Cripes! That's the forum equivalent of the playground "i know you are you said you are but what am i?".

Utterly cringeworthy.

Once again you have stated something as a fact regarding the ST article but have failed to provide any evidence to back up your assertion.

I'm sure you don't need me to remind you that's one of the forum rules.

The (original) Sunday Times article is no longer on line

Why did they pull it?

My statement was truthful

Your statement was a failed attempt to be funny

Wrong, your statement was supposition. You don't know why the article was removed.

Perhaps you'd care to give a link from The Times site to the original article?

The original article was wrong because it failed to state that the efits were in the possession of both Portuguese and British police for several years before the crimewatch programme.

So the efits if they were "suppressed" at all, were suppressed by the British and Portuguese police.

More particularly by the Portuguese police, I would say, as the lead force in the investigation.

Why do you keep propagating  such falsehoods?

It has been shown on this board, that the only source for the claim the PJ & SY had the e-fits was taken from a quote Clarence Mitchell gave to the Telegraph approximately 9 days before the Sunday Times article.

The PJ categorically denied they had received the e-fits (as per the C4 news link Redblossom provided) and SY have never confirmed they received them earlier either.

Interestingly Mitchell did not use the same line in the more detailed ST Insight report. If Mitchell's claim in the Telegraph was true why did he not use it in the ST article?

You must either provide some evidence to back up your assertion or cease stating something as fact you cannot justify.

This continued spamming of the forum with your version, completely unsupported, of the truth, with no basis in fact, is becoming tedious.

Irrelevant, you stated why the article was removed with no evidence.

The original print article has not been withdrawn, retracted or corrected.

You are making a mockery of yourself here. You are asking why they pulled it. No one knows. Therefore to state as fact it was pulled because it was wrong, when you have no evidence to back it up, just makes you look well silly.

The evidence is in the absence of the article on line.

That is not evidence of why it was removed... 8-)(--)

No, this just won't do.

Your obsfucation is really irritating. No one is saying the article is in its original location.

That's not the point, and you know it.

The point at hand is your assertion as fact it was removed "BECAUSE IT WAS WRONG".

You do not have proof to state that as fact you should cease to do so otherwise your continued wumming over this will be reported to the Moderation team.

Question for Ferryman:

If the online article was removed "because it was wrong" why has the ST NOT printed an official retraction for the online or more importantly the print version of the paper?

The original print article was in print.

What appears in transient copy can't be 'removed'.

What appears on line can be and has been.

Ok, to play your game...I could just as easily say...

"The article was removed at the request of Exton as his confidentiality clause didn't allow publication of those facts."

There is no way of disproving that unless someone from the ST comes forward.

So have you not heard of newspaper correction pages and in print formal apologies / retractions for incorrect articles which is a pre-requisite when a newspaper admits its story was incorrect?

Of course you have heard of those, you just want to ignore them because it doesn't support your own view. Now that's fine you can ignore what you want and believe whatever you want as a consequence, but just because you cling to such a deluded opinion does not mean you can attempt to pass it off as fact on here.
