The Daily Mail on a racist loser with a hard-on for making bombs:
Lewington was said to have an unhealthy obsession with Unabomber Timothy McVeigh
Well, Lewington - the sort of moron who would idolise terrorist maniacs - may well have been a fan of the Unabomber. And of Timothy McVeigh. He wouldn't have been a fan of the "Unabomber Timothy McVeigh" since McVeigh wasn't the Unabomber.

Still, never mind the facts when you've got pictures of bomb components to pad out your article...

Sweeney, Scientology and Speech

Whilst anyone who takes on Scientology deserves a pat on the back in my book, I am afraid I am going to disagree with one of John Sweeney’s statements after his outburst against one of the cult’s – sorry, religion’s – representatives. He said:

"I am a British subject, not an American citizen, and in my country we have a freedom of speech. I have a right to report that."

Er, no, John. There is no guaranteed freedom of speech here in the UK – the government can suppress freedom of speech. You have no right to report it here - whereas in the US, freedom of speech is enshrined in the constitution.

John Sweeney would do far better in making his case of he got his facts right. And if, by his own admission, he didn’t end up looking like “an exploding tomato”…
