Roy Greenslade was giving his views on Leveson to his students today. “Significant and reckless disregard for accuracy”? Well Guido can see one howler…

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
Bill Quango MP says:
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn
Martin Prince – Andy Burnham
Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger
Crazy Cat Lady – Glenda jackson
Comic book guy – John Prescott
Carl – Chucka
Lenny – Philip Hammond
Willie – Eric joyce
Poochie – Gordon Brown
Reverend Lovejoy – Tony Blair
after all this time they still cant spell *Leveson* right, tsk!
read it several times and still missed it ..
it is a sad fucking state of affairs when the huhne 81lly points out others spelling mistakes
Might have been the Power Point’s crap spell checker. Should have used beamer

Isn’t Roy Greenslade the bell-end who favours a broadband tax to pay for what he perceives as “quality” newspapers (e.g. his very own Gurniada)?
No, he used to announce and have bit parts in the Goon Show.
Correct: also the paragon of journalistic truth and impartiality who used to write articles for the IRA (sorry, Sinn Fein) under a false name. (@ 51, 5.16 pm)
They could always put a paywall on the Guardian web site like Ruppy, I can see Guiudo paying that, he obviously does not like the paper
Where’s the Dalai Lama story?

we want to be appreciated by china, so they show their appreciation for us by giving us money. a once proud nation is on its knees,
It’s a bit fucking rich for anyone on this blog to complain about spelling mistakes.
Wyh?
You do understand the difference between a speling misyake and a typing error? One cannot edit one’s misyakes here.
Savvy?

Anyone getting sick of this leveson south east of ebgurland tory smoke screen yet? I am fucking bored with this hollow shit from that fecking lahndahn!
‘ave yer underpinnins come unstuck love?
If Owen Jones doesn’t have an article up tomorrow reminding us of the hundreds of babies being born into poverty, I’m an Eskimo…
Has he ever done an article – or perhaps just drawn pictures with crayons – about the thousands of babies orphaned in Iraq during his beloved Labour party’s illegal war?
I think he should.
Saddam lost. Get over it.
Good idea
the little nonce had one up in the I paper about people committing suicide on railway lines
he was so sympathetic – oh the humanity
turns it was the tories’ fault
Hi M’lord. How’s Nell? Chilly out innit.
Oh the irony….
A willingness to deploy covert surveillance against the public?
That’s Theresa May and her Snooper’s Bill isn’t it? You know the one being rolled out as part of the Coalition agreement that “We will end the storage of internet and email records without good reason.” That one.
It seems Theresa May doesn’t do irony…
She probably doesn’t do cookery either. Bloody women’s lib.
She does do anal though.
I told my neighbour to fuck off yesterday when he queried what I was doing with my wheelie bin .
When the man from the Tv Licensing sent me a letter demanding to know whether I had a TV I phoned him up and told him to fuck off .
When the bloke came round saying I had note completed the Electoral Roll Form I filled it in urinated on it and put it in his hand .
When the guy came for the Census form I got the dog to do something with it .
If Tessie May wants to snoop on me she will be in for a shock I tell you .
Are you the same chap who won “Welsh Charmer of 2011″?
try againm shall I… “William” Swansea, just tell them all to piss up a rope, as I do, from up the road.
Yes, but her £1.8billion snooper’s system (the one the Cons opposed when they were in opposition, on the correct grounds that it (a) will cost £1.8billion and (b) won’t work and (c) is the stuff of totalitarian regimes) will – apparently – stop all the terrorist attacks that we keep experiencing in this country.
Over the last ten years, on average, about half as many people are killed every year in terrorist attacks as are killed every day on our roads. So you see, spending £1.8 billion (even if it won’t make the slightest bit of difference) is money well spent.
yor analisis dos not detale how meny peeple will be killed if the system is not in place tho innit
maybe yu r mor interlektual than me
or maybe not
A willingness to deploy deep covert surveillance against the public?
the abusers just carry on.
we
are
letting
it happen.
one day someone will say what is the point of living when the erosion of life is endless. is that the way to save human lives?
When will these stupid bastards that are putting all this in place realise that they too are members of the public and that when the regime changes they will then become victims of their own treachery?
as spell check isn’t all it might be maybe a good sub editor is indicated
Tell Leveson to employ a sub-editor too; read the quoted excerpt.
Isn’t acting against the public interest the same as acting in spite of the public interest? How is that not a tautology? Was the Rt Hon Lord Justice trying to say that, even where there may have actually been a public interest to be served by doing a particular story, the press took spiteful advantage of that fact, and overstepped? Then why couldn’t he? We just did! Obviously not the same sort of howler as Guido’s referring to, but still, pretty bad writing. If the rest of the Leveson Report is written like this, it says a lot more about the educational system and the legal profession than it does about transgressions by the press.
