The cunting Daily Mail thread.

[Fugitive]

Could this potentially be another NOTW moment and shut the cunts down????

 

The Duke of Sussex has unexpectedly appeared at the High Court as legal proceedings begin in a privacy case.

 

Prince Harry is one of those suing Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail, over alleged phone-tapping and other breaches of privacy.

 

The duke was seen at the High Court on Monday morning, while singer Sir Elton John, who is also involved in the legal proceedings, arrived at lunchtime.

The publisher has described the allegations as "preposterous smears".

 

The duke, Sir Elton and actresses Sadie Frost and Liz Hurley are among the individuals who allege unlawful information gathering by the company, which also publishes the Mail on Sunday.

 

Among their claims are that the publisher "largely deprived" the prince of parts of his teenage years; obtained Sir Elton's child's birth certificate before he had seen it; and monitored the bank account of the mother of murdered Stephen Lawrence to see if she was being paid by other newspapers.

 

The four-day preliminary hearing in London is considering legal arguments and a judge will decide whether the case will go any further. Associated Newspapers (ANL) wants to end the claims without trial.

 

Prince Harry's appearance will be seen by many as a sign of his strength of feeling over his privacy and determination regarding the legal action.
 

Others taking part in the legal action include Sir Elton's husband David Furnish, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racist attack in 1993.

 

The group launched the legal action last year after becoming aware of "compelling and highly distressing evidence that they have been the victims of abhorrent criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy" by ANL, according to a statement by law firm Hamlins released in October 2022.

 

ANL's lawyer Adrian Beltrami KC said, in written submissions, that the legal actions had been brought too late and were "stale".

 

David Sherborne, the lawyer for the group of prominent individuals, said: "The claimants each claim that in different ways they were the victim of numerous unlawful acts carried out by the defendant, or by those acting on the instructions of its newspapers, the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday."

 

Mr Sherborne successfully represented Coleen Rooney at last year's so-called Wagatha Christie trial.

 

He said the alleged unlawful activity included "illegally intercepting voicemail messages; listening into live landline calls; obtaining private information, such as itemised phone bills or medical records, by deception or 'blagging'; using private investigators to commit these unlawful information gathering acts on their behalf and even commissioning the breaking and entry into private property".

 

He added: "They range through a period from 1993 to 2011, even continuing beyond until 2018."

 

The duke sat towards the back of the courtroom, occasionally taking notes in a small black notebook as legal arguments were made.

 

Ms Frost sat two seats away from him. Baroness Lawrence also attended the first day of the hearing.

 

The High Court was told Sir Elton and Mr Furnish's landline at their home in Windsor was tapped by a private investigator on the instructions of Associated Newspapers Limited.

 

Documents filed on the couple's behalf said Sir Elton's personal assistant and the couple's gardener were also targeted.

Mr Sherborne said: "The claimants are outraged that Associated engaged in these unlawful and illicit acts in order to publish unlawful articles about them.

"They are also mortified to consider all their conversations, some of which were very personal indeed, were tapped, taped, packaged and consumed as a commercial product for journalists and unknown others to pick over, regardless of whether or not they were published.

 

"The hurt remains the same, knowing that their lives have been treated as a commodity and their precious, priceless moments of privacy degraded in this way."

Mr Sherborne continued: "In particular, they consider their private home a sacred space.

 

"To learn now that this was ruthlessly invaded, their home so violated, and their family and loved ones targeted, all through unlawful acts designed to steal and exploit their information, is unforgivable to them."

 

The High Court heard Sir Elton and Mr Furnish had not seen a copy of their first child's birth certificate before it was unlawfully obtained by ANL.

 

Mr Sherborne told the court: "The claimants have found it particularly disturbing to understand the deliberate tactics deployed by Associated to bypass the confidentiality and ethical protections afforded to medical information.

 

"They were appalled by the unlawful articles published about the first claimant that were sourced this way.

"Worse still was Associated's unlawful obtaining of their first child's birth certificate, before they had even seen a copy themselves.

 

"They were heartbroken by the derogatory headline that Associated attached to it, clearly calculated to profit and generate public sensation about an event that they had so carefully guarded to keep precious.

 

"The fact that these unlawful articles, which carry so much upset, were founded through unlawful acts that were all the time deliberately concealed from them has enraged them."

