    Strange how David Conn was the journalist who the families praised and honoured for carrying the torch for so long for them.

    The Sun provided one of the most apposite examples of the disgusting way our tabloid press conduct themselves in the afermath of Hillsborough, where they tried to stigmatise ordinary decent people in the most shameful manner.

    It's just the epitome of tabloid scummery, Happy. It's emblematic. Sometimes, a good way to make a general point is to focus on a detail :)

    I agree they're scum.

    I just don't get why you, in Hull, want to burn copies of it, all these years later, when since then, the other rags act in disgusting manners on an almost daily basis, fostering hatred and bigotry.

    Still, good luck to you, hope it works out!

    It was inspired by this recent boost in anti-Sun feeling in the city:

    Butt out of it, Oldman. This aspect of it doesn't concern you!

    Well, it's not being planned as a mass burning, and even if we wanted it to be, the council's event safety team almost certainly wouldn't allow it. There will probably be the symbolic burning of just one copy, which will probably be an old one that we can pick up easily enough.

    No more bollocks than a lot of other stuff, including yours.

    How very dare you! His Lordship will be turning his full alter-vocabulary on to you, next. And that can be very disturbing, even for those of us with enhanced epidermal attributes.

    Yes, and have done, thanks. How about yourself? Has the wife been posting for you, recently? Or poor Ben?

    Seriously, you're the most boring **** ever to post on here, you make Patty seem entertaining.

    Go and have another failing attempt to ridicule and humiliate Sterling. He totally annihilated you in that recent 'scouting' topic, as everyone except you and your mini-clique saw after the first couple of exchanges.
    You really should take a break for a decade or two. It will increase the quality of the board no end, and you could fill several spare hours a day trying to improve your 'limited' vocabulary. Something tells me that could never happen, though.
    You can't fix 'common'.

    Oh my! How disturbing! Why haven't the proper mods thrown you out yet? You don't really fit in properly on this board. And it seems I'm not the only one to think this. Just eff off, and flog your crappy goods elsewhere.
    How many times have you picked on Patty today? Does it make you feel smart/middle-class/accepted in society?
