Individual shops not selling it is fine, but I'm uncomfortable with orders to not sell it from other agencies. <br /><br />On the other hand, the Sun has a massive role in making the UK the insular, xenophobic, scared, distrustful, sexist, backwards looking place it is rapidly turning in to. It is responsible for a lot of genuine misery in peoples lives, and it a truelly detestable thing. <br /><br />So, as I said, torn.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see <i>the Scum</i> and all similar rags driven out of business. Then its lapdog employees could get on their bikes and look for work in Sheffield.

That is unacceptable.<br /><br />On the whole subject of newspapers, what we need is a licencing system with a proper tough independent regulator, not an utterly bent one in the pockets of the industry like IPSO. First instance of making something up, licence gets taken away for a week. Second instance, it's taken for a month. Etc. <br /><br />You'd see a remarkable improvement in the accuracy of things printed if that was implemented. wildcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14945103241788224908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-83990792615126010662016-09-06T20:51:57.357+01:002016-09-06T20:51:57.357+01:00That McKenzie geezer is one hideous cretin.

B...Satchwell is right. It IS a form of censorship.<br /><br />But it's a form of censorship in favour of decency and fairness.<br /><br />The kind of decency Satchwel and his "Society of Editors" obviously lack. The cowardly bastards.<br /><br />Well in, everybody on Merseyside. If the rest of the nation showed similar long term courage this country wouldn't be the spiv-ridden shit hole it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
