If your saying that because I indirectly made money from News International then fair enough, However if your saying it because you dont think anyone from Liverpool should ever work for the devil paper even if it means feeding their familly that is some serious fucked up shit

Nick Chris Bascombe is not in that position so that analogy is flawed. Try telling the miners or the sacked dockers to take that attitude, the miners especially, they lost everything for doing what they believed in.

after reading the last few pages of this again i would just like to say

 

 

 

THE WORLD IS A FUCKED UP PLACE

 

 

 

People who place Money at the top of there list would never be convinced by anything I or anyone else had to say as they have something else they hold dearest of all

I do not need to be told by anyone official or un-official how i chose to make my moral judgements and i have no intention to tell others how they should make there's

 

This debate on boycotts has been done to death.

I havnt seen anyone on here state that CB's decision is anyones but his own to make.

The only point I make is my own

That i choose not to have anything to do with either paper and i would never gain employment from either (which agreed would be unlikely, even for that shite to employ someone who forgets how to spell his own name sometiomes)

 

If CB expects for everyone to understand his decision and except it for what it is (and im not saying he does) then he is mistaken cos some people will always find fault with it

my own view is do what you think best CB and good luck whith your choice.

The boycott is The S*n. Those who choose to boycott the NOTW because they feel it's the right thing to do in line with the "official" boycott are entitled to do so, just like those who choose only to stick to the "official" boycott are entitled to do so.

 

I hope all those having a go at CB over this are ensuring their boycott of all things related to Murdoch / News International is complete. No Sky, no Simpsons on Channel 4, for example. Also be careful which games you watch on MOTD because Sky are actually quite possibly responsible for the production of the match itself.

 

In fact a quick look at the News International website pointed me to the fact that NI is a subsidiary of News Corporation, and their website mentions these names amongst others:

There's also this:

 

 

National Geographic's one of theirs too.

 

As I say, I hope all those having a go at CB are ensuring they've boycotted all of the above too. You can't have a go at CB for this if you haven't researched how many companies, publications, programmes and the rest are related to The S*n in some way.

 

And that needs a lot of research I expect. Which is probably a good reason that the "official" boycott was against The S*n and only The S*n.

 

Well said that man

 

But we know those same self Reichous so and so's have there sky subscriptions or watch Sky down the pub

More fool them for letting a looney socalist destroy their lives

 

At the end of the day Principals can be very expensive but people who prefer to be more pragmatic shouldnt be slated for it.

Real Red rightly or wrongly the NOTW is considered by a lot of people to be the Sun on a Sunday none of Murdochs other publications are. That is were the link is, if there was no link there wouldn't be an argument. In 1989 the Times wasn't part of the Murdoch empire the NOTW was, and if it's not the Sunday Sun it's certainly the Sister paper to it as was recognised when Rooney's serialisation began in the NOTW and carried on the following week in the Sun.

 

Whatever the rights and wrongs of it are no one can truly tell me with a straight face that the NOTW is not so closely linked that it's almost the same. If I'd mentioned that the NOTW was the Sun on Sunday before the Bascombe furore would anyone on here have disagreed?

What a humanitarian you are Nick someone should have told the Suffragettes not to have bothered and been more pragmatic I'm sure they would have got the vote by 1970.

 

Big difference I know but Nick's pissing me off.

Just being facetious mate.

It's not really, it's a pretty simple question. Would you think worse of him in that situation?

 

What you or I may think of him is Irrelevant, I certainly wouldnt sit on judgement on him for doing so. Would I think poorly of him well without knowing all the facts I wouldnt be in a position to form a factual opinion, for example if he went there as sports editor I would fully understand his reasons for going etc etc
