I have never doubted that the press exagerate these things but it has to be said that if these stories are only reported in the press ,with government spokesmen NOT taking the oportunity to respond with the actual facts then they can't be surprised when the great unwashed only believe what's in the currant bun ,or the daily fail .If the government did use right of reply a bit more often and backed it up with hard proof then maybe we would see a bit more accurate reporting from the press.

Eh?

All I've done is defend the fact that we have a human rights act that is applied equally to all...and pointed out you cannot just have human rights just for the righteous among us. That it's not a pick and choose way to apply it.
