God, those NoW journos were utter scum weren't they?

[headfairy]

apparently by deleting Milly's messages her family still had some hope that she might still be alive

Is Alton still a member of the Press Complaints Commission?

Wonderful as it is to see the back of the NOTW it's peanuts to the likes of Murdoch. What matters to him is the BSkyB deal. He thinks throw us the crumbs (NOTW) and all will be well. So let's see massive pressure to prevent that deal going through....

Just watched the clip.

Roger Alton, Joint Executive Editor of The Times said:

"The comfortable Mother's of Mumsnet, sitting down to their Fairtrade tea now and organic shortbread biscuits I hope they're very pleased with the Twitter campaign they organised getting to the advertisers saying don't advertise in the NOTW, they have done in a sense as much as anybody to close this paper and put more than 200 reporters photographers editors and young people just starting their career. These yummy mummies have done as much as anybody else to put them out of work and I hope they're feeling pleased with themselves."

How fucking dare you try to say that MNers have put people out of a job - what a truely truely shitty thing to say.

The fact you are so upset indicates that we have serious influence and that you are seriously pissed of about that - hence the contemptous dissmissive description of us as - you are running scared in case we turn our attention to The Times.

Any MNer in any doubt as to why they should boycott other elements of the News International Group - see above!

Alton was quite possibly drunk. I believe it is not unknown for him.

And he has some pretty interesting attitudes to women in general.

Andy Coulson released on bail.

Really ? They have nothing to charge him with yet ?

Times is a misogynistic piece of vileness. X read it 'nuff said

Ah, see he used to edit the Observer we-support-social-justice-now-eat-in-this-restaurant-that's-£110-a-head-for-lunch-wearing-a-skirt-costing-£360.

What a Jeremy!!

He says "there is a lot he would like to sat, but can't".

Hmmm.

Spill MissCavell.

*say, sorry

MissClavel sorry.

he certainly looked to be having trouble focusing on the camera

Yes come on MN

It was your crap mothering (frootshoots and Greggs-aplenty ) that caused these poor ickle journos to pay coppers and PIs to spill the beans. It's all your fault mothers... um cos, um, it is, and that's what the Greek myths say.................................

Oh for pity's sake. Couldn't someone have given him a coffee first ?

PS Mr Alton, my biscuits are not organic but are from fucking Aldi because I can't afford anything else from my miserly wage that I earn from working really hard doing something useful and not publishing witless drivel aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Um, don't want to say anything too specific.

But just ignore him, he will be loving this.

wow, Mumsnetters are powerful! If we killed the NOTW can we take Murdoch down now too please? Armed only with the simple sword of shortbread and the trusty shield of British fair trade tea...

Roger Alton thinks that "Pictures of semi-naked women basically make the world a better place".

am frankly both stunned and depressed that (at no cost to themselves) MN poster shave not hit the like button..

NOTW is not the problem
NI is
MN MUST get that

Roger Alton,for example.....

Roger Alton has seriously misjudged the mood of the nation if he thinks that NOTW closing is down to MN!

There are people at my place of work who know nothing of MN or politics or current affairs usually, who have spent the last couple of days trying to work out different ways of boycotting the whole NI group, eg Sky, The Sun, those advertisers who sat on the fence (yes you TESCO)

What an odious man he comes across as.

Tuning into Newsnight to watch Justine. Good luck Justine.

"will it change our buying habits etc etc" - yep totally boycotting all NI output.

Is Justine going to give us a secret signal - a packet of Pom Bears on the desk in front of her perhaps?!

Watching too

I am watching too. [hsmile]

I missed the intro and saw 2 mins later introducing some guests....no Justine, is she deffo on?

DH just pointed out that the poor photographers that Alton says MN have put out of work were never hired by NI. They do not hire photographers.
