Makes me froth at the mouth. I've sent my complaints into the Mail about this nonsense. I'd urge you all to do the same.

Beats me how any editor worth his/her salt, would employ such a person, never mind print it. :twisted:

Hey folks, this is a member of the esteamed press we are slating here! Don't be so nasty. They really are fighting for our rights against the opression of the government. I totally believe in everything they happen to put down in print!


Sorry, I've just removed my rose tinted glasses


Hey folks, this is a member of the press we are talking about here! Why let the truth get in the way of a good headline, when they can sit in their air conned offices where the lights are left on all night ?


Oops. truth beer strikes again!

For your ewntertainment... my comments...

This is incredible... I trust Ms Parkin is actually a stand in YTS person with no journalistic qualifications.

I'm sure the other proffesional journalists at the Daily Mail are aghast at the lack of research, un-qualifyable, un-provable and downright innacurate statements in this article never mind the personal insults aimed at owners/drivers of this particular marque of vehicle.

I do hope that in recompense the Daily MAil sends the individual responsible for this piece to an appropriate institution (read into that what you will) where some proffesionalism can be injected with a big needle... in a location I would prefer to leave to your imagination.

We have freedom of speech in the west, we have freedom of choice, but with those freedoms come responsibilities (oh no... the journalists are shouting me down again). Yes it's fair to challenge key issues and I'll stand up for your right to do so. However, in order to challenge you MUST have facts, not evangelistic rantings.

Mine neither... though there was a message saying that they'd be screened before being posted... perhaps mine was a little too personal for them....  **Slaps head as only Homer can....** Wait a cotton pickin minute.... the article was too personal in nature...!

**Feels a letter to the editor coming**

Here's mine.

I find it bewildering that so many people would wish to read the views of someone who confesses to making lifestyle choices based on what she hopes people will like her for, let alone employ them. How you can write about your own views if you have none? Perhaps this 'please everyone at the expense of the facts and generally act like a mindless sheep' approach will encroach on all of society. It will certainly make things like policing decidedly more interesting.
I will be happy to read your OWN views when you grow up and get some, until then I'll stick to LRO.
