Nov 30th, 2012 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Congratulations Think!!!!! I can not help but wonder at the irony in your choice of username. Normally it's the parents who give their child the name of “Angel” and “Sunbeam” etc, etc, etc when you know full well that the kid is a little toerag and a mean little s**t as well...... with that in mind your username is a perfect choice.
Always the first with the WRONG answer!!! That must be an awesome responsibility
Back on topic.......
“the press had at times “wreaked havoc with the lives of innocent people” and was sometimes guilty of “outrageous” behaviour”
We should enter Lord Justice Brian Leveson on mastermind you know....... and his specialist subject can be “The bl**ding obvious”
@2 wtf? do engage your brain before spouting sh*t???
Nov 30th, 2012 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0do you even know the background and the reason how this has even come about?, let me enlighten you a media group owned by rupert murdoch decided in all its wisdom to hack the mobile phone of a murdered child giving hope to the parents that she was still alive, also the parents of a missing child maddy and thousands of others all CRIMINAL acts, when the press breaks the law in such a terrible way the media has to be held to account which has massive public applause, and i agree the press should be regulated more to stop hanus breaches of privacy that is NOT in the publics interest.
so Think tell me this would you be happy for a media group to believe they are untouchable enough to the point of hacking your daughters phone when she is missing, making you believe she is still alive when in reality she is dead in some gutter, just for a quick story??? thought not....
your censorship & dictatorship jibe is just opportunistic baseless rhetoric and so far from the truth, its not like any opposing media to the UK government is being force to change ownership to a more favorable owner, now is it?? unlike some Arg media.
ask Argentinas Clarin media about dictatorship and censorship :)))) .......cabbage!
CLARIN the only real opposition voice is being forced by Crustina to sell to Arg government friendly buyer, now thats dictorship for you dont you “think”,
correct me if im wrong at any point think???
if you believe Uk is heading for dictatorship and censorship then you must have plenty to say about Crustinas regime and her CLARIN harrassment, at least UKs minimial regulating is brought about by overwheling public pressure and not by Arg governments own interests!!!
Milly dowler............McCanns........remember there names troll when you next spout crap! ;-)
You can't institute censorship in a society that already is told whatever their leaders and bankers want to tell them.
Nov 30th, 2012 - 11:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 i agree, and when argentinas government realizes what it is doing is non democratic the better, here in the UK our democratic media slates everyone especially leaders and banks , and rightly so, nobody is safe not even murdered children, glad this decision was made its not as if it was political choice like Crustinas Agenda with Clarin is it??
Dec 01st, 2012 - 02:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0this regulation is based on human rights and morals heavily supported by the public and not of one persons political vendetta!
But please nostril tell us about CLARIN and what Crustina is trying to do ?? :)))

Dec 01st, 2012 - 09:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Am against new legislation, the laws the press breached in the phone hacking and libel scandals (joanne Yates Landlord) are already in place and punishable by criminal conviction or civil conviction. Whats would any new law really achieve, the, what really needs to be done is for the press to be brought back to rights each time they breach the law and jornalist themselves made to face court! The laws are already there in place, they apply to all of us even the press! All this new legislation will do is create a two tier system, one for the press and one for the rest of us and i see abosolutely no benefit in that at all, i see only the oppurtunity for it to be abused by those in poweer to hide what they do not want us to know, by scaring journalists and the press into not printing it through fear!

