Little, or no truth, then bin it! It should never be allowed to influence live situations, without democratic logic and truth first, in it's content. And, No! This would not harm Free Speech! It would just remove possible damage to a good, and truthful cause.Normannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-12726479160873705502009-12-08T15:17:25.710+00:002009-12-08T15:17:25.710+00:00I left prison to go to a bail hostel, (long story)...I left prison to go to a bail hostel, (long story) but it wasn't that bad, it was a shared flat, with another ex-cookham wood woman. We got on well, the staff came in only 3 days a week, for about 15 mins. Nothing says you can't go out during the day for a drink, or whatever. We were tagged, and had to be in at 6.45. And 8 months after i got my own council flat. ( i know other people who have been on the list 11 years) You get extra points for living in a hostel, (being homeless) so it's not all bad Ben.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-36107425902418100242009-12-08T09:29:23.588+00:002009-12-08T09:29:23.588+00:00An excellent post today.

It's about how declining standards of journalism mean that a massive portion of what we read is either lies or PRTonkatsunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-30907916233323265422009-12-08T09:25:20.624+00:002009-12-08T09:25:20.624+00:00A very cogent piece - well done!A very cogent piece - well done!Abaddon the scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665505517559409237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-45288944590107869872009-12-08T04:24:16.795+00:002009-12-08T04:24:16.795+00:00This article belongs in the Guardian.

I hope they see this and publish it.<br /><br />This is just one more example of the depths to which journalism has sunk nowadays. The rot runs deep - science reporting is my personal bugbear but this shows it is as bad in other places as well.<br /><br />We haven't quite sunk to the levels of the American press and I hope it will be a while before we get our own Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh. It won't be long if standards don't improve though.Wigarsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230520227527547502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-88786830111357287322009-12-07T22:57:03.966+00:002009-12-07T22:57:03.966+00:00I'd make newspapers write their 'stories&#...I'd make newspapers write their 'stories' with Harvard referencing like we do for essays at Uni then people could check before swallowing their BS.Gainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495953058626656188noreply@blogger.com
