Do NOT read if you are easily distressed by hackery.

DO read if you want to sharpen your keyboard, as thousands have already, and file a complaint with the PCC.

http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/process.html (There's even a direct link to the form for those wanting to complain about Moir. The site may be down, such is the volume of traffic. Please try again) CHeck the code of practice - general consensus is she breaks 1, 3, 5 and 12. (Accuracy, Privacy, Intrusion into grief or shock, Discrimination), although the whole article is a piece of shite.

We get the press we deserve, I'm told. Well, we all deserve better than that filth. The PCC can't do much, but public outrage is a terrific weapon and those that speak up will be doing what they can to try and stamp out this sort of hatefulness.

Best rebuttal I've read is here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/oct/16/stephen-gately-jan-moir

eugh *wishes to boil self clean* *or possibly skip that and just boil her clean*

I adore that the PCC has a specific link on their site for if you want to complain about that article, however. Go, outrage, go - that's not complaining, that's like the online equivalent of rioting.

Please explain how you believe the Code of Practice has been breached.*
Someone with more interest in their per click than their conscience let a vile little abortion of a human being near a keyboard.

I've never heard of this Charlie Booker guy, but I think I love him.

Me, too. As for Moir - what a bloody moron.

Pure slime.

And in the Daily Fail. Imagine that.

My loathing for that "news"paper has reached new heights. I'd rather read the Daily Star - at least it's honest about what it's there for.

Related news - as a direct result of this, M&S have stopped advertising with the Daily Fail (says at the bottom of the beeb artcle - here )
