It's supposed to be threatening - continue advertising and bad stuff will happen to you.

really? Fuck me, i thought they'd be the last to go - run in the US by religious fanatics similar to Murdoch!
Good news, even Walmart c*nts are dropping them
So that leaves Marks and Spencer, Morrisons and of course Tesco of the big food retail chains?

I don't think it means "we are going to go round and kill your child's rabbit" rather that if they persist in advertising in the NOTW we will stop using their products or services. Which is a legitimate threat.
Honestly, I don't really care what happens to the News of the World, I mean they've already been hit pretty hard by this. I do care that it's properly investigated and explained how deep the involvement/ complicity of the police/ government was. Any sort of over the top campaign against the News of the World is frankly taking on a fairly easy target and damages the legitimacy of asking questions about the rest of it.
what kind of business pisses off there biggest customer
there's lots of people think they can get a bit of free PR out of this, lots of people got a reason to fuck over murdoch, lots more got a reason to suck up to him - this is just market shit playing out, capital will be stronger than ever
x factor for liberals

Sorry, I don't understand your point. Advertisers are NI's customers. Distributors are employed by NI. I'm not saying WHSmith shouldn't pull the plug, but for them to do so would cost them a lot of money. Pulling advertising from NOW actually saves companies money. It's a completely different kind of decision.

Fuck you Dave!
No it doesn't. The two go in tandom surely. Also going after the NOTW and NI will, hopefully, keep the whole issue in the public consciousness.

Just been listening to Martin 'Money saving expert' Lewis on 5 live as he wriggled and squirmed and failed to say whether or not he'd continue his notw column. I wonder how much they pay him.

Yes. I think that's the problem. You're all enjoying yourself enormously at the thought of hurting Murdoch and chums. Do any of you actually give a toss about the victims of the phone hacking, or are you just getting off on the Murdoch hate-frenzy?

I'd say that, in many ways, we are worse than the phone-hacking journalists.

The Murdoch empire and its malign hold over politics is taking a major, richly deserved and long overdue kicking. And this is kicking coming from ordinary, non-political people who are disgusted by what is being revealed. In addition it dips Cameron and the Met right into the shit as a brucie bonus.
Whats not to like?
I mean seriously - how is this anyhting other than something to be celebrated?
Of course their will be other media moguls and more police corruption and politicians will still be heaviuly influecned by right wing media and big corporations - but its an ongoing battle agasint power, corruption and tyranny and right now those forces are being pushed back.
