The Sun is searching for the greatest living Briton. Apparently that would be “the ultimate accolade”, though I don’t really understand how being the seen as the greatest living Briton would be a greater accolade than, say, being the greatest Briton of all time. All in all, it’s typical Sun nonsense. At least they included… Continue reading Greatest Living Briton

Wearing A Crucifix
Here we go again: A CATHOLIC schoolgirl was asked not to wear a crucifix on a chain because it breached health and safety rules, her father said today. Samantha Devine, 13, was told to remove the crucifix and chain to comply with school rules. She attends The Robert Napier School, a non-denominational mixed school, in… Continue reading Wearing A Crucifix
The Sun Searches for Sick Web Sites
The Sun has launched a search for “the web’s most disturbing websites”. Just send your suggestions to sick.clicks@the-sun.co.uk and “our web team will get on the case” (whatever that means). I don’t know about you, but high on my list of the sickest sites on the web is www.thesun.co.uk. Do you think I should let… Continue reading The Sun Searches for Sick Web Sites
MySun Goes Live
“MySun“, the first concrete result from News Corporation’s purchase of MySpace earlier this year seems to have been launched with very little fanfare. So if you want start a blog with thesun.co.uk in the URL, now you know where to go. Personally, I’m very afraid.
The Human Rights Act
The Sun‘s latest campaign is to get the Human Rights Act revoked. As usual with their important campaigns like this they had a phone-in poll last week. As usual the vast majority of Sun readers (well the ones who could be bothered to tear themselves away from page 3 and pick up the phone) agreed… Continue reading The Human Rights Act

According to the Guardian, the first results of this purchase will be the use of MySpace technology on the Sun‘s web site to create a “MySun” network. The plan, in its early stages, would allow readers… Continue reading MySun
Report Rebekah Wade to the PCC
Tim Ireland reckons it’s about time that Rebekah Wade was taken to task over the lies that The Sun has been telling on its front page over the last few days. I agree with him. If you do to, then why not sign his pledge. And tell all of your friends.
The Sun Tells Lies
And while we’re talking about The Sun, take a look at this picture. It’s the front page of The Sun from Tuesday of this week. The man in the picture is John Tulloch. He was one of the survivors of the 7th July London bombings. The front page is obviously composed in order to make… Continue reading The Sun Tells Lies
“Traitors”
The Sun is at it’s most vitriolic this morning, labelling the MPs who defeated the government as “traitors” on its front page. It goes on to claim that they ignored the wishes of the vast majority of Britons and humiliated Tony Blair. In a bizarre piece of reporting, it also says the “the limit was… Continue reading “Traitors”
