oh my god I'm absolutley astounded at this.One thing baffels me about the whole freedom of speech on the internet debate.
How come I or anyone else is able to look at dangerous websites,be it promoting eating disorders,buying drugs that have been banned in this country,instructions on how to make dangerous weapons,pictures of children being abused etc etc but we are not allowed to have an opinion that may upset someone else be it positive or negative.
i am able to freely give my positive or negative opinion in everyday life to whomever I choose...why should the internet be any different.For goodness sake I thought Great Britain had moved out of the Dark Ages.

Just seen this. Am quite appalled.

I'm not in the UK but wondering whether it might be any use contacting any people or organisations over here about this.

phew, taken me TWO hours to read this thread from my lunch hour! (Albiet it inbetween feeding DD!)

Still about this.

I emailed Breakfast (BBC) telly, remember them doing something a few weeks back about how the internet can help mothers make friends get help etc etc.

Still can't believe what's going off though.

Told my mum, she said "who the hell is she?" (not up on parenting guru's unless they're my grandma!) so I told her and I obviously cant post the reply.

And I googled blogged earlier and about wet myself laughing over a personal website that had been set up (now a member of mumsnet) and I LMAO re their title version of a certain book.

Aw, love the load from Bounty and BMC who have come over to offer support.

Any techie types know how to identify no-body's ISP? After all, if she can hassle ours, we should be talking to hers, surely?

love MP;s last line in that post!!

morningpaper · 07/08/2006 20:22

Damn it. Here I am struggling with mastitis and I am being quoted by the national media and having to get to grips with the finer points of defamation law. Actually I'm starting to wonder whether this is all part of my mastitis-induced fever delirium...

I'll try again.
