Dominic - I'd like to pick up one of of Chris's points. Don't you think it would be of interest to run similar stories on the membership figures for CIoJ and BAJ?

The comment is as indefensible as a Bauer freelance contract.

Kelvin MacKenzie achieved "success" by dragging British journalism into the gutter. It's still there.

We're used to disbelieving their editorial, now we can't believe their ads either.

They want to reverse "jobs blow"? But, as all subs know, that will give you......

"Tolpuddle Phartyrs" - that's what passes for wit in the Trummel Universe.

And now it's just about a malign influence.

"...repeated pathological lying and alleged criminal activity..."

Just a mite libellous, Trummel, old sport.

The candidates should not waste a moment's sleep over Paul Trummel's drivel.
Not unless they really believe they will be arraigned before the Intergalactic Police Federation.

Re: Grey Cardigan: October column

I am well aware of all of that.

The question I asked you is: was the telegram sent?

Are you going to use your journalisatic skills to find out?

Re: Grey Cardigan: October column

Gatsby — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:31:30 -0000

Ah, the old "Colonel Gaddafi telegram" chestnut. Wondered when you would get round to it. Was such a message ever sent by the NUJ?
I know that behind the Grey Cardigan persona there is a former newspaper journalist. So, GC, why don't you answer the question once and for all: Gaddaffi Telegram: Fact or Fiction? (You do still know how to do journalism, don't you?)

I'll be voting for Mark Watts, too. We need an editor who will be genuinely independent of the Union's leadership.

Of course they're not being paid. Why sack professionals if you're going to pay the amateurs who replace them?
