that is such a good point, lil. it is frightening, isn't it? christ, imagine if that was our families...
and i have explained it, LL, on another thread. at 1pm today. haychee has answered that thread (most bizarrely i should say) so it is Quite Clear that she has ignored it in order to further her own trouble-making ends.

haychee, can i just clarify something about the thread i started? the 'silence' for some of us had been going on from some of us for four months, since Blu's boycott thread.
my thread was a way of reaffirming our distaste for these poxy little half-witted 'news' threads, that's all, not a commmitment to remaining silent forever on the subject.
MNHQ has made it perfectly clear that they think the thing to do is argue the case, so for some people That Changes Things, okay?
seriously, people who get hung up about the whole 'hypocrisy' thing just remind me of Jade Goody's spittle-flecked shouting of 'I HATE LIAHS' while remaining violently unwilling to address her own shortcomings.
i personally have no issue with news stories being discussed, but if your definition of 'news' owes more to Sky News and the Daily Mail than the official statements of the Portuguese police, then i just despair... "
