Melanie Philips, p.12 “The new issue is that the public will no longer tolerate being lied to … They are demanding honesty and transparency in political life”. I guess they’d better choose another newspaper then.
SASSY, IRREVERENT AND FEARLESS = three words that could be applied to say…Russell Brand or Jonathan Ross (just to pluck names out of the air). Though in that case, the Mail would use SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE, DISRESPECTFUL AND DESIGNED TO CAUSE OFFENCE. It’s all in the spin.
“Figures to be published this summer will show around 200 serious mistakes and ‘near misses’ by fertility doctors”
No definition of what a near-miss is, mind. I suppose it’s much easier to simply let your readership jump to the conclusion that 200 babies are in the wrong mums.
Good to see they’re pushing their anti-test tube arguement today. Again, trying to scare the crap out of us into believing their pathetic spin. Anyway, as NickPheas said, what period of time is that over? If it’s over a period of 20 years, it’s not big and shocking at all.
Also, about JSP, it’s a shame-I’ve always liked her and thought she was a very sensible woman. Well done DM, you’ve managed to brainwash yet another sensible-thinking, nice person into joining your clutches.
Let’s face it, if it’s neo-con US Rep the DM is going to be sympathetic.
It’s the usual confused conservative BS, anti choice when it comes to personal & ‘moral’ behaviour & anti the public sector but pro business/enterprise & the private sector can do what it bl*ody well likes.
The labels on the topics may change but the subtext is always the same.
Test-tube babies, I have so many questions about this. Do they really grow in a test-tube? Can you grow them at home? Do you need a man to help start it all of? I need the answers.

Misread the top of page, thought it said “Antique voice joins the Mail today”
Oh great it will be good to have someone “sassy and irrelevant” after the middleground PC culture at the mail for all these years!

200 Test Tube Blunders in what period I wonder?
Wow, human beings in the medical profession made 200 mistakes (God knows over what lenght of time or how serious).
Let’s have a witch hunt!
I’d rather read Melanie Phillips than Janet Street-Porter. At least MP has some unintentional comedy.

Oh great Janet Street Porter, the Mail has managed to find a way to get even worse.
shouldn’t a near-miss be a good thing, if it means they came close to making a mistake but didn’t actually make it.
Couldn’t they get Normski instead?
