(it’s not satire – it’s the Daily Mail!)
Yesterday, the Daily Mail published yet another of its endless dubious stories about how working class people are all lazy scroungers on benefits who drink too much alcohol, scrounge off the state, are bad parents blah blah bloody blah.
You can read the article here, if you really must (warning – link to Daily Mail nonsense):
Is this Britain’s most irresponsible parent?
Well, the woman in the story is actually an actress.
Here’s her casting page:
Can’t blame the woman. She does a very good job playing the part of a working-class parent – well one according to the Daily Mail anyway.
I hope they paid her well for her role.
This comes after both the Mail and the Sun printed the following similar dubious story which also used an actress (or the wife of a Russian billionaire?):
What is the real identity of the Sun’s ‘immigrant benefit scrounger’?
Of course, this should come as no surprise. We all know neither rag would recognise a real piece of news if it stripped itself naked, painted itself bright pink and danced around singing “I’m a piece of news, come on baby, you know you want me”.
But at the very least, could we stop referring to the Mail and the Sun as NEWSpapers and recognise them for what they really are?
Fantasy comics.

I believe the government has set up its own (pathetic) ‘find-a-job’ website, has it not? Possibly recruitment for actors for this sort of Daily Mail rubbish come via agencies using that.
It would have a delicious circularity about it…..

Hey, you…yes, YOU! Do you love thinking for yourself? Do you love immigrants? Do you believe the public can change life in UK? Do you care enough about anything to even try to change things?
If you answered “no” to any of the above, you need THE SUN.
The Sun, bringing a lot of Tory hate to a person near you.

I clicked onto your link which brought me to the poor and bedroom tax i.e. they have to pay up or move, poverty is no excuse (David Cameron poster). Moving to a small one bedroom shoebox is not a saving when the rents on them are higher than the 2 or 3 bedroom home you moved from. Nor are there many dwellings to downsize to. This tax is about printing money for the government as a tax or about getting the tenant that cannot find a smaller home into debt and possible eviction.

Could she not be an actress who is a bad parent?
If she was playing a role wouldn’t she have changed her name at least rather than using her own name in her own town?

You’re right. It’s probably just coincidence. And the fact the Mail didn’t mention she’s an actress is probably just coincidence too. And the fact it’s the umpteenth time the Mail and other papers have used actors as examples of working class, alcoholic, lazy scroungers is probably just coincidence too.
I always thought it was supposed to be people on the Left who are naive?

I just read the terms on the Fail site and it states:

Apparently if you aren’t expressing the kind of vitriol that gives a labotomised fascist a satisfying tumescence then you won’t get your comment on there and gods forbid that you should question the honesty of the story.

Everyone in a position of power is at it, see this ‘Talking Stalking’ documentary featuring a known criminal at 4 minutes ten seconds into the documentary, a known criminal who in his 4 day long 2010 trial was accused of producing picture disc DVDs’ of Child Sex. This man was a BBC actor and has a criminal record. He was hired for this documentary that was produced for stalking awareness week 2011 and was shown to MPs’ and others involved in the MP Elfyn Llwyds campaign to change the 1997 Protection from Harassment Act. Elfyn Llwyd himself appears in an interview in the documentary along with Laura Richards from the UK Charity of the year 2012 Protection Against Stalking, who recently gained a convert to her cause who is now a patron of her organization – Hugh Grant – http://www.protectionagainststalking.org/node/70
The woman behind Protection Against Stalking is – Tricia Bernal – who was responsible for the introduction of the 1997 Protection from Harassment Act !!!! and Tricia Bernal – http://www.worksforfreedom.org/drugs/itemlist/tag/1997%20Protection%20from%20Harassment%20Act – personally invited the actor in the cyberstalking documentary ‘Talking Stalking’ to the CEOP – http://ceop.police.uk/ “Coming out of the Shadows” conference held at CEOP in London in April 2011. What is even more irresponsible is the fact that her colleague Laura Richards actually knew about the criminal credentials and all the other aforementioned stuff over a week before he was invited to the conference by Tricia. Late last year CEOP themselves told me this was serious enough to report to the police. I reported it to a friend and colleague of Laura Richards of P.A.S, One Garry Shewan ACC of Greater Manchester Police, he did nothing about it !
When I saw that myself and my partner were being slandered and defamed in this documentary, I contacted one of the producers Riaz Jay, recently ex of The Community Channel pointed out the slander and defamation and requested the documentary which had gone viral around the world, appearing on leading news websites, and provided him with evidence that the actor at 4 minutes ten seconds who claims to be a victim, was actually a known criminal and cyberstalker of myself and my partner, who along with a group of international facebook stalkers have abused us for years. We currently have one of his female molls in the courts, she has had to sell her home to defend herself and so far has run up a £76000.00 legal bill !
Having supplied Jay with more than enough evidence about the faux victim he interviewed for the documentary, he took the documentary off line, but within hours had re published it under a different title. I complained, he did nothing, so I complained to his boss Caroline Diehl chief executive of The Community Channel and The Media Trust – http://www.guardian.co.uk/charity-awards/judge-caroline-diehl I provided Caroline with more than enough evidence to back up my claims, and within hours she ordered the offending ‘Talking Stalking’ Documentary to be removed from the international public domain. But, not before I could download a copy as evidence.
I currently have a civil action against this producer but he is avoiding service of further court documents I had to serve on him this week. The other producer Toby Coaker
http://coaker.wordpress.com/ – https://twitter.com/TobyCoaker has gone to ground, will not answer emails or a letter sent to him at his family home, demanding answers, in fact no one involved in this documentary will answer questions. See the top video on Coakers’ wordpress page, the ‘Talking Stalking’ documentary, no longer there, this version actually linked to the Actors’ own youtube channel and had been online like the official version for 8 moths before I discovered myself and my partner were being slandered and defamed in this documentary.
Here is a video showing emails from various people connected to this farce, along with snippets from the ‘Talking Stalking’ Documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZumqqjIFx-Y&feature=youtu.be Over to you to do what you do best Tom, expose the buggers PLEASE !
