Have you ever tried taking a photo of something going 800 miles an hour?

Eh? Do you propose we stop all trade with China because of something that happened 17 years ago?

Possibly, I wouldn't rule it out but I'd like some hard evidence before making up my mind. One could argue that given precendent, suicide was "in character" with Wheelock - his brother killed himself so there is a family history of it. Such reporting tends to make people scoff at such...

My instant reaction to this is hmmm..... . The reporting is biased for a start. If the cops are clever enough to get away with allegedly murdering someone in a cell why would be thick enough to screech up in loads of cars in broad daylight in full view of an entire street (with a large...

Yes, it is insane - if it is true. According to Indymedia "hundreds" of people witnessed this raid on their home. Hmmm..really? This sounds like sensationalist reporting to me. I'll expect to see these hundreds of witness statements so. Was there a coroners report about the death of this...

The fact is, these men have NOT completed the asylum process. None of them were lined up for deportation. To hunger strike at this stage is just sheer stupidity. Had they all been told they were going to be deported it would perhaps be a different situation. Could anyone supporting this...

Of course it had been discussed. But that article certainly sped things up. Didn't the government change the rules within a week or so? It was really quick, I remember it being announced on the news and being pretty impressed. Have you got proof that the date they announced it was chosen...

So? Please advise me how his articles have actually harmed them. If anything he has assisted them to stay together as a family unit. The man is perfectly entitled to his publish his opinions even if they piss people off. People also have the option of not reading his column.

Um yeah, I've already said I didn't think he actually intended to change the law. Worked out well though, didn't it? Or do people wish he never wrote it? I'd imagine if that article was not published unmarried couples with kids would still be in the same position of sneaking around living in...

If you find him so boring try not reading his articles. The reason I love Myers is this: Before the hang Myers fest was going on two of my mates who had a kid were fucking bricking it as the welfare were investigating them. Their dreadful crime was that herself was claiming unmarried ma...

Godwins law. Myers article led to the swift change of the rules on single mother living with their partners. The awww diddums crowd can bitch and moan about Myers being a cunt all they want but the fact is that bastards article made a very positive contribution to the lives of single mothers.

This wouldn't work because then loads of women would "accidentally" fall down the stairs or fall onto a knitting needle. I do agree with where you are coming from but it isn't actually workable.

I think Kevin Myers is a wonderful journalist. Single mothers living with partners are now entitled to housing benefits as a result of his "bastards" article. The law was changed as a result of the outcry that article produced. There are not many journalists that can get laws changed so...

Chap I know ran out of washing powder so used dishwasher tablets instead. He was itchy for days as a result.

Did you contact them about it?
