and every sort of sleaze that anyone could lay their hands on.
For some maybe...
Kincora happened in the early to mid 1970s.
funny how your memory is suddenly 'improving'
So, basically, Scallywag reprinted some old disinformation regarding Kincora, and this makes it 'anti-establishment'.
Excuse me for not being convinced.
lol. Well, either that, or he was talking about something else entirely.
The thing is this is a thread about Private eye and whether its anti establishment....Now there are some like you who seem to believe it is and some like me who don't.
...Scallywag attacked not only the establishment over Diana...
You'll be telling us that the Daily Express isn't anti-establishment next"He shows in graphic detail that dangerous terrorist fanatics were out and about on the fateful night - and they had a life-long grudge against the Fayed family. To them, Princess Diana was an adulteress - little more than a whore. Entirely dispensable. But Regan also argues graphically that the murderers could not have planned it or got away with it without the tacit knowledge of, or even the backing and connivance of, the British Super-Establishment to whom Diana was equally dispensable.
Her threat to the super-mandarins, the courtiers, arms-dealers and the Church had become too much to ignore. She held the future king under her spell and guarded him from the clutches of the Palace Machine. This was unpardonable. "
genius stuff, no hatstands in evidence at all, oh no.
Printing any old bullshit is not being 'anti-establishment', its just printing bullshit.
many of their contributors have never been anywhere near oxbridge tho.
Well, some of them anyway.
And it was even more oxbridge before Hislop, yet had a much more anti-establishment image

Well since she obviously wasn't murdered and anybody who thinks she was is almost certainly a far right nutcase, who gives a shit?And what kind of evidence do you think they could have come up with if she was murdered?
Well since she obviously wasn't murdered and anybody who thinks she was is almost certainly a far right nutcase, who gives a shit?
Almost certainly so, yes.Anybody who thinks Diana was murdered is a far right nutcase.........erm.....
Almost certainly so, yes.
Carry on like that your going to make yourself look as stupid as belboid.
?Seriously, who outside of the readers of right of sensible publications like the Daily Express actually believes this "Princess Diana was murdered!!!11" crap?
Great stuff Lord Belboid.
rarely these days. I used to read it every week, but it started to get on my tits. Even the worthwhile campaigning is just a bit too smug these days
And what kind of evidence do you think they could have come up with if she was murdered?
probably evidence that she was murdered?
Yeah cos obviously that would be so so easy to come up with if she was.
