This week a beautiful little blonde and blue-eyed English girl was horrifically sexually mutilated - by her parents. She will be scarred for life both physically and mentally. She could have died in the attack. This was not a lone assault, however. Such ritualistic violence against children happen on average...

The release from hell today of Sun Crime Editor Mike Sullivan after 14 MONTHS under arrest and on bail for a crime he didn't commit led to this very apposite comment on Twitter. @Anthony_Bonicci said "Can't wait for Liberty, Amnesty etc to condemn the length of time Mike Sullivan has...

The irony is almost too rich to bear. On Thursday, the same day that Lord Justice Leveson delivers his long-awaited report into regulation of the British press, there is a parliamentary by-election in Rotherham.
It has been caused by the forced resignation of Labour MP Denis McShane (a fervent press...

Britain has enjoyed Press Freedom for 317 years. It was finally wrestled from the grasp of the State, after centuries of campaigning, in 1695. Many have - literally - died to protect it ever since.
So why do so many people want to give it away now?
First, what...

Imagine if The Sun had printed an expose "Jimmy Savile is a Paedophile".
Imagine it had taken the sworn word of several young women victims, gone against the legal advice (for it would have been No!) like the Daily Mail did over naming the Stephen Lawrence killers, and printed the...

It was a sad, much-mourned, death, greeted with glum faces all round in the Westminster Village that day.
A new ministerial code, announced on 15 July, 2011, effectively declared that decades of 'unattributable' boozy lunches and 'off-the-record' slap-up dinners between politicians and the press were to be no more. In...

There are two nationwide petitions scrapping furiously for the nation's attention and support this morning.
One wants to 'Ban the Page Three Girl' from the pages of the Sun - you know, the topless photo of a pretty girl the paper runs five days a week (though not on Saturdays)....

Why isn't Lord Justice Leveson holding a Public Inquiry into Hillsborough?
After all, it involves the press, the police, a blatant cover-up lasting years, politicians and the establishment actively assisting that cover-up, judges going along with the concealment of the truth, taxpayer funded public services lying, distorting and doctoring evidence......

At 7am yesterday a squad of Scotland Yard's finest hammered on the door of a North London flat, ordered the stunned man inside to get dressed, began a forensic search of the premises as his terrified pyjama-clad girlfriend looked on, then marched the dazed suspect out to an unmarked police...

It was like the scene from the film Network, where the Peter Finch character slowly and incredulously reads out the news then explodes "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this any more!"
Rupert Murdoch is not used to be pushed around, he doesn't like to be...

Lord Justice Leveson, your work here is done.
In just a few short months you have managed to do what the massed phalanxes of the Guardian and BBC have been trying to do for years but failing.
You have neutered the great British press, and made it a laughing stock.

Extraordinary scenes are going on this morning in newsrooms and editors offices all over Britain.
The subject is a set of photos taken of a naked Prince Harry cavorting with naked girls in a Las Vegas hotel room. Extremely interesting in lots of ways, not in itself earth-shattering, but undoubtedly...
