OK, I have a nice letter from the Telegraph – http://acomfortableplace.blogspot.com/2009/06/telegraph-and-eyeliner-story.html . What now?

I phoned The Guardian just now and they say they are looking into correcting their story because they have had many e-mails about it and understand it may not be correct. Fingers crossed!

Can someone other than the “victim” complain to the PCC? I thought it was one of their ridiculous rules that they couldn’t?

Nadine published some exremely silly, very defamatory, very actionable nonsense about the Barclay Brothers and Telegraph motivation. Viz that they were trying to clear out the established parties for an anti-Europe Reichdom led by the BNP and UKIP.

That was why they were after her. She averred. Not because her main home doesn’t particularly exist in the normal understanding.

Clearly they could have just asked for this to be removed and not grounded the whole blog. In fact, leaning from the Schillings error of pulling blogs before, that would have been far better.

So: has David Cameron pulled Nadine’s blog?

>What an utterly stupid act of fuckwittery.

Yes.

“Telegraph poisons own scoop”.

Will Lewis God is in the Detail FAIL. I wish I was Jo Swinson’s favourite charity.

I have contacted the Telegraph, Guardian and BBC to express my annoyance at their reporting.

I have pointed out to the BBC that they too are publicly funded and their reporters make expenses claims.

I have also told them that if Jo Swinson were to sue them I shall contribute to her expenses (legal costs).

PS I also think they have been highly unfair to Phil Willis who got things wrong when suffering from a stroke.