I had lunch with Leveson. He does like his oysters. Slurp Slurp
Oysters is good for you .
They are the staple diet of the working fishermen .
They go down a treat with Guinness .
Lambrusco doesn’t count .
This is agreed. But there are none left down here so we come up your way now.
Kosher oysters? What will they think of next?
Vegetarian Halal Pork?
Well I’ve seen Mork Pies, textured fungal protein fashioned to look like the filling of a pork pie, will that do?
those who lie with shell fish shall be put to death
i do not kwote exacly form the bible but that is the essence
funni old werld eh?
molluscs – the littel basterds!
Yes, those little buggers gave me jaundice some years ago – which must explain my coloured view of the world since then.
Cynical? Moi!!?
LOL Shes up the duff
I can see Call me privileged already .
Hijacked royal wedding to try and get a feel good bounce…failed
Hijacked Jubilee to try and get a feel good bounce…failed
Hijacked Olympics to try and get a feel good bounce…failed
…you know the rest… sorry will fail again.
PS Guido are you still an Irish national, so nothing to see here…LOL
OMG the streets will be packed with Loons waving flags and I will have to walk amongst them to get to my tax payer funded apartment in the HoC?
Has Carney arrived already ?
I see your beloved leader Millibland
Internactually managed a tweet without using the word ‘Brave’With respect to Kate’s pregnancy, Miliband was originally going to call for an enquiry. Then one of the interns took him to one side and explained about the birds and the bees.
Never quite understood the expression “the birds and the bees”.
Did someone in distant antiquity think that bees fucked birds (the other way round is simply impossible),and young birds and bees were the result??
You make too much whoopie in China, you get banged up.
LOL.
lots of love.
traitor!
olympics was nice…the country knows how to be nice,
Google “Roy Greenslade” and “IRA Army Council”.
Quite. Greenslade’s party’s attitude to free speech on their own patch is a lot less generous.
Greenslade is a retarted fuck and he take can his thicko students and jog on.
Does
Retarted fuck
Mean he has had another hooker today ???
Yes. He is a retarded fuck and his hooker’s are in two minds about giving a blow job.
Girl = Diana
Boy = Brian
Like Guido ( believe me ) I think I’m going to vomit
We do not believe you should be imposing gender-assignments on the unborn human foetus at this stage.
We do not believe you should be imposing gender-assignment on the unborn human humanoid at this stage.
We suggest ‘Briana’ and to let the small human decide its gender later in life.
At which point it should be killed because it’s a Royal parasite that oppresses the workers.
I have heard statute, statutory, overseeing but not overseeing and statute does not mean statutory.
Will nobody FREE of of these odious pricks?
‘Weeks after Cameron walked into Number 10, Rupert Murdoch, keen to exploit his honeymoon with the Prime Minister, launched a bid to take sole control of BSkyB’ (Tom Watson, Dial M for Murdoch, 2012, p. 122).
WHAT LEVESON SAYS:
‘Consideration is also given to whether or note there was an explicit arrangement between Mr Murdoch and any Conservative politician in relation to the handling or outcome of the bid. It is right though to state at the outset that in fact the evidence did not come close to proving any such arrangement.’ (P. 1301 Para 1.9)
Yes but that is not the same as saying such evidence does not exist .
It means there was no such evidence in the papers shown to Leveson.
errrrr Inquiry NOT a trail
The inquiry was about press behaviour NOT the link between Dave and Me Love You long Time Mongo Murdoch….OK
Labour are at war with Murdoch. Labour have always been at war with Murdoch.
‘I will destroy you’.
You did that to the economy, Gordon.
We fucking love Murdoch while he was supporting us, like yeah?
We were Murdoch’s fucking poodle.
This lasted until Gordon Brown started spending with borrowed money like a fucking retard on speed and the country realised he had to be put down.
Get the fucking picture?
On a point of order evidence is not spelt S-M-E-A-R.
Please tell that ghastly blob Watson.
Perhaps the best solution is for people to grow up and realise that most of the things they read or see every day are untrue, exaggerated or distorted. There is no particular reason why a newspaper, TV channel or blog should be on your side. There is no reason to suppose that people working for the media worry whether what they say is scrupulously accurate and fair. Information comes to us as strict truth, downright lies and every shade of grey in between. ‘Twas ever thus.
We stand up for the poor. Don’t you believe me?
You stand up for yourselves Rich Bitch
Because of the unique way we are funded,whatever shade of shite we come out with you’re forced to buy it.
Sky! We bring you quality!
Hurrah! I am not forced by law to pay for you!
