Hmm. The comments don't really go for it, do they?

True, so I don't really see what purpose it serves at all.

I suppose I have flagged it up here..tsk.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they put shite like that in the paper in order to attract outraged comments, to make the website look attractive to advertisers. It would make me less likely to bother looking at it at all.

"Passe" - as if people strike as a fashion statement, for fuck's sake.

I only go on strike if industrial action matches my shoes.

Reads typically like some of the crap I see in SU press across the spectrum.

The best quote is this "Simon Kelner is away" Trying to distance himself from this piece of horseshit then.

To be fair there is a piece arguing against this (as if it's worthy of that) in today's i* with 'Simon Kelner is away' at the bottom.

* thingsin the i are just things from The Independent aren't they?

"shape the news"? What happened to old fashioned reporting?

Cock v Conscience.

Apart from being 40.

She looks too much like a girl I "encountered" once, so I'm going for Conscience.

Of course I included sentences that were calculated to incite trolling, spiteful comments and social media rage. I am not upset in the slightest that vested interests object to my opinions – that was utterly predictable – but it does annoy me that people imagine I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I have been asked if I actually exist or if the i invented me for a trolling exercise. Well I exist and of course I knew. My dream is to be a tabloid editor. Do you really think I don’t know how to cause mayhem with words?

Someone said ‘she should go work for the Daily Mail.’ Presumably this idiot does not realise it is Britain’s most consistently successful newspaper – a market leader since 1896, if I may point this out. So, my answer is YES PLEASE! Another one who tracked me down on Facebook said that it was a pity NotW died as it would’ve been my spiritual home. Anyone who has read anything I have previously written knows that it was. Anyone who works for or with me on this publication has received staff messages signed Miss Malm-MacKenzie. And I know this annoys people. Some journalists want to save the world. That’s not my dream. I believe in the free speech. I want to be controversial, I want to make people think, to challenge their assumptions and to write back because they disagree.


Anyone can troll it seems, ho hum, What a great ambition for a 21 year old Journalism student. The "reputation" building continues.
In the new frontier, everyone will get their 15megabytes of fame.

Free speech which applied equally to her critics, one might presume.

She's swallowed the Mail bollocks wholesale, hasn't she?
