[joebloggs]

well dedworth :wink:

The Daily Mail was guilty of publishing "absurd" and "entirely untrue" stories about Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants, a member of the government has said.

[Dedworth]

I wouldn't believe a word said in the Huffington Post - the political director is muslim extermist Mehdi Hasan. I'm disappointed you're standing up for mass immigration from these feral rogue states Joe :crazy:

[joebloggs]

i think you'll find the Huff post are only reporting what Lord Wallace of Saltaire said, so is the mail making up stories, they been sued for it b4 :NoNo:

[Jamesey]

This doesn't surprise me at all.

It doesn't take much research to find half facts and poorly conducted surveys upon which the Daily Mail bases its sensationalist headlines.

Oops.

Half the forum is based on those stories. :icon_lol:

Obviously I don't buy silly things like newspapers.:biggrin:

[KeithD]

The articles in the Mail seem to be written by idiots who have no idea of what grammar and punctuation is. A monkey using an article spinner could do better.

[gWaPito]

There's method in their madness..They purposely dumb it down

[Iani]

Maybe they have made this up, maybe they haven't, but frankly does anyone for a second believe a quote from a LibDem on this would be unbiased?

I'd be more inclined to believe a turkey telling me Christmas was a bad idea and not to bother with it.

This liberal trough feeder specifically quotes a line about an airline doubling it's flights from Romania to UK - the Mail names them as Wizz Air - I'm sure the company would issue a statement if this was untrue. This article (November) confirms that Sleazy Jet have started operating the route and that Wizz have increased their capacity

Once again the Daily Hate Mail prints the truth :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[joebloggs]

i think your taking the Wizz dedworth :icon_lol:, how many planes have they got, it looks like they doubled their one flight a week to 2 flights a week :laugher:

how many times has the Mail been sued for libel :biggrin:

You'll know Joe if the Limp Dem & Wizz Air have any actions pending :biggrin:

I, for one, would be inclined to concur with a turkey telling me Christmas was a bad :idea:. It IS ... financially!

[Arthur Little]

I used to regularly buy the local "rag" ... the 'Perthshire *Advertiser'. But it's only published twice weekly, so tends to lag behind the times in reporting daily events throughout the town & county - especially with Obituary Notices - meaning the deceased are often "planted or burnt" before their deaths are even announced. :cwm24: And, of course, at over £1 for each edition, it is simply not worth the outlay (pun intended!) for a newspaper consisting, for the most part - as *its title implies - of advertisements.

Besides ... :anerikke: ... items of national & international interest can be easily found on the internet FREE of charge! :biggrin:

[matt-wilkie]

I have the misfortune of people sitting next to me telling me the stories in the Mail :doh but truth isn't something they seem to go for. Or is it just removing the facts in a manipulative way? Either way the only use I can recommend for the rag is toilet paper. :ReadIt:

[Dedworth]

I've always found the Guardian aka House Journal of the Publicly Funded Left unbeatable in that respect

[Trefor]

I browse the Daily Mail and The Guardian online. These newspapers (news sites?) are targeted at two polar opposites of the political spectrum. I enjoy the articles in both, and understand the bias they will have been written with. I especially enjoy reading the comments on Guardian articles, gives me a giggle seeing people getting so wound up.

I read a similar report today also.

[Dedworth]

This report only cites direct operators between the Balkans & UK. It is a spurious claim doesn't include

a) as Graham says coming over in their own unroadworthy and uninsured cars - which is the favoured method for most Eastern Europeans

b) Eurostar

c) Those criminal parasites coming here from other EU states ie gangs of shoplifters, pickpockets, atm scammers, prostitutes, and beggars doing the rounds of Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Rome, Frankfurt etc

[Dedworth]

It must be true Joe it's in the Sunday Mirror :biggrin: :-



Uncovered: Shocking investigation reveals sex trade in girls bought in Romania and sold as prostitutes in Britain

[grahamw48]

Well I do have 2 spare bedrooms. :Erm:

[joebloggs]

all these full planes that landed in Jan were full of sex slaves, why didn't the mail mention this at the time :doh

[Dedworth]

The scoop is from the Mirror loved by you & Andy Joe not the Mail :smile:, the whores are probably trafficked in via the routes I mentioned earlier....

[joebloggs]

i don't buy newspapers dedworth :biggrin: I only flick thru the free Metro :wink:

your original post was about planes full of Romanians and Bulgarians landing on the 1st of Jan :biggrin: it didn't happen did it :NoNo:

Yes indeed, it's getting beyond a joke when the instruction manual is bigger than the product, simply because the EU (and people not willing to learn the language of their host country) have deemed it so.

Pointless increased costs and a criminal waste of natural resources. :mad:

[joebloggs]

1/2 of them are polish
i wouldn't worry about the Romanians, worry about why there are 9,000 Russian kids in the UK

[Dedworth]

Good point about the Russians - what lingo do the speak in the Ukraine ?, they'll be next

[joebloggs]

i think i might know why there are 9,000 Russian speaking kids in the UK, and funny enough its linked to the Ukraine,

i bet many of these kids are from the Baltic states, where there are a large number of Russians living, and i wonder if they applied for a Lithuanian, Estonian or Latvian passport giving them access to the other EU countries,

same if Ukraine joins the EU, many Russians live in the east of the Ukraine.

i worked with a guy who had a Lithuanian passport but was born in Russia, i use to ask him questions about it and he usually tried to fob me off :cwm25:

[Terpe]

Those language stats are no surprise for me.....we have them all here in N'pton :cwm24:

It's not an apology - the Handwringer refers to it as a "complete climbdown" which imho is an exaggeration

Aren't you doing exactly the same as the Mail has been accused of by stating that :Erm: Completely over exaggerating the truth :icon_lol:

They weren't forced to do anything
No apology was issued
They explained the story after 81 complaints were made :smile:
