It looks like the NOTW hacked into Milly Dowlers mobile phone, 10years ago while she was still presumed missing.


They deleted messages, gave her parents and the police false hope. They thought it was her doing it and thought she was still alive. Ultimately they led the investigation astray.


Levi bellfield then went on to kill 3 more young girls. This is truly an Evil and Despicable act by the NOTW in order to sell more news papers and give News Corporation ultimately more control and influence within UK politics. There should be piles of these things left in every news agent this Sunday.

As much as I despise those sorts of papers, chances are the folks who were there 10 years ago are not there now.

And anyway, also chances are many people in ED don't read that paper or am I making assumptions?

Either way, I don't think it will make any difference. If people did not read those papers, Murdoch et al would not create them.

I have always bought News of the Screws because occasionally I like to pick at my own scabs and this will make no difference.


It is a GM laden factory-farmed hamburger with toxic relish but man cannot live on goodness alone. It is a scandal sheet and is the one paper I see "Observer/Indie" readers poring over avidly in supermarkets ("I'll wait here darling, you go and see if there's any single estate olive oil") before reluctantly taking their approved broadsheet to the checkout. There are worse things, worse corporations and worse people in the world than those in the news of it, we just don't know who they are.

Shouldn't your post be in the 'About the forum' section then?


I thought the Lounge was for any topic that people wished to discuss - and that was allowed to go 'off-topic' into the bargain.

As the other boycott thread (about boycotting French cheese over the behaviour of IMF man) was moved to the businesses section ONLY because the OP had titled the thread "Brie at the Cheese Block" thereby involving that excellent establishment in a brouhaha not of their own making; perhaps this thread belongs in the General ED issues/Gossip section - that's where all that guff sensitive debate about lollipop people started... just a thought


*goes back to pondering the NOTW quick crossword*

The Milly story is truly horrifying but should be kept separate from the other issue regarding newspapers and the lengths they go to for a 'scoop'. Nothing surprises and nor will it ever with that lot.


And as for The Southwark News, dear Lord, last time I was feeling so bored that I was chomping my way through my own eyeballs, even then I was reaching for the special self-harm only knife. Even my dog preferred to piss on the floor and face Daddy wrath than humiliate her private parts by squatting so close to shit that wasn't her own!

@frankito,


I guess it depends on how you read the Southwark News. I just love the in the dock section to see if there is a person I know. If only Southwark News could also publish their online nicknames.


I don't think boycotting the NOTW would be fair to employees who had nothing to do with the scandal. But as this case is truly shocking then throwing the guilty in jail is the only sensible recourse IMO.


On the other hand, News International feels they have the ability to select the next government and this is enough reason to boycott the papers.

you might think that but the fact is that the then editor of the NOTW is now the chief exec of News International

Puts the whole johaan haari thing into perspective doesn't it?


I don't think "it was on my watch but i wasn't aware" is an excuse that washed with rebekka when she is chasing down some social services managers


Aaaanyway. I suspect that what we have heard so far is tip of the iceberg.

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
