Latest Laughable Leveson Submissions

Having recovered from his weekend exploits Brian decided that Wednesday evening would be a good time for a document dump, releasing submissions on the future regulatory regime for the press. Guido was amused by some of the more wacky suggestions, including:

  • Paul Dacre proposing meaningless “ethical” press cards that would seek to create a Soviet-style club of authorised journalists. Guido might issue his own cards…
  • The Mail editor suggests banning hacks from the Press Association newswire if they misbehave. Apparently “it would be very difficult to produce any newspaper without PA“. Speak for yourself…
  • Max Mosley implying that stories about “sexual conduct between consenting adults” should be banned for not being in the public interest. Don’t mention the spanking tarts!
  • Advertisers should boycott non-compliant publishers. Facebook, Google and Guido are not exactly trembling.
  • PCC Chairman Lord Hunt claiming the PCC never had the power to do anything about previous dodgy press practices. That will be it’s epitaph… 

Well they would say that, wouldn’t they…

    The PCC never had the WILL to do anything about dodgy press practices invariably bending over backwards to exonerate the guilty. When the transgressors are voluntarily paying for the watchdog, what do you expect?

      Start thinking people.

      Lawyers (The whole fraternity) have self-regulation; The Bankers have self-regulation and the press want to continue to regulate themselves… Hello!

      And the IPCC are said to regulate errant cops.

      Isn’t it all one big happy family of them and their trades verses – the Taxpaying public. As for MP’s well – they’re just a bunch of circus performers.

      They have adopted the Practices of the Tyrannical Judiciary and their lesser snakes on the ladder in Stalinist Communist Russia. They are making a killing out of it – and guess at who’s expense?

        I admire your fortitude, keep it up! Maybe the trickle down effect may work, but I doubt it. You just need to read a random sampling of daily mail comments in order to want to suicide…

    I have just recieved and skimmed through a copy of the latest

    Corruption in the police service in England & Wales Report 2 of May 2012.
    [60 pages]
    The jargon, waffle, rhetoric and twisting for business purposes of the statistics are to put it mildly so akin to Communist practices – it beggars belief.

      The plan with these Tossers is to bombard you with crapola, thus eventually you lose the will to live.

      The same, in general, is on all news ‘channels’ (geddit???) unt tee vee ‘shows’ unt radiodribble et cetera.

      Give the plebs plenty of sport porn iPhone apps and job done!!!

      Going superbly so far!

    OT: At least the £240K bail forfeited by the leftie media luvvies backing Assange will make up for any tax they’ve been dodging.

    When a Capitalist system becomes so corrupted from the top down its leaders adopt Marxist Communist tactics, techniques and clothes to evade from their having been caught out by the masses.

    When a Marxist Communist system becomes so corrupted from the top down its leaders adopt Capitalist tactics, techniques and clothes to evade from their having been caught out.

    When both become no different from one anohter; is when the checks and balances on those at the top are eroded. ‘Both systems’ employ / use their Judiciary as a so called stop on corruption – and that’s what Judicial Tyrannies are all about and that is when something is going to give.

      Marx was a hack writer barely eating until the Banksters gave him a maid and told him what to pen, promised him heaven on earth, which is what he got.

      You do know this, right?

      Everything since has been lies upon lies.

      The big lie, if you will.

      Research the sudden annunciation of rent boy A Hitler, for another example of a useful idiot.

      He would fail, it would take YEARS of befuddling, by which time the act would be just a memory of a hacked text on an iPhone belonging to the cosy Oxfordshire cabal.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
