Homophobic Mirror

The Daily Mirror’s Sunday sister title, the Sunday People, was mentioned in the other news story regarding the libel case of leading singer and performer Robbie Williams who has accepted substantial damages over claims that he is secretly homosexual.
The People newspaper, “Star” and “Hot Stars” magazines in 2004 published stories alleging Mr Williams had engaged in casual homosexual sex.

The publications' owners, MGN Limited and Northern & Shell plc, now accepted the stories were untrue and had agreed undisclosed damages, the court heard.

Faked pictures

This scandal follows an earlier scandal where Piers Morgan, the editor of the Daily Mirror, was forced to resign for printing false pictures in the paper that showed fake images of ' Iraqis' being tortured by British soldiers. The fact that because of Piers Morgan and the Daily Mirror our British soldiers may have died as a result of this.

The Mirror published fake pictures but they didn't fake the pictures, soldiers who claimed to have witnessed the events did. And the pictures were much less shocking and brutal than the real pictures that have come out since - mostly through squaddies own photographs of abuses. Neither the real photos nor the fake photos risked any soldiers lives - they brought that risk on themselves by commiting the abuses - and by not going AWOL from theis illegal war. So Piers Morgan was sacked for publishing fake photos of real events when other editors were pretending those events weren't happening because they themselves were hoodwinked by the faked and false prospectus for war.

And Robbie Williams is a complete homophobe for sueing anyone for saying he is gay and the court is pathetic for giving the rich little self-absorbed talentless twit the time of day. Of course it wasn't casual homosexual sex, I believe I meant a lot to him at the time.
