Hillsborough would be an extremely tough sell imo because while it was a massive and deplorable cover-up, to the people who don't like football they will still believe that all football fans are violent hooligans and to fans of other football teams there is still a pervasive feeling that Liverpool has a massive victim complex. You will notice that while the football subforum on this site is pretty much universally in agreement that the cover-up was a terrible thing and people need to answer for the things they did, if you go to somewhere like say Red Cafe or a Leeds fan site you will see people still believing it was unticketed scousers stomping on children and looting corpses.

Brown Moses posted:Good piece from Neil Chenoweth, who was working with me on a major story that didn't quite make it, which is somewhat related to the article, Skulduggery on the good ship Murdoch. Do you happen to know how much content in the book isn't currently in the public domain? I will get a copy for my father but I was wondering if its worth me buying one for myself too.

Temascos posted:The Hacking Scandal has officially become the Duracell Battery of scandals, it just keeps going and going on. It's also the first time I have heard about this attempted "smear" camapaign about the health of tory officials, it's such a non-issue as I'm sure they have personal doctors watching them every step of the way, why risk a scandal over that? Perhaps the health issue was freebasing.

In case you were wondering which side Borris was on he stepped up with this delightful articlebozzer posted:You know I don’t want to be more at odds than usual with public opinion; but I have just read the Leveson Report – all four volumes of horror – and my first reaction is that the British press is really rather magnificent. Every paper, virtually without exception, can claim to be running at least one good and original campaign against some abuse, and some of them run several at once. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9718041/It-is-the-web-not-the-press-that-must-be-brought-under-control.html

Nothing will happen to Brooks & co I would have thought DC would do everything in his power to divest himself of Newscorp and the Brooks at this point, otherwise its a tailor made attack ad by Labor of 'Would you vote for a man who helped hack a dead girl's mobile?'

There are plenty of idiots who watch English football who still believe the sequence of events as published by the sun. Maggie did a lot to damage the reputation of football in England and it is not at all shocking that Hillsborough was pushed the way it was as a method of gentrifying the game and pushing the poor out. The other side of the coin though is Heysel which tends to get papered over.

highme posted:It could also depend on the employer. I realize it's US vs UK, but I work for a corporation with UK employees as well. I was in the jury selection pool for a federal trial that could have taken a few weeks. I got $80ish per day from the feds & my regular pay from my employer for the 2 days I was there. I did jury duty here in Aus about a month ago and I was getting 136AUD per day which included my transport costs and a 15AUD lunch allowance. For anyone with an employer they gave a cheque for the base rate to the employer then the employer paid the worker their full wage for the duration of the trial. As a subcontractor I was SOL and just got the 136 a day.

Darth Walrus posted:So someone on another site is arguing that whilst IPSO is an obviously corrupt puppet of the media companies, its extended powers still mark an improvement, and it's better than government intrusion into the workings of the press via the royal charter. Part of this is because, he says, IPSO and the IPCC are largely unnecessary anyway - the law can deal with the illegal stuff, and our libel laws are sufficiently biased in favour of the claimant to provide a solid counter against the merely unethical stuff. Defamation cases are terrible methods for resolving damages because they take ages, cost more money than most people can realistically afford and rarely adequately right the initial wrong. Just say the Sun ran a story saying every boat I had ever worked on had sunked killing all hands. For the entire duration of the trial I would be unemployable and the eventual correction would be so poo poo that I would have to hope the damages could support me for the rest of my life.

Sounds like English jury duty is luxury. While waiting for a trial in the cattle pens we had no wifi but decent 4g signal but once I got onto a trial we had to surrender anything with a wifi connection at the start of every day. It might have had something to do with the trial I was on though which was a real media circus and had the judge give orders to punish reporters who were trying to film us leaving the court.

Grundulum posted:I don't think it's that large a fraction of the general population, but rather a surprisingly large fraction of the ruling class of England. I wonder how much of it is attributable to the fact that most of the people in question (a) are men, and (b) come from the English upper class. British aristocracy (at least historically) sent their children to boarding schools, at least some of which were all-male. Spending one's prepubescent and pubescent years in the almost exclusive company of boys seems like it could have unintended consequences. Its not just the English elite raping kids. Its a problem everywhere as demonstrated by Australia currently doing a massive investigation, Denmark having done one in the past and others mentioned upthread.

Zombywuf posted:Then why were they presented to a jury in the first place? Either the barristers failed to challenge the relevance of the evidence when it was given or the judge considered the relevance of the evidence and decided it was appropriate to be heard. Also you should never let juries hear questions of law be argued because you may prejudice them in the way they view the case as a result of an argument that has no bearing on the evidence. If the jury does need directions on how to interperate the evidence and how it pertains to the charges then the judge will give the jury instructions when they are needed.
