You're a man of reason, right?

 

So apply Occam's razor to the rest of the text you deleted from my initial reply as to why they did not run the story fully, as it can not have been anything other than an editorial choice, who was acting as editor is the uncertain part, not the outcome of the story being editorial choice.

 

As I've already demonstrated, they published a barebones article at 10.34pm, then updated it with more details 30 minutes later. There could be any number of reasons for this, maybe you should ring them up if you're that concerned.

And just to be clear, the article was updated with which quotes? And how would you know that?

 

I didn't see the original article. All we have is 100% proof that it was updated, like I said.

Prove to me that you aren't Myra Hindley. I want a photograph of you holding a sign saying "I called your work to get you sacked because you negged me on an internet forum" and I will believe you aren't. You child killing cunt. 

One of my mates had a girlfriend called Myra for a bit. She was about 10 years old than him and had a face like a pitbull chewing a wasp. She didn't have any of Hindley's charm either. He finally managed to get rid of her when she fucked off to some other part of the country for all intents and purposes "on the run" having set fire to someone's car.

Yes but you said it includes quotes from less than 17 hours ago. Which ones?

At least slightly less heinous than torturing five kids to death.

It doesn't. But since it includes quotes from less than 17 hours ago, unless the journalist is in possession of a time machine, it's a pretty safe bet.

Don't know. Don't care. Not even slightly important to my initial point, is it.

 

Scenes.

You asked me for evidence it had been edited since being published. I made an initial claim about the recency of quotes, but the evidence to support this was poor quality and inconclusive.

 

I have since provided more definitive evidence, proving I was right about the article being edited. But you would sooner argue the toss about the earlier, abandoned statement I made in haste. Because admitting I was right about it being edited is apparently beyond you.

Yes, so you had no idea it had been edited until I pulled you about the age of the quotes, and then you panicked and went and found the content updated timestamp, but again, unless you know what actual content was added between 22:30 and 23:00, it in no way proves whether the paper/author did or didn't know he was a Tory MP at the time it was initially posted.

Of course I did. The initial Tweet said Man in his 50s. The linked article said Tory MP.

 

The initial Tweet would have reflected the initial text of the story, until it was updated with further details 30 minutes later, apparently as part of some grand scam to hide the fact he was a Tory MP.

So you know for sure what was in the article when it was initially posted, do you? Based on a Tweet?

I reckon it's a reasonable assumption that a tweeted headline would reflect the actual headline.

 

I mean, obviously it doesn't have the same wealth of evidence behind it as some of the other claims in this thread...

Incredible that you haven't provided this concrete evidence yet. After all, Stronts has set you an entirely feasible challenge here.

 

An original copy of a handwritten note or recorded footage of a confession will suffice.

Yeah that's what I thought, shouldn't be difficult. A note from Osborne and it's all put to bed and Stronts can find some other excuse where he does not admit hes wrong.

Hahaha I’ve just got back to this thread after dinner and fucking fucking hell 

 

Unreal levels of SD from SD there. Had yet another fucking nightmare hasn’t he. Poor fella. 

It's just weird, and in the end we come back to the same thing, as always: assumptions are fine for him, but nobody else. It's so tedious.
