I beg your indulgence for another hacking scandal post. The topic on Nicky Campbell’s phone-in this morning on Radio Five Live was: “Will you mourn the News Of The World?”
Um they didn’t let her hang around though, he gets rid of her right at the end, callers ‘he’ likes get to stay on the air as anyone who has listened ot the garbage at Radio 5 knows.
She did make some valid points, but hers was a lone voice.
You might have a point here Martin, you might not – I’ve never noticed any partiality before on who gets to hang around. I heard the call-in, and if my memory serves Kelly wasn’t the only one who spoke in favour, although she certainly was the most unequivocal!
I have to say I was listening to Nicky C conduct interviews on this on Wednesday and to my mind he was patently trying to get headling grabbing quotes that would serve the BBC Gramscian agenda. Back to his usual high standards today though, as Kelly herself noted.
Shame she didn’t preface her comments about the bbc with the word ‘socialist’. Otherwise, a very sensible lady. And at least she was allowed her say without interruption.
too true,unfortunately i ve been on the end of a microphone turn down while guest or presenter just cut in/interrupt, on that very show
she must have, played a blinder,(wink wink) to those condecending 5contrive call vetters so well said Kelly.
oh an excellent piece from M.Philips… acidic precision Melanie’s blog
The only aspect of this tawdry affair that I’m saddened by will be the loss of jobs. TNOTW was the lowest of the gross red tops and all the others are pretty ghastly. Kelly mentioned the Profumo scandal…well yes, 50 years ago they had a story of substance, but who cares what money grabbing bimbo is being shagged by Ryan Giggs? It’s just nasty and spiteful.
Our media has gone that way because more and more of it is ideologically driven, not to mention the obsession (including the BBC) with the cult of celebrity.
Does anoyne really give a toss about what Cheryl Cole is or isn’t doing? The media argue it does as people buy the papers.
Would be very interesting to put all stories about Cheryl Cole behind a paywall and then just see who really wants to pay for this crap.
Same with garbage like Eastenders, make people pay to watch it and I bet the viewing figures would drop like a hookers knickers after a box of Tesco plonko da vino
She was very good. A ‘normal’ person, who’d have thunk it.
Just watching yesterday’s OneShow (with Steve Martin) and there was a live link to the Questioin Time studio about the NOTW troubles.Talk about agendas.
Though not nice, I’m not sure dialling a default answer machine code is ‘hacking’.
There was a very entertaining moment on BBC World a couple of nights ago.
Beeboid presenter attempting to leverage anti-Tory propaganda out of the NOTW debacle invited a Guardian hack to kick David Cameron, the hack, to his credit, refused the offer and istead put the little parasitical squeaker in her place by robustly pointing out that both Labour and the Conservatives have links with the Murdoch empire.
The look on her face was priceless and the interview was quickly terminated
It comes to something when even the Guardian demonstrates greater integrity than the Beeboids.
Well I won’t miss it but I will notice that another nail will have been nailed into the diverse media we all should want and yes that includes awful dross! I like high minded stuff like ‘ Fraser’ but I can also laugh at ‘bottom’ ! but we are not forced to pay for the red top madness which is so unlike the worthless junk the BBC and it’s pet rags force on us under threat of imprisonment ! !
She was kept on long enough for the men from the BBC ministry to locate her address and get round there in their ‘van’, with a roll of gaffer tape…
No one has seen Kelly since then. Her bank accounts have been deleted and no trace exists of her employment details or national insurance number….

This supports Hippiepooter. Nicky Campbell let Kelly from Stafford have her say without stopping her.
Daisy,
Proves the BBC is fair-minded and objective. How could any fool think otherwise ? 😀
Wish it was the Kelly Stafford 😉
Is it bad that I know of the woman of which you speak?!
*chortle*

Quick to cut her off when she brought up the Bernie Ecclestone affair, wasn’t he?
Daisy,
Any come back on this ?

Superb 🙂 Go Kelly from Stafford!
I see Tom Baldwin’s antics are now all over the BBC.
Ha ha. Only joking.
Didn’t want to carry on the conversation about Blair and the Ecclestone bribe, silly me i mean’t donation, I cannot imagine why.

No, I won’t mourn the News of the World.
I never saw a copy in my parent’s house and I have never bought a copy myself. Only as a 70s teenage paperboy did I ever sample its topless delights.
I don’t buy downmarket dross entertainment from anyone, and I’m appalled that the government manufactures so much of it via its BBC arm.
… and yet the Daily Star is so much the better rag…
