Daily Mail parent company invokes Human Rights Act to stop naming of journalists

  1. At a time when their political party is trying to throw our human rights onto a bonfire, this is deliciously hypocritical!

  2. If irony was already dead at this point its immortal soul has been cast into the dark dimension with this one.

  3. This and all of the comments on this post are a terrible argument. Its insisted that we abide by every single part of the act. So disagreement of one small part of the act could necessitate leaving the whole thing together. This and the fact there isnt really a democratic mechanism for changing/adjusting it just means we’re trapped with the old opinions of the lawyers who wrote it.
    As for DM, who the hell doesnt utilise every lever and pully of the legal system to minimise impacts on themselves. This is just all selectively argued nonsense that doesn’t really lend to anything constructive for our society, maybe just wasted some extra carbon writing and hosting this article.
    Also i see it’s specified that its a parent company, which likely has no editorial influence.

  4. She sheer fucking irony of the Daily Heil, an institution hell-bent on removing the Human Rights Act, invoking the Human Rights Act.

    And yet I’m utterly convinced that they simply won’t see it.

  5. These are good Tory voting white folk that deserve human rights, it is only the brown immigrants that are less than human and deserve nothing but the new African concentration camps, with absolutely no recourse to the law. Remember all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

  6. Using human rights to defend your ability to hack the private communications of famous people while also printing endlessly about how refugees don’t deserve any rights at all. What genuinely disgusting people fucking hell. How do folks wind up on this side and not have a “are we the baddies?” moment?

  7. Persecution and then plays victim card, old play that we’ve seen alot before Would of been surprised if these cunts hadn’t slipped up bragging about it already.

    “Babblers, inexhaustible, have turned into oratorical contests the sittings of Parliament and
    Administrative Boards. Bold journalists and unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon executive
    officials. Abuses of power will put the final touch in preparing all institutions for their overthrow and
    everything will fly skyward under the blows of the maddened mob.

    It is in the Press that the triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the
    goyim States have not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen into our hands.

    Through
    the Press we have gained the power to influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the
    Press we have got the wealth in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had to gather it out of the
    oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, though we have sacrificed many of our people. Each
    victim on our side is worth in the sight of God a thousand goyim.

    By these acts all States are in torture; they exhort to tranquility,
    are ready to sacrifice everything for peace: but we will not give them peace until they openly acknowledge our international super goverment, and with submissiveness.”

  8. If we revoke the HRA as they keep imploring us to, does that mean there will be a window however brief where DM journalists won’t be protected by yuman roights? Don’t tempt me!

  9. JUST THIS WEEK the Daily Mail released this article with the headline “Fury over ‘chilling’ police plans to keep the names of suspects charged with crimes secret” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11892339/Fury-chilling-police-plans-names-suspects-charged-crimes-secret.html

    Yet here they say naming their journalists will damage the journalists’ reputations – doesn’t it damage the reputations of many of defendants the Daily Mail have previously named in their articles? I’m guessing the only difference was they couldn’t afford lawyers to demonstrate how much it’ll damage their reputation, so the criminal justice system just hands over the information willy nilly? If the DM really ethnically believes reputations shouldn’t be damaged, they wouldn’t publish defendants names when they know the info being released by the CPS isn’t a strong indicator of the level of reputation damage the defendant will incur.

    Also wtf, just looked at their website and in the main banner under “News” they have the subheadings “Meghan Markle”, “Prince Harry” and “King Charles III”. Is this clown world?
