Hacked Off Run Out of Friends
It’s all gone pear-shaped for the Leveson-loving press freedom bashers over at Hacked Off. Hijacking the Libel Reform Bill with Labour media luvvy Lord Puttnam to force through Brian’s bonkers proposals has gone down pretty badly with some old friends and supporters. Legal blogger and former Hacked Off fan David Allen Green isn’t impressed:
“As Leveson supporter (and witness), am sorely disappointed that Hacked Off are now misusing and frustrating crucial Libel Reform Bill. What right do the Hacked Off campaigners have to misuse and frustrate the essential Libel Reform bill? None at all, whatsoever. I was behind the Hacked Off supporters until they wrongly hijacked the Libel Reform Bill. Just so selfish, misconceived, and illiberal.”
He’s not the only one:
@DrEvanHarris @DavidAllenGreen But Hacked Off supports the amendments, does it not, Evan?—

Guido was warning you these people were evil long before it was fashionable.
First!
And very insightful.
This is a cake and a pickle.
WVM = first twat.
Bet it’s 8illy
Opacity is Transparency
Censorship is Openness.
Regulation is freedom.
They will be fighting an uphill battle anyway, nowt to do with Guido, simply there are too many lawyers who make a very nice income out of libel cases especialy all those lovely foreigners, know what I mean?
Are they being progressive in the hi-jacking? if they are then it’s allright.
What does 38 Degrees say?
What does Common Purpose think?
We should be told…………………………..
“What does 38 Degrees say? What does Common Purpose think?”
A bit of a tautology.
Time for thicker foil on your millinery.
@12 Fuck off you bigoted piece of shit
Of course Hacked Off and its rich lawyers want to sabotage libel reform.
‘Common Purpose’ – stamped all over their writs.
Feck off you twats. I am not common.
05/03/2013 at 12.45 pm – We are currently experiencing intermittent blogging issues with Owen Jones and are working to resolve the situation. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Please don’t try to hard to resolve the situation.
Or even, at all. Just sit and listen to the little birdies singing. For ever.
SKREEEEEEE-EEET!!!
Imagine a dazzlingly plumaged Psittacene, squawking in a human’s face, forever … Wonderful!
Well blow me
I need to know – how large?
Looks just like a pen1s only smaller
Let me see.
Clear off, Pervy Priest, this is a job for a professional.
To clarify, because these are muddy waters, how have Hacked Off ‘misused’ and ‘frustrated’ the bill?
The Bill was designed for one purpose only, to provide a defence of reasonable comment on matters of public interest for those accused of libel. It would prevent, for instance, the silencing of scientific debate that might harm an organisation’s commercial interests. It would not assist purveyors of celebrity gossip because ‘publicc interest’ is different from ‘of interest to the public’.
Lord Puttnam and his pals have tacked on some of the Leveson propsals, quite irrelevantly and opportunistically. Their purpose may be to sabotage the Bill, because it now requires further debate in the Commons which the Government, never over-enthusiastic about free discussion, may decide is unavailable.
PMSL
Mwahahahaha
I see, sort of. Certainly, when Baroness Scotland was defending this on The World At 1, she didn’t sound at all convincing. Too much of that unctuous ‘I can’t see *why* the Prime Minister would have a problem with this’, in the face of clear challenges from the interviewer that Cameron would have a very *big* problem with it. Political infighting/opportunism gets in the way again?

This is a shame… I have lost all faith in Hacked Off

Thanks for the warning Gweeds.
We’d have never worked it out for ourselves. We needed a man of your intellect and waistline to show us the Truth.
You arrogant twat.
There is an awefull smell of Troll in here – has anyone called for the exterminators?
I wish someone would hack me off!
Why do people like this make me puke?
Like most bacteria they are spread by touching something already infected like a first class aircraft seat between Italy and the UK, or a bottle of very expensive Prosecco
Toynbee twat.
The BBC too afraid of the Government???
She’s finally lost the plot completely.
Must ‘of’ left it on a train.
I got into a black taxi in Birmingham last weekend and told the driver that I was going to London.
He said, “That’s going to be about £400.” which I thought was quite reasonable, until I saw a sign in the back saying ‘I Will Charge You £60 If You’re Sick In The Back!’
So I shoved my fingers down my throat.
All these arguments should be heard in a secret court.
Seen, but not heard, children. Seen, but not heard.
Or even seen. Ever again
Who are you?
True. judging from last night’s vote most of those “libertarian” tories we see continually praised here have disappeared already.
In my opinion Sir David Nicholson should resign, and be the scapegoat for me and Alan Johnson. It’s so obvious Nicholson is being extremely economical with the truth.
Mascara is not allowed in here. Join the nonces.
Guido, I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but your blog is becoming a tad dull these days. Do you save the interesting stuff to sell elsewhere?
+1
The silly Mick signs to Rupert’s tune now. He’s just another slave now.
is a translation into english of the above-quoted gibberish available?
Errr. Wot duz gilty mean Mr Judge?
Monsieur Huhne: Douze Points
Leveson? What was that all about then? Did I miss something?
Only the bullseye. Most unlike you….
About 4 mins Divine speaks of her whacked off experience, worth a listen:
The Huge Grunt of moral authority told the cop immediately that he had given her $, blabbing etc. ‘What a fool’. Oh, and he apparently has a small knob.
This radio show has an audience > 10m in the states.
Evan Harris is a slimy you-know-what, pretending he has the best interest of the rest of us gentle folk at heart
Clear off! Scroungers!
It is all a Hucking bore if you get my drift. What are these geezers fighting for freedom of speech up to a point x but NOT the point of no return. The web is there for all of us to read…and comment upon as each individual sees fit. Presumably these and like thinking geezers want to put a stop to all the ‘free thoughts’ flying through space. The only censorship is self-censorship.
