News of The World - Scum Rag

[flip_flop]

Is there an irony that the NOTW had banner headlines yesterday referring to Jonathan Ross as "sick" for an innocent comment he made on his radio show on Saturday, considering this festering fetid pile of excrement has;

- Published details of the identities of paedophiles in the past which led to stupid chavs persecuting a paediatrician, 'cos it looks like its spelled the same init

- Regulary has women in various states of undress.

- Filmed and subsequently villified Moseley for activities which were legal.

- Regulary pays any old rent-a-slapper for their 3 in-a-bed romps with a Carlos Kickaball or some other minor sporting/entertainment "celebrity".

- Various entrapments using the Fake Sheik.

I could go on all day, but you get the point.

It always makes me wryly smile that they hold themselves up to be paragons of virtue and arbiters of good taste, when in fact they are the exact opposite.

I take it you bought it?

Therin lies the problem. People buy it to read it so they publish more of it.

[flip_flop]

No, I did not. Never have and never will.

One of the guys I went to the pub with yesterday lunch time did.

flip_flop . . . why single out the NOTW?

LoftieLotti2 says This was reported in one paper only. Just the News of the World being it's usual self, and fabricating most of the story.

Well . . .

I totally agree with you flip flop. I believe the Sun is Britains best selling newspaper. The mind boggles. It's about time these excuses for newspapers were confined to the lavatory.

nobody had the faintest idea who the woman was until the Sun identified her and dragged her into the spotlight. So who exactly has humiliated her?

[Booldawg]

I always laugh at the NOTW when they expose 'seedy stars' yet looking near the end of the paper they are quite happy to take money advertising sex chat phone companies, massage parlours and loan sharks.

[Mr Veritas]

Jonathan Ross is so contrite(not) now.
Mark my words the BBC will allow him some leeway and this year or next year he will do another "Sachsgate" and then he will end up out on his @rse in the wilderness,where he deserved to beall along.
Then you will have to look for him under a stone,because thats where reptiles are found.

[LoftyLottie2]

Very good point jno. It was her own family who humiliated her!!

A.Guest, I apologised for my mistake, so why did you bring it up on here? However, the points I made on that thread since make my feelings on it much clearer.

[LoftyLottie2]

Jonathon Ross will only have to open his mouth now and the media will step in and the complaints will flood in from people who don't like him and never watch him.

[jake-the-peg]

I agree

Some of the humour on the News Quiz and especially I'm Sorry I haven't a clue has been so near the knuckle it requires surgery!

I have little doubt that if Ross told such jokes he'd be lynched yet Humph's telling of Samatha's favorite dish as "Tongue in Cider" didn't get him in any trouble at all!

Clearly "the moral minority" have scented blood and won't stop until they get it!

I blame the abolition of fox-hunting myself

Why Not ? Or is it that if All do it,it's OK. If I want to criticise a Rapist ,do I have to mention Every Rapist ?
