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

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

Indeed

Mudoch will fly in this weekend to as he is "deeply concerned that the campaign against his company led by the Mumsnet website and the Church of England"

Fuck me. 1500 posts are capable of bringing down a billionaire operation!!!!! Who would have thought it?

Or perhaps.... it's the UK in general, bloggers, twitterers, facebookers, decent journalists and decent people voting with their wallet and the like who are united in condemnation of his vile empire. Mumsnet is fab of course, who can doubt that!

But maybe then, good ladies of Islington, we can do somefink about removing the red red shoes of the Wicked Witch of the Sun?

"deeply concerned that the campaign against his company led by the Mumsnet website and the Church of England"

Oh for fuck's sake

What a pathetic old bastard.The emperors new clothes have completely disintegrated.

when did the CoE get involved?

"deeply concerned that the campaign against his company led by the Mumsnet website and the Church of England"

Paul Mullen seems to be an entirely objectionable individual..... Shouldn't be surprised.

Well I hope he read my posts about what it feels like to have your dead child's stuff messed with.

Not that the old git would feel a whit of remorse.

How odd that he mentions Mumsnet and the CoE (cripes I am a member of both) but leaves out Facebook and Twitter. Hardly fair on all those cyber warriors wearing their fingers to the bone over the last week.

He's decided to try to whip up feeling against women with the MN bit and from those who are opposed to religion in an attempt to get everyone arguing amongst themselves to deflect the focus on NI.

I think RM has confused Mumsnet with the Mother's Union.

but mumsnet and the church

thats his excuse???

Yep, far more reasonable to suggest MN and the church have caused the problems, rather than his own company breaking the law and forgetting about these little things like morals.

So now, who has a good recipe for toad in the hole?

Well things aren't going to plan fit him are they, he would have got away with it if it wasn't for us meddling women (sorry, have watched too much Scooby Doo)

milly dowlers family and hugh grant are meeting clegg on monday

Err, this is getting a bit surreal now. Does RM seriously think we have that much influence? Or are NI trying to pin this on the Guardian through its connection with Justine? It's all got a bit weird.

i'm starting to think that too franke

why is the end on notw being treated like its something sad, yet we've been told 'there is worst to come?'

The very idea that RM has the faintest idea that Mumsnet even exists is laughable...

the mumsnet bit isn't in quotes so who knows if he actually thinks that?

(or if the writers just thought it made a better story )

I am

Does RM really think, what with FB and Twitter and goodness knows how many other websites and forums, that our little thread was the sole reason (along with the C of E ? what ?!) that the NOTW has ended ?

If that's the case, why is RB telling (now ex) NOTW staff that there is "worse to come" ?

Have a feeling the Police have a very hard job on their hands though, trying to find any evidence to actually charge anyone with anything.

And I am not sad at all that the NOTW has ended.

And I do wryly smile at the thought of Milly's parents meeting 'the Deputy PM' on Monday, for what purpose ?

What will he do, exactly ? Apologise ?

Oooh, it makes me .

very surreal.

the campaign against the bskyb bid started a long time before mumsnet got involved.
