Did Brenda Leyland Have the Right to Due Process ?

[Erngath]

I remember watching throughout the day as the item about Brenda was continually broadcast and dissected in great detail by the usual commentators. It was appalling to watch if I'm honest, I really felt for her.  Garbage television at its worst IMO, it had the whiff of The News of the World about it.  I wouldn't be in the least surprised if the former editor Rebekah Brooks had her grubby paws all over it too, her connections with the McCanns are well known.

Is there a cite for the former editor Rebekah Brooks having her grubby paws all over it it too, or are you just allowed to say that?

"I wouldn't be surprised ...." is a statement of opinion.  No cite is required.

It’s a question?


You said
"Bordering on libel, bordering on goading, I think I was just letting everyone know they were bordering on goading.
Goading could be via questions, we had established that.

Why would they threaten ? To intimidate? Why ?

You’d have to ask the threateners why they do it, but yes, to intimidate I would imagine.

"Goading could be via questions,"  is not the same as "Rob said asking questions is goading".

There was allegedly an attempt to discredit/censor Enid O'Dowd by reporting her to her Professional body;

My report upset an unknown McCann supporter so much that he or she complained to my professional body, the ICEAW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales). 

 This happened in November 2012 but I only learned of it recently when by chance I came across a post which the person concerned had made on the Internet.

 I was never contacted as the complaint did not meet the standards required by the ICEAW to warrant asking to hear my side of the story. The ICEAW reply to the complainant included the sentence:

‘Mrs O'Dowd is entitled to her opinions and views and freedom of speech’.

Didn’t Gerry contact the head of Yorkshire police to complain about Martin Grime ?

So supporters go on Twitter to intimidate sceptics to do what, shut up ?

You could read pages 94 to 105 of the official Leveson transcript of Mrs Brooks' evidence then draw your own conclusion.

Was that just a random question?

"Goading could be via questions,"  is not the same as "Rob said asking questions is goading".

It reads that way!  or are you just concerning yourself with questions being asked by non supporters?

Perhaps you could avail where a question is goading and where it isn't- any example would suffice.

He did contact him, but we weren't told why. Perhaps he wanted to thank him for sending his best dogs and their handler to help the investigation.

Martin Grime wasn't working for SYP on 16/8/2007; he'd already retired.

I have no idea if they ALL do, but it is certainly not a one way street with all the dozens of poor honest decent little sceptics being intimidated and threatened by a handful of supporters if that’s what you’re suggesting.

"I'm about to go out".  Here is an example "are you just concerning yourself with questions being asked by non supporters?"  You are questioning me whether I'm biased and hence not moderating fairly (hence goading).  I have no firm concepts of who is a supporter or non supporter.  I have a feeling most of your posts tend to be non-supporting.
