Guilty Silence...

By now, I suspect you've all read (at Longrider's, the Orphanage, the Exile's, Quiet Man's or where it originated, at Anna's) the sorry tale of Graham Mitchell's arrest for murder of a man who, it turned out, was alive and well all along.

You might even have heard it on Twitter.

Where you WON'T have heard about it is the MSM, save alone for that much-reviled-by-the-progressives-newsheet, the Daily Mail. Oh, and the Irish Independent.

The 'Guardian', that bastion of freedom, fearless crusader for law and justice, always reliable when a case like Chris Tappin or Gary McKinnon comes along, has nothing, zip, nada. Not a peep. The English 'Independent'? Similarly devoid of a mention.

Draw your own conclusions.

The Telegraph has it too - albeit buried in 'Law and Order' - in a piece that heavily credits the Mail for interview content (something that, I suspect, cause the G. much discomfort to do).

It's ironic that the Guardian has chosen this week to release TV adverts declaring that it gives 'the whole picture'.

Un-bloody-believable ..

And whilst all this is going on Camermong is kissing arse in America ..

I hope that Mr Mitchell is able to pursue this through the couts & is able to extract a heavy price for their arrogance and incompetence ..

The Indy bans comments that are "anti-police". Do not kid yourself that it is a left wing paper.

I note in the Grauniad ad that the police wear American style badges. The Guardian refused to tell me why. Of course, in reality the 3 pigs would have been shot dead by "CO13" Zulu One Two or whatever quasi military name the 'roided out goons in blue use!

I love seeing the Guardian advert.

Every airing of the drivel costs them thousands of pounds they can ill afford.

Very much so - didn't come up on a Google search, or even it's own search!

"And whilst all this is going on Camermong is kissing arse in America .."

:/

"The Indy bans comments that are "anti-police""

I rather doubt they do, I've never had any trouble. I suspect they do ban rambling, incoherent, libellous statements though.

"I love seeing the Guardian advert.

All paid for by the success of 'AutoTrader'!