 

Mr Sherborne also told the court a private investigator acting on behalf of ANL hacked Hurley's phone, placed a "sticky window mini-microphone" outside her home and bugged ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant's car to unlawfully obtain information about her finances, travel plans and medicals during her pregnancy.

 

He also told the court ANL paid a private investigator to unlawfully find the address of a man it believed was the male lover of Liberal Democrat politician Sir Simon Hughes.

 

Baroness Lawrence's bank accounts were monitored to check whether she was receiving any money from other newspapers during the Daily Mail's Justice for Stephen Lawrence Campaign, Mr Sherborne alleged.

 

"She finds it hard to believe the level of duplicity and manipulation that was clearly at play, knowing now as she does that the Daily Mail's outward support for her fight to bring Stephen's killers to justice was hollow and, worse, entirely false," he said.

 

"The claimant now sees that the Daily Mail's true interests were about self-promotion and using her and her son's murder as a means to generate 'exclusive' headlines, sell newspapers, and to profit."

 

ANL has said it categorically denies the serious claims made in the litigation and will vigorously defend them if necessary.

 

Prince Harry had "suspicion and paranoia" caused due to the publication of articles by ANL using unlawfully gathered information, the High Court was told.

 

Mr Sherborne, acting for the duke, said he was "troubled that, through Associated's unlawful acts, he was largely deprived of important aspects of his teenage years".

 

The barrister said: "Friends were lost or cut off as a result and everyone became a 'suspect' since he was misled by the way that the articles were written into believing that those close to him were the source of this information being provided to Associated's newspapers."

 

He added: "The claimant regards Associated's unlawful acts to amount to a major betrayal given promises made by the media to improve its conduct following the tragic and untimely death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997."

 

In written submissions, Mr Beltrami, for ANL, argued the legal actions had been brought too late and the claims were "largely inferential".

 

The barrister said the individuals had to prove they did not know earlier, or could not have discovered earlier, they might have had a claim against ANL for alleged misuse of their private information.

 

He said none of the group said they believe they continued to be targeted by unlawful information-gathering after 2015, and added: "In fact, in most instances their own case is that such targeting ended substantially before then."

The hearing continues on Tuesday.

Probably, the owner is a tax exile.

 

None of them even believe this shit they're just peddling shit to idiots for money.

 

Was flicking through the channels before trying to avoid the rugby and that Trisha Goddard was on that murdock talk tv reading out a text from someone claiming there was a cure for cancer and that the proton machines were buried under a london hospital and they were keeping it under wraps.

 

I don't know how we've come to this. We don't even notice now, but if you could have seen a crystal ball 20 years ago I doubt most would believe the gaff would end up this bad.

Tribalism. They don't stop and think they just go with it. "Child hit by a car, dies, 14" "Bloody immigrant taxi driver I suspect" "No it was Graham, 71 white male neighbour" "Probably pissed off because some woke twats have moved in next door"

Next day's headline - " DM Exclusive - Graham's car was at an immigrant family garage prior to potential brake fail"

Story - Graham got his windscreen wipers fixed at a 3rd generation Brit-Indian family garage a month prior to the accident.

They had an article yesterday about a head teacher being suspended for describing black kids using the n word. 

The comments were things like " freedom of speech " and " woke culture" 

 

Imagine trying to defend racism when perpetrated by a teacher again primary school kids

"Honestly, you can't even send your armies out to conquer Europe and impose a thousand-year Reich free from racial impurities without some snowflake complaining that it offends them.  It's woke cancel culture gone mad!"

The campaign to withdraw legal aid for people accused of criminal offences begins here….

 

And the muppets will lap it up not realising that the people pushing it can afford to pay for their defence but the muppets won’t be able to once legal aid has gone.

Not exactly the best written summary. Unless his success in raping got him the MBE.

Absolute fucking scum of the earth this lot. 
 

One of my closest friends of 25 years (I was best man at his wedding) 16 year old son died in a car crash on Sunday afternoon in Australia. 
 

Some cunt from the Daily Mail Australia has gone on to his wife’s Facebook page and copied and pasted a tribute she has paid to Benjy and are reporting it as an interview she has given them. 
 

The hate mail over here are now reporting it online as well stating “the teen's family told Daily Mail Australia.”

 

Just a pure pack of lies and at the worst, lowest point possible for a family. 
 

There is no fucking shame to these cunts. 

[Tj hooker]

That's fucking disgusting,  not in the least surprising sadly , the British press are just utter filth
