Morning everyone,
We're overwhelmed by your fabulous support and energy - you've been amazing. Think we're not doing too badly at getting this freedom of speech issue out there don't you? (We particularly enjoyed MorningPaper's retraction.)
Look out for BBC, ITV lunchtime news, C4 at noon and London Tonight today.
And thanks to everyone who's written to us. I'm really sorry that we've not been able to get back to everyone individually - it's only me and Olivia here this week as all the gals are off sunning themselves (great timing!) (Am sending regular text updates though) - and as you can imagine we're a bit up to our eyes.
Many folks have asked what they can do to help further.While we are extremely anxious that this should not become a campaign against Gina Ford, if you have strong views on the law and freedom of speech issues involved you could write to: other websites, your newspaper, your MP, the Law Commission, the Lord Chancellor, the Home Secretary.
A Mumsnetter, wannaBe1974, has also set up a petition here . We'll be in touch if we think there are any other useful things you may be able to do to help.

Thanks again for all your support.
MNHQ

Oops, sorry tech.

JessaFreedomFighter · 08/08/2006 19:14

agree, need a LOUD thread to get all attention

VoluptuaGoodshag · 08/08/2006 19:15

Hang on in there Mumsnet - so far you're all smelling of roses and it's the 'other' party whose reputation doesn't look too clever.

Tech · 08/08/2006 19:23

I don't think discussing the basic facts of the situation is problematic. It is a matter of fact and is in the public domain. However, please don't personalize the issue.

Can I just reiterate that a comment about someone is still a comment about someone even if you say it's about or . All these things have to be read in context.

Regards,
Tech

JessaFreedomFighter · 08/08/2006 19:27

Soooooo
we can say
MN on such and such a radio station
and
Justine did well
but make any comments about what sort of impact any of this could be having...?

Sorry tech...we all really really mean well and are really revved up (is it obvious) about this...so think we need clarity about what the limits are...

nicnack2 · 08/08/2006 19:27

listen to some of the radio2 at work. wonder if that will be the next target . imagine no togmister in the morning due to censorship. Good on mnhq

Here's another one paying CAT fee in show of support. I've also been through and clicked all the adverts I could find on the site. Hope it helps .

MNHQ, you're doing a fantastic job (under extreme circumstances too!)

VeniVidiVickiQV · 08/08/2006 20:14

Have just subscribed to CAT

is there a fund yet?

nappybaglady · 08/08/2006 20:42

Can't believe the heavy handed way MN is being treated. Feel very sorry for MNHQ. Will add my name to petitions and to a letter to Random House publishers.

Feel that there is much more to say but will respect MNs need for us to hold back.

Well done Justine, tech and the rest of the gang

just wanna add my support as well, u guys on here have been a real rock for me as a first time mum, i've had so much reassurance. I'd be more than happy to pay money into a fighting the cause type thing, (can it do paypal! )

please don't let em take MN away from us - i'll have to tlak to DH then! lol

Clarinet60 · 08/08/2006 21:04

Justine & Co, if you need any more examples of the pricelessness of MN, I'm happy for you to cite the blanket and support we've received since DS's illness.

trogette · 08/08/2006 21:16

Been a member here for a long time but not a regular poster, I understand how important forums are and wholeheartedly support MN... Would greatly appreciate if the MN team could contact me off-board via email, have some potentially v useful info.

Keep on keeping on people! Big up from the HBz massiv.

VladimirllichLeninQV · 08/08/2006 21:35

trogette, it might be an idea to use the "contact us" facility at the top of the page..

RosaLuxemburg · 08/08/2006 21:35

Trogette, you're probably better off emailing [email protected] with it - not sure they'll see your post otherwise. Am intrigued

MerlinsBeard · 08/08/2006 21:37

at the risk of being seen as ignorant...what is the HBz massiv?
