Comment on the DM website about the ‘chain-smoking’ 12-year-old girl who’s just given birth
‘Sadly I think the state should step in and make it law that all girls underage should either abort their baby or put it up for adoption. Not that the latter is a good option. I have seen the tragedy of families who adopted babies not knowing the family history.’
Being an anti – drug person who objects greatly to the passive encouragement of drug taking by certain members of the ‘establishment’ I wouls like to see people brought to book. These things do great harm, especially I imagine to impressionable young people. However it is difficult to see how anyone can be prosecuted on the basis of a photograph. If
Soory, cut off. If this story is true and this amount of money was spent someone wants a kick up the arse. Lets be fair, how can you identify anything on the evidence the NOW produced
The idea that Kate Moss is a drug dealer is so absurd that I would have though even the Daily Mail would hesitate to suggest it. But no. Guess what, Mr Dacre, she’s rich, so when she buys coke she buys enough to last a while before having to get more – and hey, she’s generous so she shares it with her friends. Where’s the story, Dacre? And do you have any idea how many of your employees use cocaine now and then? That would make a more interesting story, wouldn’t it?
There is a rational explanation by the CPS as to why they did not prosecute. They had to be able to prove what substance was being used. The info provided by the NOW was insufficient.
It’s a good job that the Mail is not responsible for justice in this country, other wise there would be people hanging from gallows at every street corner.
Surely just being “branded a pusher” should result in being banged up. Otherwise I would tell the police my neighbour was a violent criminal just so he’d stop singing in the garden at 3am every morning.
Also, can somebody buy the Mail a new urban dictionary, “pusher” isn’t the preferred nomenclature these days.
Although I suppose actually saying deal would get ‘em sued.
Littlejohn does seem to be acknowledging that he’s a big, wobbly liar. Look at that cheeky grin. I want to punch him very hard in the face with my hand.
And PeeCee — you’re not alone, I’ve made the mistake of moving to Dundee for ten weeks and if there’s one Scottish stereotype that’s spot-on, it’s loud and drunken. And also outside my window. All night. They shout and shout and shout and shout and shout and shout and shout and shout and shout and sing, and last night somebody in a pub was singing bohemian rhapsody with only a keyboard and cymbal. I think.
Maybe, if these people have such an influence on young people, they didn’t want to send Kate Moss to prison in case young people would think that going to prison was the mark of the super-cool
I do think it’s shit that celebrities get let off on drug laws where less famous people would be severely punished, but the Mail’s tone depresses me. Bring back National Service! Huuur!
Richard Littlejohn is the authority on making stuff up
Its not just the DM who have their head up their arse re La Moss, a first year undergraduate doing law could have told you way back when the story broke that photographic evidence alone would not prove anything, her dealer might have sold her baby laxative.Inwhich case she should be the one pressing charges.In the end 250k wasted as police jet off to USA on a jolly up they knew would be a waste of time…and yes if DM had used the word dealer than they would be open for alsorts of libel…’pusher’, being a seventies term would ring bells with all the curtain twitchers in suburbia that may have watched ‘French Connection’
Littlejohn you twunt as usual
If she can get off on a technicality I am afraid that I will not purchase any item from any company that employs her. I am not allowed to buy and use drugs, I am not prepared to fund someone who provides them to others… can someone please publish a list of companies for me to boycott?
Re. Littlejohn – today, he stated that “Britain is now a considerably more dangerous place than it was nine years ago”, and that “[t]hat is Blarir’s true legacy”. This despite, what statistic was it, umm, violent crime down 43% since its peak in 1995? Not to mention Polly Toynbee in The Guardian a few days ago making the point that knife murders, far from having gone through the fackin’ roof guvna’, I’d pull the blaady lever meself like the tabloid press would like us to believe, have actually not risen at all (”In 1995 there were 243 murders with sharp instruments; 10 years later there were slightly fewer, at 236 last year”).
I pointed this out to my dad (my parents buy the Mail; I have nothing to do with it), and he shrugged. I give up. I have lost count of the amount of times I’ve demonstrated to my parents that The Mail is not only vociferously polemical (which wouldn’t be too much of a problem if its views weren’t so repugnant) but plain mendacious. What do you lot suggest I do? I don’t want to have to resort to cutting holes in the thing every morning, but if that’s what it takes to get my family to read something decent…
a first year undergraduate doing law could have told you way back when the story broke that photographic evidence alone would not prove anything, her dealer might have sold her baby laxative.
Doesn’t even have to be a dealer. All Moss has to say is “Its Bassett’s sherbert. I enjoy snorting sherbert”, and there’s absolutely nothing the CPS could do.
However, I shall continue to not buy things endoresed by Kate Moss, because I am not a vapid, empty-headed clothes hanger, and therefore have no use for them.
blood roses….well i suggest they switch to another paper, perhaps the Daily Express or if that fails.. kill them, theres not a jury who d convict you mercy killing
Incidently, on a Mail related note, there’s a really good article/interview with Melanie Phillips in the Guardian today. Never realised she’d actually went to the Mail from the Guardian.
what bothers me about the people who are suddenly boycotting any product or brand that kate moss has endorsed is that if they want to do that properly they should really boycott every product and/or brand that has EVER been endorsed by a modelling campaign.
sure, kate was a bit stupid to do coke, and even more so to get caught, however, the modelling industry is absolutely swimming in cocaine and i think you would be hard pushed to find a model, photographer, stylist, make up artist, high powered pr exec or fashion designer anywhere that had never touched the stuff. which, of course, means boycotting every product that’s ever been advertised, by virtually all brands i can think of.
which would effectively mean moving to the depths siberia, and living off the land. and even there you’d have trouble avoiding coca cola, or prada, to name a couple of prominent brands (and i know because i’ve been there) so i think trying to boycott “kate” products is an utterly futile gesture.
and much as i think she was bloody silly to do what she did, i also think it’s very vindictive that the entire fashion industry has turned on her for doing something they all do.
not to mention the journalism industry, and the marketing/promo industry. do you think they have random cocaine testing at daily mail towers? i think if they did they would have kept quiet on this story.
Given their constant repitition of the same scare stories (Global Warming, Draconian Civil Rights Abuses) and their scant regard for facts or balance, the Independent is to liberals what the Mail is to conservatives. Discuss.

so how much stuff does little john make up than?
Beyond the Law but convicted by the Media.

Littlejohn – you usually do
Littlejohn – even I couldn’t make him up.

If any of us had done what Kate Moss or Pete Docherty are alleged to have done, you can be sure that we’d be behind bars by now.

I might make a press complaint because his face upsets me when i go for my indie in the morning, it dampens my day.
Matt, why bother buying the Indie?
The Mail has started publishing articles from it. No, that is not a joke.
what bothers me about the people who are suddenly boycotting any product or brand that kate moss has endorsed is that if they want to do that properly they should really boycott every product and/or brand that has EVER been endorsed by a modelling campaign.

Plus what bands in recent years hasn’t done cocaine.
I have done cocaine.
BAN ME
I’ve enver done cocaine. Only idiots do drugs.
Don’t forget, Littlejohn once said ‘If you want the truth, read the Sun’.
Littlejohn oh littlejohn, what, what, what are you one

GWO, you’re wrong mate, you mean the grauniad! the grauniad is probably the leftie mail. the independent has more substance.
