Guardian apologises to the Sun

Not heard anyone complaining about these lies, had it been the Daily Mail rather than the Guardian who had published these lies, certain ABers would be fighting to get this bit of news posted on AB.

Double standards me thinks.

AOG - the responsibility for the level and frequency of approbation heaped on the Daily Mail on this site can be laid squarely at your door.

You quote and provide links from it on an almost daily basis - and the law of averages suggests that if one person regularly quotes and links from one newspaper with such frequency, on a site where virtually no other user adopts this technique for provoking debate, with therefore virtually no other paper being liniked and quoted, then the result must mean that gainsaying will be against the Daily Mail.

It is not that everyond would disagree with the Mail as a matter of course - simply that you present them with the opportunity to do so by quoting and linkng with the frequency that you do.

You can't have it both ways.

Come on AOG - I know you are on line. It's not like you to waste time composing a response to one of your threads - or could it be that I have actually won a debate?????

Dream on Andy.

I may be on line at times either complying another thread or replying to more recent threads, but I don't always trace back to old threads, especially when there is little to add.

I do not daily post links from just the Daily Mail i also post other links, just as the so called 'Daily Mail haters' are not hesitant in also posting from Daily Male links, if they find it fits in with their own particular agenda.

As regards to myself answering you, perhaps you would also now care to answer me regarding the reason my question was removed?

Which in turn appears to have been removed also.

you're asking andy to reply to a thread that isn't there any more? Good luck with that. If you want to know why a thread was removed you'll have to ask the Ed (but he won't tell you).

jno is quite right AOG - I have no idea why your thread was removed - or indeed why any threads are removed, this is not information to which I am given access.

Steve Whittamore was the private investigator whose hacking methods were what brought down the News Of The World. Guess which paper used him more than any other?

Page 11 of the official report http://www.ico.gov.uk...s/ico-wppnow-0602.pdf shows that the Daily Mail used his services more than any other, and even the Mail On Sunday used him more times than the NOTW.

No wonder that the Daily Mail has decided that it's time to move on.

No but you do know that you high-jacked that question on behalf of another, and from that time the question was removed.

[andy-hughes]

I did not hi-jack it!

And to infer that my post alone was sufficient for the thread to be removed, when the contributed fifty -er cent of the debate is frankly ludicrous!

Be annoyed your thread was removed by all means - but please direct your ire where it belongs.

/// while the vast number of maniacs that drive cars are still around,///

Mmmm

Yes I was also taught similar when I was learning to drive, "treat everyone else on the road as idiots" that is.

[andy-hughes]

Hang on - I think you've posted in one of your other threads in error.

But as we are of a roughly similar age, i can concur - I was advised to treat all other road users as idiots, then anything more was a bonus!
