The pot calling the kettle black 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
If the BBC presenter story teaches us anything, it should be the pitfalls of rushing to judgment.

Oh, like The Guardian have done for decades?

All the newspapers are only fit for the trash to use as lining for pigeon and rabbit hutches. Online newspapers are becoming harder to read due to all the ads. No wonder nearly all the online papers ask for donations like a beggar on a street.

I haven't seen The Sun since Hillsborough, and probably not much before, but similar tabloids, the ones who have been sharpening their pitchforks all week in drooling anticipation, regularly advertise "Only Fans" through their features where they celebrate Kerry Katona's venture into prostitution or whatever they call it these days.

And looking at Google, there are indeed similar articles in The Sun.

Who do they think it is good to offer the service, but bad if you buy it?
Why would all the papers turn on a newsreader at the same time? Is somebody paying them to be ridiculous?

Notice that the article is a short 'opinion piece' by an outsider, not a major piece by a staff journalist. The papers don't go after their own, and that's why Murdoch has been allowed to do so much damage and destroy so many lives over the years. And with circulations falling, and revenue drying up, these papers are going to be even less inclined to make their own failings the news of the day.

All newspapers are in decline.

I don't see The Sun in my newsagents when they do holiday giveaways for under a tenner. I found Haven very naff, boring and expensive at the bar. The entertainment is embarrassing and samey.

If Haven goes in Weymouth,then Weymouth is well and truly fucked. No big act books the Weymouth Pavillion unless you want to see tribute acts.

I am at this very moment trying to compose a polite version of "F right off" to someone who keeps very kindly trying to give me those cheap holiday vouchers from The Sun.

I have never been giving those vouchers, but I have seen people rummage through skips for The Sun and asking the chip shops for the The Sun for the vouchers.

If people wanted to get a Haven deal without the vouchers, look for online codes. The only 2 things that I like about Weymouth is the nature walks and fishing. The town is dead as a dodo. It's amazing how one county (Dorset) can decline over 5 years.

I used to love Weymouth and Portland, and spent a lot of time there, but much of the area has gone to pot, by the look of things.
I daren't even look at Bognor in case it is ruined?

My partner has many good memories of Weymouth. Sadly, she no longer likes the place, apart from going to see beach. Weymouth public transport is an utter joke, Pretty much the whole of Dorset is now shambolic.

I have never been to Bognor so I can't tell you Honey. Bournemouth is getting is very dodgy now, the Trouvile Hotel where a family was robbed last year closed it's doors for good. So if there is a concert you want to see be wary of the town!

I have asked around, to people I know in Bournemouth about the Trouville.

I have hear 2 two things. The new owners didn't want pay for the upkeep so sold the building off to the local government, to house illegal immigrants.

Other one I have heard, is that the police and health and safety were called out one too many times. And the managerment and owner did a runner over night.

It was a decent a hotel, I used to stay there a fair bit in the past, if I didn't fancy driving home after a concert or I've had one too many.

I guess Karma is a thing.
