Edwin Greenwood said...: "The Mail has manipulated the mainpicture to remove some of the content of the message."

This statement is the scariest element of this episode. Is the Burton Mail being scrupulously honest about its deception or are they simply totally comfortable that they are doing right in censoring the evidence in the name, presumably, of "social cohesion"?

It's reminiscent of Neathergate. Neather wasn't whistleblowing when he let the cat out of the bag about the Labour Government deliberately flooding the country with Third World immigrants in the names of multiculturalism and annoying the Tories. He simply mentioned it in passing as a perfectly reasonable and respectable factoid.; 17 December 2009 at 10:19