Dec 01st, 2012 - 10:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes but how many “investigations” did Scotland Yard conduct into the phone hacking scandal? 2 or 3? How many people have been arrested AND CHARGED over phone hacking?
The press needs regulating, there already IS a 2 tier system, there is the press that can do what it likes and then there is there rest of us. whatever regulations / watchdogs the press have had to answer to in the passed have either :-
a/ Not worked
or
b/ Not been doing their jobs properly
Don't get me started on the Camer-moron and his failures..... I haven't got enough space to list them all here, but I will say this....... We have paid for this enquiry. It was taxpayers money that paid for it.
Lord Justice Brian Leveson has presented his report WHICH the government ASKED for. During this case, statements of wrong doing, serious wrong doing, were heard by all...... and if Piers Morgan was telling the truth when he gave evidence then I'll eat a plaster goose.
If you are then not going to act on the recommendations in this report ( paid by us, requested by Parliment ) then why bother at all?
You Brutish Turnips in here are sooo brainwashed......
Dec 01st, 2012 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are constantly banging about principles, events and occurrences you obviously don't have a clue about as, for example….:
The Freedom of the Press in Argentina……
The Self-Determination rights of some British Squatting Individuals in the South Atlantic…..
The current Levenson Report and the British Palestine Vote in the UN clearly demostrate the Masterly Doublespeak of the British Government….
And..... As I just said in a previous post……:
A relative “common occurrence” as the murder of a pair of young female gingers during the last decade or so (Duly processed by the Tabloid Pres and avidly consumed by the public) is enough excuse, for you British Turnips, to throw the principle of Freedom of the Press out of the window……
Brainwash anybody?
Think.
Dec 01st, 2012 - 10:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0For me this is all about how the press obtains its information, not how or what it publishes, there are laws for that already, libel and defamation.
In the Milly DOWLER case, an agent acting on their behalf, hacked and cleared the inbox on her missing mobile phone. Giving her parents hope, where there was none, that she was still alive! That is dispicable behaviour beyond contempt and that is only one instance we know about.
They clearly can not be trusted to self regulate their investigative behaviour,
so it is time that body, with teeth, regualtes their behaviour for them.

@18 But whos to blame for letting them get away with! The police for not investigating, or the goevernment who receives substantial donors from those who own the press - The laws cover the action of the press too, so why were they not been fully enforced, why where the press allowed to get away with so long without the law being used to bring them down to earth, thats the real question!

Exactly and when this has all blown over, we will be back where we were before the enquiry, unless steps are taken. Bugging, hacking, interception and theft of mail, impersination, long lense photography into private areas, etc,etc, etc.

Oh think, think!! Your posts are confused and out of touch that I bet you don't even know what your point is.......... what do you say about now? oh yeah... Chuckle, chuckle.........
So Cameron sets up this inquiry that sits for a year and a half and all the justified outrage at Murdoch' phone hacking is put on ice during it, it costs the taxpayer a lot of the money that Cameron the cutter keeps saying we don't have, it comes out with a report and recommendations at the modest end of the criticism of the press that it could make, the bl**ding obvious indeed, and Cameron immediately announces he won't do as it advises. A bit of a waste, huh?!
Dec 02nd, 2012 - 02:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now Liberty get on board, you guessed it, the recommendations of the report would breach the Human Rights Act. How does stopping some scum bag journalist from hacking my mobile phone or computer, breach his fucking human rights!!!!!! Unfucking believable!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 02nd, 2012 - 02:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We signed up to act to prevent detention without law and trial, torture etc, etc and now it has been totally misused by the PC brigade, get rid of it, repeal it. Replace it with something it was intended to be.
If the press can voluntarily agree to operate a clean business why are they so opposed to the agreement being enshrined in law.They will then have a level playing field and not create a situation were the big corporations,with well financed legal departments can bend the rules or pay the consequences of a failure.

Dec 02nd, 2012 - 06:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@19 What “Freedom of the Press in Argentina……”? Strange how you come to a site published in Uruguay.
@21 “Tell me about what you “REALLY KNOW” about the Freedom of the Press in Argentina……” Why are you coming to a site published in Uruguay? Why is your “government” constantly interfering in the press and other media? Why does CFK constantly take over the media for boring hours of screeching? If you've got a “free press” why do economists who publish the TRUE facts about the argie economy get banned, prosecuted and fined? Why does your “free press” publish so many untruths?
“Tell me about what you “REALLY KNOW” about the Self-Determination rights of some British Squatting Individuals in the South Atlantic…..”
That's easy. There are NO “British Squatting Individuals in the South Atlantic…..” On the other hand, there ARE over 40 million delusional genocidal war criminals on the east coast of South America. But it's not a problem. They are “under control”. Economically, they are impotent. And they know what would happen to them if they tried anything “forceful”.

I think you've missed the point here.... There should be no “Getting away with it” It shouldn't have happened in the first place. The fact that they did “Get away with it” means that whatever controls were put in place did not do their job properly.
To illustrate my point about the “One law for one and one law for another” did you know that The Sun printed how many days it would be until Emma Watson's 16th Birthday?
To say that I was shocked and revolted by this was an understatement. Who could possibily be interested in that? Unless you are a pervert. Regulation of the press needs to happen. End of
