Mailwatch(ed) Forum

As a wash of background colour for younger Mailwatchers, the fashy end of the press - mail and terrorgraph, especially - always did well when Labour were in office. They would incite their readership who would keenly lap it up; ergo, more money from their willing marks.

I fear that this is going to happen again but that it will take us to margins we have not seen before. That incitement will drive the manufactured anger to online platforms where all hell will break loose. Of course, only the consequential actions will be actionable under current law, but this needs to be nipped in the bud before the casual killings start.

Some will have their doubts as to the mettle of the perennially startled Lisa Nandy at DCMS. Personally, I don't. I am pretty confident that she will be able to marshall m'learned troops towards Leveson 2 and a framework for decent, responsible journalism.

An outcome to be most devoutly hoped for.

Here's an early entry. Talks with EU leaders, fuck.

Bozo and Glen Owen are doing the holding to account.

Needs more Leveson

Christ, arch liar and major architect of Tory catastrophe throwing Hayek around ('ooo fancy book learning' when it suits, right?) after DECADES OF EU MEMBERSHIP that curiously didn't result in serfdom.

Learned anything? Not one iota. Nothing.
