Some of us would like to know if a certain politico will be banned, proper.

No rush.

We know you have a lot on your plate with ... stuff.

(I probably got two quotes mixed up in subject line. Don't panic! It's me not you. Am philistine. Italy is wasted on me. Not keen on art, prefer shopping.)

I really really want to emphasise how well everyone had done.

Guardian
Daily Mail
Telegraph

This is BIG coverage. It might not be all that we want. but it is bloody good going.

Let alone local press and media outlets.

Fucking fantastic.

O ffs. Munby was clear that the mother ought to be allowed to identify herself if she so wished.

The issue here is he NAMED ALL THE CHILDREN.

they had really distinctive possibly 'unique' names.

He is a nasty piece of work. What possible justification was there for naming a baby? Against a court order that said no one should name the baby?

He just didn't care. He wanted to get one over the Italian speakers on the thread.

Sadly it would seem no one else cares. The media just want to go for the 'posting while drunk' angle, and frankly that is the least of his crimes.

Again, the Telegraph piece only mentions 'the mother's name' and 'inadvertently' giving a uses NN and RL name Hmm

They are all copying from each other, aren't they? Grin

Lake, the bit strange is only when you try to access via a link to the story.

Zombie If they had pulled the story, shouldn't the message say 'address not found' when you try to click on the link? It seems like the server is under pressure, too many views lol

In the end, the same story has already been passed on to other papers and onlie outlets.

sadsqueaker · 02/01/2014 18:22

The Telegraph have picked it up too

Maily Telegraph linky

Comments are open...

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:21

well, that is interesting.

all good...if it has been pulled, hey, grist to the PR mill...just think what their commercial competitors will make of it?

SunshineOnACrappyDay · 02/01/2014 18:20

I've just seen the DM article. I fucking hate them.

Tigerbomb · 02/01/2014 18:19

The rest of the Birmingham Mail seems fine - I think they have pulled the article

IamtheZombie · 02/01/2014 18:19

Try accessing the Birmingham Mail via Google, not via one of the links to the story.

Lake, the bit strange is only when you try to access via a link to the story.

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:18

Its not pulled. Just some tech shite. No paper would go to press (paper or otherwise) unless they were confident of their piece.

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:16

good idea.

I am going to email Matt Chorley and ask why he put mother instead of children is his subheadings. But knowing what happens, is he prepared to challenge the subs thoughtless subheadings?

LakeDistrictBabe · 02/01/2014 18:16

At the Birmingham Mail a technical issue seems probable because it doesn't appear blank to me, just a bit 'strange'.

Tiredemma · 02/01/2014 18:15

as a council tax payer of Bham City Council etc etc

Tiredemma · 02/01/2014 18:14

im going to email them to ask why its been pulled

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:10

The key to fighting downplaying pronouncements is to rebut with decent satire, while also fighting the good fight.

PacificDogwood · 02/01/2014 18:10

The story was too fact-based to warrant pulling IMO - nothing unique in it

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:06

Let's wait and see.

Tiredemma · 02/01/2014 18:06

Im really pissed that the BHam mail has pulled the story.

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 18:01

TBH, it doesn't work that way. IF John Hemming has a hotline to the Owner of the Birmingham Mail, and has something on him, well, maybe.

I would think its a tech issue.

Spero · 02/01/2014 17:59

If anyone wants to express any disgust at the Daily Mail, may I kindly welcome you over here

Whatfun · 02/01/2014 17:56

Zombie, I wonder which multi millionaire could have such influence? Let me think......

MadameDefarge · 02/01/2014 17:55

look out for DM comments.

Spero · 02/01/2014 17:53

Ok, i am going to start a thread in In the News

IamtheZombie · 02/01/2014 17:53

The Birmingham Mail have pulled this morning's story. I accessed the paper via Google, did a search on JH and there are NO stories from today.

Someone must have been very persuasive...

DrankSangriaInThePark · 02/01/2014 17:51

I rather like the idea of the letter from Spero if you feel up to it. The press are all over this thread I imagine.....
