You’d have done it for half that?

Bravo, that takes me all the way back to the eighties.

It’s not often recognised these days! Well done Sir!

I hope you don’t suffer too much from the absolute gangbanging you’re going to get when you’re told to get the coffees in at work.

Easily one of the best sentences in NSC history

Easily one of the best sentences in NSC history

Thank you. Not one I ever expected to write, to be honest.

“Rich Man Watches Porn”
The world was shocked today to learn that a man in his early 60s had watched pornography via the internet.

Our survey on the street today showed that precisely 0% of those surveyed had ever watched pornography via the internet, and were horrified that somebody might misuse the benign, notoriously kind technology for such a terrible purpose.

“I’ve only ever used the internet to donate to charities.” claimed Fergus, 19.

Another of those surveyed, who chose not to give their name, admitted “I do like looking at ****s, I’ve set my homepage to Conservative Home.”

I may have used the internet to research some tractors and then accidentally accessed the wrong website……

One of the most surreal moments last night was watching another "news" presenter live on air as a massive story broke with direct allegations.

The Guardian have finally reported it now.

Sun and Mail publishers examine claims against journalist Dan Wootton

It’s easily done, you type in “something to plough” and it takes you down an unexpected pathway.

I was going to say down an unexpected rabbit hole, but that could lead to even more disturbing search results.

Is he back yet? Here is the ten o'clock noose.

Responds. I pass no judgement.

Not Dan Wootton.
Say it ain’t so.

As a rule I am uncomfortable with somebody's reputation getting trashed via unproven (so far) allegations and the actions of a twitter mob.
There are however, exceptions to every rule. In this case, the exception being based on it happening to someone that has led countless twitter mobs himself, ruining (and in one case ending) peoples lives and all for the worst possible of reasons - money and ego.

Rarely has so much Schaden been Freuded.

Ooh let me then! What a load of sanctimonious, duplicitous, unironic bollocks spoken by someone who, from the little I've seen, is a vile individual who has no hesitation in attacking anyone else with little or no evidence, has the morals of Donald Trump and seeks to defend the likes of Rees-Mogg and Laurence Fox and the gutter scraping Sun. He can frankly stew in this cesspit of his own making whether the allegations are true or not.

He also looks like a wrong 'un. That's not normally good enough for me. But given the other data....

Burn him. BURN him!

A polarised debate which has probably run its course now. We should let poor Huw rebuild his life/career/reputation in the comfort and sanctity of the Priory and move onto more important issues.

Not sure that's ever happened on here...

I really really don’t care about what he does. But watching him squirm is delicious viewing. A terrible man.

That's the thing that people who side with the likes of GB News/Wooton(or Branning) – they think that it's double standards to call out him, but not, say, Edwards or Schofield. When, in reality, it's merely a case of highlighting the hypocrisy on show.

I caught a bit of his nauseating monologue earlier, but couldn't stomach it. He knows the game's up so is going for the sympathy vote. Trouble is, one look at Twitter and you can see that it's working with some people!

Interesting editorial decision to let him go on air to present his story unchallenged. Imagine the fury if the BBC had let Huw Edwards go live on News at Ten and go “The Sun are all c*nts and they can swivel on it”?

 

[clapham_gull]

Gone quite surreal today and again I am passing no judgement.



On another note, you can look on byline times twitter to see what they have claimed to have happened to a member of staff this morning. They are drawing no relationship between the events. It's all a bit strange.

It's all turning into a huge melodrama played outside between two media organisations outside of the big players.
