General discussion about the latest news (not search related)

I think three people and their dog talking about this nonsense on a forum such as this hardly constitutes "working" and I'm not sure to what end you think it would be working anyway, apart from as clickbait which is clearly all it is.  Perhaps that's what you meant.

It's all of that. The 'reach' I can't calculate, but it's reached this little corner of the internet with 3 dudes, a cat and a whippet. What was it in, The S*n, so we've discussed their readership previously, plus the webpage visits. Then extend it out to all the links to the rag, then all the people on twitter, facepage, FaceSpace, etc......
But it's all unfounded tittle tattle which the British public seem to like.

It certainly has appeared to 'work' after a fashion for self publicist Mark Saunokonoko as the masses wait with bated breath for the revelations of a disgraced cop about the inner workings of an investigation about which he probably knows as much as you or me.

As far as I can see, his podcasts cover rather more than just the opinion of a retired police officer and reach a wide audience.

Do you have a problem with that ?

Not at all ... but then I'm not daft enough to have listened to them.

It seems forensic science analysis is in crisis ..seems the FSSwas a lot more reliable than some think

The committee said that, throughout its inquiry, it heard about a decline in forensic science, especially since the controversial closure in 2012 of the Forensic Science Service (FSS), which was publicly owned.

I almost broke out an emoji then.
'The sceptics' - all of them, of course, even the ones oblivious to the story, are all now upset.
It's The Mail, that most trustworthy and veracious of all daily publications.

It's in the Portuguese paper CDM... I suppose the sceptics can just put their fingers in their ears and pretend it isn't happening

[Mr Gray]

No.. It's, a Portuguese article... So will really upset the sceptics

[The General]

It really won't.

[jassi]

Certainlt doesn't upset me - why should it ?
 
I'm delighted that the Portuguese appear to be doing something
