    Hang on – a couple of weeks ago weren’t the DM criticising her for REFUSING to name her victims?

    (Obviously I have no empathy with the woman, I’m just highlighting crappy journalism)

    Indeed it is crappy journalism. Whether it’s a ploy to cut her sentence or not, it’s giving people what they wanted, and that’s only fair enough. While I can’t condone anything she’s done in any form whatsoever, she is, of course, doing something at least vaguely decent. This in no way makes up for the horrors of what she did in the first place, but at least it’s something.

    Is that a real woman in Dead Blonde Corner, or a high-end sex doll?

  5. ms morbo

    she’s real, and seems to bare some resenblance to her own father, which, in mail land, is apparently shocking front page worthy news.

  6. Yeah Yeah

    Nice vampire, and very timely too. Who’s her farther? I thought they were referring to Sharon Stone.

  7. Stevie H

    She is the daughter of Stone Cold Steve Austin – can’t you tell from the pic?

    Another worrying story.

    This white lad who had a pre-arranged fight with an asian lad after school. Where the asian lads friends jumped in and roughed him up a bit.

    You know, not great, but happens a lot in schools. The Mails tone is disgusting.

    They’ve jumped on the story as the kids white, middle class, and was beaten up by someone none white.

    Claiming it’s a worry culture of “asian cliques” in schools. And apartheid. Apparently these asians have been given “their own area to congregate at break times”.

    What’s the chances that they just choose to hang around with eachother, in the tennis courts, or bike sheds or something like that!?

    These stories need to be rubbished. I implore people to vists the public message boards on things like this, and really speak sense.

    PS.

    The Mail wikipedia page is completely censored, by a few users. I wouldn’t be that surprised if they worked for the paper.

    If you try to make any changes, and add obvious, controversial headlines, or stories, they delete the changes within minutes. And threaten to report you to wikipedia.

    I got so sick of this, that I called their bluff, and implored them to report me (even though I work in the press, and any suspension from the site could have resulted in work discipline).

    Anyway, holding my breath, I was right in my stance, as the wikipedia people actually turned on the people reporting me, and said that the people making the complaints were breaking rules by claiming “ownership” of a public page.

    Anyway, there is a definite war going on between people who want free speech, and about 5 users who are doing their best to make out that the Mail has never made a mistake in it’s history.

    I insist, no matter how they try to threaten you, you are breaking no rules by making accurate, fact based changes, that are sourced.

    If they try to threaten you, and reverse the changes, report them

    christo – it could have been ordinary bullying with nothing to do with race or it could have been a case of asian-on-white racism, best to keep an open mind to all possibilities i suppose. i do think certain elements of the press have been trying too hard to imply it was a racist attack, for example the metro listed the ways the asian boys were allegedly intimidating the white boy: most things on the list were behaviours you could definiately say were intimidating, but one of them was “talking in their own language” – how on earth is that intimidating? i can understand feeling intimidated if they were talking about him (whether in another language or in english), but talking in another language in general?

    Huge shock as not very nice person does not very nice thing!

  12. Joao Kartoshka

    I thought they were against Sharia law?

  13. Marcs

    Myself I think that the racist attack was one which was foiled and was turned around by the likes of the Daily Mail and their associate websites sich as stormfront making the would be victims into the perpetrates.

  14. Matt Hurst

    Yeah that story recieved the usual tut tut’s from work collegues, I just ignored it

    The immigration story they’re running with right now
    (Labour deliberately tried to make this country ‘foreign’!)
    is tragically hilarious.
    They’re accusing Labour & Blair of treachery (try not to faint, everyone).
    Melodrama writ large (literally).

    I guess their in-built paranoia about their own genuine flirt with treachery to this nation (cozying up to and endlessly apologising for Hitler & Co. until it was too late) is the real root of their idiotic nonsense.
