i thought she was having a press confrence i waited up for 4 hours for nothing!!!!

She was only going to carry on b*tching anyway. Maybe she should find a book to read - oh wait, she sold it, didn't she?

She was still Tweeting Bile at nearly 4 am her time. Obviously couldn't wait for the dirt so she could Tweet about that. What a pity it never happened.

Do they seriously think that the PM hasn't had assorted spooks take a look at the disappearance of Madeleine McCann?

The hounders don't KNOW how the services work, do they? If they did, they would quit making fools of themselves?

@muratfan We reported Cameron's side. You need to see fine detail of the report. Best wait for our report on the report re #McCann tomorrow.

Who on earth does he think he is, telling people to wait to be told what they think of the report? He does know people can read it for themselves?

I am a bit pissed off with him. He can surely see how badly The PCC have failed, so is he doing this to somehow allow half of the recommendations?
And if he wasn't going to like what he got from Leveson then why have it in the first place?

Maybe playing politics, Sabot, waiting to see the mood of the public? There does seem to be near-unanimous agreement that the press cannot go on like this.

Well he certainly won't get any sense out of The Press, so he will have to look to Public Opinion, which apart from the Forkers and Shit Bags who slag off anyone, is looking on the side of Lord Leveson. The General Public don't want that sort of Free Speach because they don't need it.

Is he simply struggling with the worries that the free press could be a thing of the past if it becomes government regulated? If regulation is what he is concerned about?

I thought some of Leveson's ideas seemed sound?

Yes, especially the million-pound fine for misconduct; that's enough to hurt them, and doesn't make it financially worthwhile to use false stories to sell copies.

It'll take a day or two for the dust to settle.

I don't think there is any plan for it to be Government Regulated, Lily. God forbid that. But on reflection, exactly who is going to do it?

I do like The Million Pound Fine. So long as most of it goes to The Victims and not The Government.

Thank God that you don't want state regulations, Sabot. The suggestion was for a beefed up independent regulator? If so, let's hope and pray that this will work well.

I thought this was a good article.


Leveson Inquiry: Sharing alarm bells with a prime minister

3:36pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in From The Editor's Chair By Peter Barron


Prime Minister David Cameron makes his statement to the Commons following the findings of the Leveson Inquiry
IT speaks volumes that a Conservative prime minister should have alarm bells ringing over any state interference in the press.

I thought David Cameron was impressive in his response to Leveson. He made it clear that the status quo is not an option, that Leveson has laid down a way forward, but he draws the line at the moment on the proposed "underpinning" by legislation.

He describes it as a "crossing of the rubicon" which we should be very careful about - and he's right. They are the same alarm bells going off in my head.


What the PM seems to be saying is that legislation may not be necessary if the press comes together behind the main recommendations of Leveson - for a beefed-up independent regulator. The question is: Will it?

I said on Wednesday that the price for retaining self-regulation would be an all-inclusive independent system. If the press fails to agree to it, then the alternative is much worse - state regulation. I know which one I'd prefer.

Ed Miliband says there are no more last chance saloons for the press and we should move straight to the Leveson model in its entirety. Hold on, Mr Miliband - don't forget you're talking about a minority who've been drinking in the last chance saloon, and this decision will affect every journalist.

We have a firm proposal on the table for an independent regulatory body - let's see how the newspaper industry reacts to it, in an established timescale, before deciding whether we really should cross the rubicon.

I don't want The Government any where near this, Lily. Biggest bunch of shit bags ever. No, it has got to be independent, but I am not sure how they will achieve that.

Well done Mrs. McCann.

God, the spite and hatred is dripping out of them. It's very disturbing.

Isn't it just? And despite what happened with the diary being laid out clearly by Lord Leveson, this forker repeats a LIE:


Hi Eli. I just have a memory that one paper paid for it but another 'acquired' it, and it was the acquiring one that caused all the personal angst. The other that paid well that was ok. So it wasn't the matter of it being her very private personal diary, it was that there was no money forthcoming.

The only person 'paid' for the diary was whichever disgrace to Portugal it was who sold one of the police copies to CdM, after a judge ordered them all to be destroyed and the diary returned.

Now, how is that going to look when Gonc is in the dock? He was in charge when the diary was siezed.

Good finds, thanks, Pedro.

Do you think this is simple enough for the forkers to understand? Lord Leveson stated, of the diary:

The diary was seized by the PJ in August 2007 pursuant
to its investigations, but the Portuguese court ordered its return to Dr McCann, as well as the
destruction of all copies in its possession. The PJ had translated the diary into Portuguese and
unfortunately one of the copies of the translated version found its way into the hands of a
Portuguese journalist.

You welcome bb1, I agree with you.

Now, who do the McCann-haters think had a version of the diary translated by the Portuguese police - BESIDES SOMEONE IN THE PORTUGUESE POLICE?

It isn't difficult or complicated; someone close to the PJ sold a copy they illegally retained.

No one else outside of The PJ could have had access to Kate's Diaries. These Diaries were Translated by the PJ and the copy that was sold was in Portuguese. It had to be The PJ, There is no other explanation.

The copy obtained by The News of The World had be translated back into English and this was proven by the fact that not all of the words were identical to what Kate had written.

PJ> CdM> News of The World.

I don't think these people can read....

@Plukosevic Thank you, yes, it does say it all, not 1 senior UK person has ever said Madeleine #McCann was abducted, so what else!

So, what's this, then?

3.2 Madeleine McCann was abducted from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on
3 May 2007, shortly before her fourth birthday

The report repeatedly refers to Madeleine's abduction; don't tell me the forkers and hounders have a Dodgy Report to match their Dodgy Translations?

marilyn ‏@mazmac54
Can someone remind me how the NOW got hold of Kate #McCann 'intensely personal' diary?

Yup; someone in Team Gonc swiped a police translation.

Next!
