Dave Lockwood & hypocrisy

That awkward moment when you used to work for the sun

 

The late great Denis Potter when he was dying of cancer called his tumour "Rupert" after the Dirty Digger. He wasn't wrong.

 

The Sun is great, although not quite as great as the Daily Mail.

It has erred slightly today by giving unwarranted publicity to the new Ebbsfleet announcer.

 

The Sun

 

@DonCorleone

Am I allowed to start a Mo Farah thread ?

 

Haha we all have skeletons in the closet

 

Wouldn't even use it to wipe my Arse if I was on a desert island with the ****s

 

The Sun is an incredibly cynical paper, written by very intelligent people pretending to be thick.

 

The page 3 office was decent though!

 

Hate the way they lie constantly ...hound celebrities ...just scum to me

 

As Murdoch said when he bought the Sun "Sex sells".

 

Agreed, don't like the way they go about things.

 

They will hound anyone they fancy, it's just that celebrities sell papers. The phone-hacking exposure showed how callous they are.

 

Didn't Piers Morgan win "Hacker of the Year" whilst editor of the left wing Daily Mirror

 

I do have to say - there are also a lot of good people there too. My editor on the online sports desk gave me copious amount of opportunities where others probably wouldn't.

I'm not going to say it's the most ethical in its approach, but you'll also find that those who follow the celebs are more often than not freelancers.

 

I gather The Sun has 'sleepers' based in football forums waiting for orders from Turddock

 

Sky sports is pretty great though

 

So far Piers Moron has got away with it by the skin of his teeth. So did Rebecca Brooks. G&T's all round.

 

I think it's pimms at this time of the year, FHB.

 

Piers Morgan waste of good breathing space
