C4 and BBC1 did good jobs - they managed to package the issue of nobody's methods together with the issue of freedom of speech and mums giving each other advice. I can't believe the lawyer's response. Justine - fantastic job - the bit with you feeding your lo is fab! Interesting that no-one considers people who fire rockets at Lebanon terrorists. perhaps the govt of Israel might consider that defamatory....

Superb professional response MNHQ. Not holding back either. So glad you used mp's apology. Well done Justine!

munz · 09/08/2006 08:41

but we have our own discalimed stating that MN isn't liable??

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 09/08/2006 08:40

indeed Freckle - we do have a thread title 'campaign updates' - but it's about the campaign to get the law changed not against anyone one individual

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 09/08/2006 08:39

here MP

Freckle · 09/08/2006 08:39

And she still doesn't address the fact that she has a disclaimer on her own website absolving her from all liability for anything posted by users/members, yet seeks to hold MN liable for everything we post.

And her use of the word "campaign" shows perhaps a little paranoia.

What have I missed

Update me

ZippiZapata · 09/08/2006 08:33

Brilliant

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 09/08/2006 08:30

BTW - fantastic response from MN

HRHQueenOfQuotes · 09/08/2006 08:29

just loling at the statement from FA - (not the football people LOL).

And "ITEM" a "PUBLICATION" - anyone would think MP published a huge thread on the subject

CountessPanina · 09/08/2006 08:25

fantastic

I am so proud!

flashingnose · 09/08/2006 08:24

Oh I so hope MP's statement gets picked up by the papers

edam · 09/08/2006 08:22

Fab response Justine. The other statement is manifestly rubbish - the world and his wife have seen the letter in which she ordered the ISP to take down MN.

mummydear · 09/08/2006 08:04

Just looked at the repsonses from both sides. A bit of backtracking , perhpas didn't expect this kind of response from mothers who struggle to raise children without spending ££££ on guru books and have no common sense between them.

Well done Justine and Mumsnet .

TutterOtsky · 09/08/2006 08:02

great response - really hope it gets picked up again by the media

tigermoth · 09/08/2006 07:44

Justine, great response. The more statements you put out, the stronger mumsnet's position looks - and it started off in a hugely strong position anyway (IMO of course).

CitizenFranny · 09/08/2006 07:41

Lovely stuff

WWWLutherKing · 09/08/2006 07:40

Wot, it just never happened? I've got deja vu So is that confirmation that she is NOT going to close mumsnet? And btw, mumsnet HAVE met all her demands haven't they? (except the one for large amounts of cash)

is there anything in the press today?!

CaligulaCorday · 09/08/2006 07:35

Bloody brilliant. So barbed.

The words "shoot" and "foot" also spring to mind.

PMSL at MorningPaper's apology. Too funny.

LadyTophamHatt · 09/08/2006 07:34

Oh the joy...the utterly and delightful joy!
