[News] Daily Express

[vegster]

And this is worse. At least with the Brighton one it was an unedited picture of Brighton. With James Cracknell, they've photoshopped someone into a photo for the sake of creating a news story.

Desperate and contemptuous in equal measure.

What is beneath contempt id the fact that it is James Cracknell, Olympic gold medallist and all round Good Guy ! I could fully understand it if they tried to stitch up a soap star or minor tv celeb that they don't like.

Apologies - you are absolutely correct. That will teach me to blather without doing my research.

Lord Rothermere....so indeed the Mirror has even less credibility as a labour paper than even I gave it credit.

The Daily Worker was indeed the Morning Star.

Guess its credibility depends on how long the original ownership is held against them. It's been Labour-supporting since the 1945 landslide, so there can't be many people still around who were readers when it was getting flirty with fascism. Think 75 years is more than enough penance, personally.

Isn't that what Klaus Barbie said when they finally nicked him?

I thought it was the Mail, though, that ran 'thoughtful' articles about 'nice' Mr Hitler and the 'Jewish Question'?

Never forgive, never forget, is my motto, even if I don't properly know what I'm talking about

According to the Roy Greenslade piece, the Mirror ran the same article written by Rothermere that was headlined "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" in the Mail, but with a slightly less approving headline (Give the Blackshirts a Helping Hand).

Wow. It was the blackshirts marching with Mosely in his armoured car down Tooley Street that drove my dad, age 15, to join the communist party. His best pal was Jewish, but the main reason, he told me (I paraphrase) was that Mosely came across as a pompous bullying coward (in today's parlance, a cockjuggling gold-plated thundercunt) in his armoured car. Shameful days. But I digress.

Just out of curiosity, is The Express lying? Has Priti Patel not in fact warned people about breaking the restrictions? Just asking ........................

She was pleased shop lifting was on the decline

It wasn't faked.

Still a bit of a misrepresentation by using a telephoto lens........would look very different from above.

Also using all the vacant space in the foreground and to the side and above with the headline and using the compressed area with people free ...giving the illusion of crowds?...look at the two photos side by side and they give a different impression...some may say they’ve been clever

Similar problem with this article in Denmark. Same street, same people, different angle.

Aye, there's been a lot of that.

Still a very different accusation to intentionally using a year-old photo.

It is, yes.

I saw what Rob wrote in Twitter and was unsure as to whether he was correct.

But the fact remains that using an out of date photo, or a deliberate distortion are the same thing. A dishonest representation.

I don't have a problem with a reduction in shoplifting. Do you?


Really?

It's ironic that the article there doesn't tell the truth about Rob's apology....

It only quotes half his Tweet. The second half says sorry.

The point being 95% of the shops have been shut for 6 weeks

What proof have we that the photo is old?

As I said the rubbish/recycling bin went in in November. The cranes were their this morning as my hazy photo shows. The photo the Express used may not have been this weekend but likely to have been during lockdown. It’s my doorstep and it does get that busy at random times.

Only interested in dating the photo no other shitfest arguing please.

Interesting article here about the use of perspective and different types of lenses.

Interesting and shows how flawed it is to use photographs as 'proof' of people not social distancing.
