I did not witness Brown's tears, but I'm sure David Cameron, who has also lost a child, could turn them on as well if he chose to, which he hasn't.
The vision that sickened me was Alistair Campbell pretending to break down on the BBC when asked questions on Iraq which he has repeatedly failed to answer. "I've been through so much!" he sighed heavily. I'm sure the relatives of those he sent to their deaths have been through quite a lot too. He sidestepped more questions by wailing about how Tony Blair was a genuinely decent bloke, and how neither of them deserve to be treated this way.
I think they've been extremely well treated, considering how they have treated others. The number of people willing to come to their defence is declining rapidly. |

I was happy to hear that Bradgalina are suing the NoTW for the false claim they were splitting up. This is pretty big as they have said they may sue all the outlets that just repeated the tale verbatim.
Although it's fairly innocuous when a show-biz couple have maritial problems-or not as in this case, it indicates the state of the world media.
The way it's going one there will just be a small news agency somewhere with half a dozen reporters churcning out stories that get repeated over and over around the world. Including false claims about WMD and next you have a war with thousands dying.
The Terry story has been repeated in Oz in main news broadcasts as though it's actually relative to this country. No-one has a clue about him. Even those who have emigrated from the UK soon lose all their old allegiances to sporting clubs and a dopt local teams or heroes as would seem normal.
It just shows the global media is stumbling from one diaster to the next and while still profitable, those which are not preapring for the collapse of print media in 10 years will fall over.
To some extent BR is correct-there is a sort of loose plot but it's more as though a combination of circumstances are pushing governemnt and media together in the same direction where truth will get lost. Max Headroon predicted it all ! |

I think its fair to say that Mr Brown may have wanted to talk about his past without intentionally showing any emotion. Call me old fashioned but I think to suggest otherwise is downright spiteful nastiness. Has anyone seen the footage? More to the point has anybody experienced the loss of a young life in the way he has on these boards? Broken society? Its right here for all to see folks. |

Back to the subject of the thread. The NOTW don't need to ruin England's chance of winning the world cup, they don't stand very much chance of winning anyway. Their only world class player is Rooney. Most of the players can barely make their own clubs first teams (Crouch, Heskey, Foster). They have had the easiest group in Europe, with the highest rated team been the Ukraine. Scotaland had Italy, Ireland had the Netherlands and Wales had Germany, much harder opposition. Everytime England have met the bigger times they have fallen short (i.e. France, Spain, Brazil).
Good luck England, but I feel the quarter or semi-finals is their best hope. |
