I mean they get a practically free ride as it is, are the media really going to be holding this up against him if he decides in their favour?

 e: here's the blurb http://www.dpm.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/news/deputy-prime-minister-s-statement-house-commons-response-lord-justice-leveson-s-inquiry-culture Basically he's backing Leveson's recommendations by the looks of things, but it's not really a huge surprise. What would be a surprise is if it ended up meaning anything baka kaba fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Nov 29, 2012 |

Brown Moses posted:[Bozier] added: "I cut short a trip to the United States on the 6th [December] to request that the Metropolitan police carry out investigations into the alleged illegal acts. It's this kind of coordinated strategy and proactive dynamism that made MenschBozier the fiercely brilliant star it was, as it crossed our heavens all too briefly

Wouldn't be surprised if it's a broad term that could mean anything from a correction to an apology, and maybe a behind-the-scenes settlement. Which would basically be interpreted as a buried correction every time

StarkingBarfish posted:That shows how much I know- I thought it was zero content, but left leaning? Or am I getting mixed up with the Mirror? The Mirror is sometimes the only major paper (tabloid or not) that reports things about wealth inequality, the state of housing and its impact on the working class, calling the government out on their poo poo and so on. I think it's generally the tabloid of choice, if you have to have one The Star is just loving vicious Daily Star reporter quits in protest at tabloid's 'anti-Muslim' coverage http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/muslims-and-daily-star.html  (Guess what these two papers have in common!) I was going to post their recent front pages and leave it at that, but they're almost all about Big Brother. Almost every single day going back weeks and weeks e- here's the other EDL connection  (yet again, completely untrue)

Orange Devil posted:Yes I know all this but presumably this holds true for all countries everywhere, and yet to my knowledge it's primarily British news that has a daily tits forecast. Somehow it's become an institution. I mean the why isn't that hard to understand, it's soft porn in the newspaper for men to leer at, so it sells - and people resist any attempt to change it. It's not that unusual to see the pictures cut out and stuck on the wall in some workplaces, where there's no political correctness culture ruining everything. Honestly I think it's sort of an extension of the 'saucy seaside postcards'/Carry On thing which might also be a British phenomenon? It was always a sort of fresh-faced young smiling girl (sometimes 16 years old believe it or not) and some stupid oo-er cheeky blurb about how the woman has a certain job/hobby/interest so *related 'sexy' joke*, so it fits with that whole culture. Of course even in 2013 it's hard to actually push this back and get systematic objectified nudity out of a major newspaper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwpE9e_Rqkk "haw haw! The very idea!" (no idea why that's hosted on some UKIP guy's channel but hey)

"You come after us we go after your family" I can't believe they thought they'd win a PR war by getting even more personal. I saw some Mail spokesman claiming that Miliband is using his own family to attack the Mail, and how this is an awful thing to be doing. You couldn't make it up etc.

Answers Me posted:Uhh.. Print a censored version? Leak it onto the internet (weren't us guv)? Seems more like general harassment to be honest. Something to hold over her. I was going to ask if she'd done anything to anger the tabloids, or if they just hate Women and Equalities ministers in general (stupid question) but a quick internet search turned up the fact she used to be a TV presenter, she was one of FHM's 'sexiest women' or whatever, and I got a youtube result called 'mega cleavage' so yeah, it might be another case of women existing to be leered at. Even if they're underage (hello Charlotte Church)

thehustler posted:It's annoying because I like Cohen sometimes and his book is great but on this I couldn't disagree with him more. He goes on about the illegal side and how the police should have acted and the law used. Which is fine. But then he forgets that Leveson was also about morals and ethics as well, which clearly does need changing. You're not mixing him up with Nick Davies are you? I keep doing that and I don't know why TheHoodedClaw posted:The [...] Express [...] is just awful.

Shelf Adventure posted:That's the key here. Andy Coulson was either implicit or incompetent (neither of which reflect well on Cameron's choice to hire him.) Reminder that Cameron magically hired Coulson with less background checking than was standard for the post, even though he had access to material that required a higher security clearance, and then lied about it. For, oh, probably no reason

Verizian posted:Was all the evidence recovered though? I seem to remember the BBC reporting that security footage showed the same people who took away the laptop and bag o' porn also removed large black bin bags a few days earlier. Yeah, to get conspiracy theorist for a moment, you could say they disposed of the evidence and then brought it back specifically so this could be considered the full extent of what they had to hide. It's taken away and then 'recovered', conveniently in full view of a security camera, by 'bungling' professional security personnel. Cue an 'a-HA! What do we have here then' "ohnos it's a fair cop" discovery

When it comes to this kind of inquiry you'll have trouble finding anyone qualified to run it who's not a member of the elite, but that kind of heavily connected government and City background doesn't exactly scream public interest and independence. Less of a conflict of interest than the last one, but the perception is still important

goddamnedtwisto posted:Now that's a legit reason to object to her in that position. Just in a general sense, what kinds of qualifications does someone need to run this thing? I mean there'll be a team of specialists, including those people mentioned in support roles, people who actually deal with children and sexual abuse, other people advising, other people coordinating investigations and so on... what does the person at the top actually need to do that nobody else can?

Arsenic Lupin posted:I honestly thought that one was too lurid to have any possibility of being true. Holy gently caress. Is it really that surprising? I mean it's powerful elites in a high-risk situation secretly brutalising children, it's not really a major leap Daduzi posted:So I should feel happy but there's just no way to read these stories and feel anything remotely positive. And these are all long passed events so sadness and grief don't work either. Can't even bring myself to feel angry or shocked. What makes me feel a little better is that so much is coming out, it almost feels like a sea change in terms of public awareness and taking things seriously. Society needs some serious attitude adjustments, and realising exactly what goes on seems like an important step. These particular cases may be in the past, but abuse and trafficking are ongoing so, y'know, there are a lot of people who can still be helped

GreyjoyBastard posted:I'm going to regret this, but fire away. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/25/magazine/25SEXTRAFFIC.html The whole article's worth reading (in the heartbreaking 'knowing how terrible the world is' sense), but the stuff on page 8 section (with the 'damage group') is the kind of thing I'm talking about. There's people in very dark corners paying a lot of money to indulge any appetites they have, it's not like everyone's drawing a line at 'vanilla rape' or whatever, so it wouldn't surprise me if for whatever reason a kid ended up killed at one of these places

Can we get a devil's advocate on this? I'd like to hope there's at least some justification for voting it down - some flaw or loophole that the wording allows, that undermines the Act as a whole, so the amendment as it stood couldn't be passed? Anyone?
