I posted about this sometime during the day on Sunday, but was unable to get back online in the evening to see whether other members shared my outrage.

I apologise to those who read it/commented before but, with the demise of yesterday's posts and replies, I am reposting it and would welcome the views of others.

As yesterday, the general gist in reply to your post was;...(and the tone of today's post is completely different)

Of course its an outrage(?iirc? Words to that effect)as its a Nickbat post. They always are. ...and... One day the angry smileys will run out.


Sigh... Just join in instead of dragging us all into the pits of hell.




That, as you asked, was all really

[MR MISTER]

I've just read this:

See. That's much better

I've just read this:

www.telegraph.com/Gixer gets his knob out in Reading town centre   

Two items on South Today reminded me of summat...

1. A&E departments have started trialing GP consultations to help screen patients so the emergency trauma teams can concentrate on their jobs.

2. A PC was mown whilst trying to sting a black car in the Reading area, (ok it wasn't an Omega)

Coincidences or what

Wasn't me, I was in the curry house, and the couple meeting us there where stuck on the M4 which was closed both ways as a result of. Lower Early way runs parallel to the m4 on that section.
3 people charged with attempted murder.

Wasn't seriously suggesting it was but the A&E story was on first... which got the grey cells' attention

I balance light-hearted posts (see the "missing posts" thread) with some serious ones. So, yes, I do join in.

If you think posting about serious issues is "dragging us all into the pits of hell", then I must disagree with you. This chat is for General Discussion, not just what you want to read.

Whilst a serious matter .. I think "outrageous" is somewhat an "outrageous" headline ..

1. The matter occurred way back in 2012 .. so why suddenly go ballistic over it ?? ... headline making to sell papers IMHO

2. Knowing the way the Family Division works this will have taken some considerable Court time, with many legal and moral arguments at the time .. that the paper has no knowledge of (and apparently no interest in)

3. It has already been established that the Italian Courts were involved and agreed with the UK Courts

4. It appears that there are already 2 more children that the Italian courts have removed from this woman as she is incapable of looking after them

But NEVER, EVER let the truth get in the way of the outrage bus a good selling headline, because .. only sales count.. the truth is out there but it doesn't matter

I'd like to highlight the words balance, and general.

And remember, you did ask.

Hence the constantly "outrageous" headlines in the "Daily Fail to give a balanced view to much more general stories". There is always another side. ...much less outrageous once the full story is made clear.

Its also, constant, with no rest. Ever. No balance or general involved. Coincidence?

I don't buy a newspaper any more. No need.

Ah, I see some humour has returned in another topic. Let's hope that continues

Ffs, that's what happens when trying to be polite. I refrained from posting that in post#2
