Exactly as I predicted a few days ago!!!

The Daily Hate are nothing if not utterly, utterly, predictable.

Indeed - delighted and hope it may boost sales of the Kindle No1 E-Book and the views for Vile Pervert and Me Me Me.

Paedophile? Someone who finds children sexually attractive? Not me - either in fact or in the law. A child is defined as "a person under the age of 14" by the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 (never repealed).

funny isn't it..The Mail does a piece about the BBC re-writing history and in doing so-re-writes the English language ( as in 'paedophile)

I think the BBC just earned some points with me, after this.

As for the Daily Mail, they are still a waste of space.

amazing that there are some positive and sane response in the reader's messages..many who can understand the danger of editing someone out of a piece of history.

as for comments like this :

He is the most evil man who ever lived and should be hanged (etc)...presumably drawn and quartered

In my world people like him would be written out permanently!!

If these people are serious they are deranged or quite mad. the thought they are out on the streets should disturb anyone.
Then again, possibly they are average DM readers.

A good job that nice Mr Dacre has now committed the Mail to print a corrections section in the paper - here's to yours being one of the first!

Interesting that the Telegraph have stopped using the word "paedophile"... accuracy in language is an essential in civilisation.

Re:JK in Daily Mail 12 Years, 6 Months ago  
and I love this comment :

The BBC is funded and controlled by the government so I doubt too many people will be surprised by this censorship. However, I must say I love watching the 1976 TOTP programmes as I just love to see Pan's People dancer Lulu now and again. She was a big favourite of me and my school pals in those days because she was obviously nearly as young as we were, and very pretty too. What a slim beauty she was. I'm fat and bald now. I hope she still looks OK.

This is wonderful and reminds of Mick Jagger when asked a question he doesn't want to answer..goes off on a tangent from which the conversation cannot return to..

wot a hoot !!

Re:JK in Daily Mail 12 Years, 6 Months ago  
Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre today announced that his paper will, from next week, include a corrections column.

Speaking at the Leveson inquiry this morning, Mr Dacre said in future that errors would be rectified in a dedicated section printed on page two of the paper. The column will also be introduced for the Mail on Sunday and Metro newspapers.

After Full Fact disputed his claim earlier this year that the notion that papers “bury” corrections was “one of the great myths of our time,” Mr Dacre acknowledged to the Inquiry that the prominence of corrections was something that needed to be improved.

Furthermore, after Full Fact Director Will Moy questioned Mr Dacre on the move, the Mail editor committed to establishing a corrections@dailymail.co.uk email address through which the public can request corrections more swiftly and easily than they can at present.

If it wasn't for the headline the article would have been ok.
It does show that we're being monitored here by the press.....

"Cambridge graduate King started his career as a record company executive, discovering multi-million selling acts Genesis and 10cc, before becoming a pop singer"

This is almost correct. Almost.

"A corporation source said: "The BBC doesn't think it should be rewriting history so will be showing these programmes in their entirety.""

How can the BBC squeeze a 40 minute show in a 30 minute slot?

Re:JK in Daily Mail 12 Years, 6 Months ago  
The most amazing - and stupid - thing about all this is that by doing what they did, they actually publicised the whole story !

Would the world have come to an end if King had been featured on the show? I doubt it. Would there have been streams of complaints etc? I doubt that too.

By trying to be clever (and hoping no one would notice) they have publicised the very thing they were trying to hush-up !

It puts one off the idea of 'feedback'. It's good in theory, but in practice it seems to attract every troll in trolldom.

Ah but I adore winding up the brain dead. Getting that predictable moronic reaction; needling the idiots into monosyllabic insults and animal squeals - they never realise it's all done intentionally. Poke the stupids with sticks I say!