So I fucking don’t!
Plus, whatever fine is levied on us, YOU pay !!!!
spot on Sir Will
commercial entiities are out to make money.
good for them.
political entities are out for personal power.
we need to do the same.
no one deserves our power.
We’re going to hurl abuse at Kate Middleton for being pregnant! We don’t like the Royals!
errrr neither does you Irish hero Guido….LOL
Stop beheading girls for wanting an education, muzee.
The beheading of young girls, along with other rich Islamic cultural practices, such as female genital mutilation and child-marriage, is part of the rich and diverse cultural wealth which all of us should celebrate.
By order.
Agreed! We should all respect Islam! Death to UKIP!
Zyclon-B pellets – rich European cultural practice.
Hello Shlomo, how’s the weather in your zoinist raicst colony?
irish, warm, friendly. lots of love.
Ah, but ain’t that guy a university don?
He must be in the know about this “Levenson”
Is he warning us of unseen forces at work?
Don’t say he’s just a plonker who spells like a berk
Maybe a ‘Don’ (see post above) rather than the academic kind. But yes, you’re right, he is also a PWSLaB; the two are quite compatible.
Being loud mouthed is a socialist disease.
Tom Watson, Chris Bryant, Medhi bloke, Owen Jones, Alistair Campbell, John Prescott, to name but a few.
Let’s add Sally to that list.
However … what about Ian Paisley?
That is way past loud.
None of the above have anything on Degsy.
Too much alcohol with his his eLevensonses
very funny
Thanks for happy wishes (pukes) everyone has been so kind (pukes into hand)
Topic for tonight: under UK law royal baby can inherit throne if he/she converts to Islam, but not Catholicism
Does Leveson eat unleavened bread?
Lord Unleavenheavenson says :
No i do not
Matzos only for me.
Delicious, I was really annoyed when my local Tesco stopped stocking them.
Blinis are good too.
Blinis (Shop at) closed down years ago according to Bleak in Sunderland.
If money is tight this christmas, then Anthony Worral Thompson recommends shopping at Tesco.
Tesco are actually rather expensive – up to 3.5 times more expensive than small independent retailers, according to my wife.
She obviously doesn’t adopt Anthony’s approach to payment.
…and I am unanimous in this.
Your wife is a liar.
Good job for Blair, Campbell and Co we did not have the resources at that time to conduct a forensic investigation/or even /examination into… you know what…Kelly’s Eyes.
This what makes me sick about Milliband and the rest of the labour halfwits, they have a lot to answer for but they think they have a god given right to be in government. Only 2 1/2 years after truly buggering up the economy, they sit there pontificating, and doing their level best to ruin anything the PM suggests.This isnt opposition, it is pure spite.
+100
We blame the Rt. Hon. and Noble Lady up here.
If it was just the party in Westminster, there would be the semblance of a fair fight. They have whole battalions of useful idiots to call down and unleash havoc whenever they are not in government.
Good job for Bclair, Caupbell and Co we did not have the resources at that time to conduct a forensic investigation/or even /examination into… you know what…Kully’s Eyes.
Naughty words changed in attempt to evade modbot.
I’ve got gangnam style!
You’re certainly a bit PSY
psy.cho
has more energy than psy.chi/psy.ki
when it comes to the parasites in society it is better to use the energy of KO. we need to ask the parasites why? when they want more charity from us.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
I totes congrats Wills & Katie on baby news. *patriotic* Me and John wish them all best. *excited* If she wants tips on raising kids, she shud tweet me. *cheeky* Serious tho, I luv Wills & Katie. *smiley face* I’m going 2 celebrate. *opens legs bends over dustbin in alley*
LOL – loved this
Comment of the day, but I doubt it will find its way to our host’s little box on the side.
Excellent!!
How much was sally sued for ?
Slightly ironic given that one of Greenslade’s favourite sons is a man named Phil Gillivan, now named Phil MacGiollabhain- that in itself is a reckless disregard for accuracy. However the aforementioned MacGiollabhain is/was involved in praising, if not being directly involved, in the now discredited Rangers Tax Case Blog. That very much having a blatant disregard for accuracy & honesty.
Better get Hodge after him then.
All rise.
My name is Levenson and I insist it was nothing to do with me guv
If the Guardian goes bust what paper will i read?
is ashamed shami in a Chakravyuha?
a situation that she cannot escape from.
who is pulling her string?
…she cannot be both for the report and against it….
I’ll have you know it is a woman’s privlege to change/change/change/change/change her mind.
“Roy Greenslade is Professor of Journalism at City University London and has been a media commentator since 1992, most notably for The Guardian”
wanker!
What was City University previously known as? Stepney Primary?
