Complaining about a journalist

Postby johnfinch on Mon Sep 14, 2009 8:08 pm

The Daily Hate Mail has published this article

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive ... rrari.html

Read right to the end and you'll see why all cyclists should complain about this utterly moronic piece of "journalism"

And here's the site for you to make a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission

http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/form.html

Sorry, I know this isn't the usual sort of thing for this forum, but it's important for newspapers to know they can't get away with advocating violence and intimidation against cyclists.

Already done... Check out Brad Wiggins Twitter page - he's livid... Unfortunately you are a little late to catch James Martin's Wikipedia page... It was fairly amusing to say the least..

I've been in contact with a police officer about this case, and if the cyclists come forward to the law... well, this bloke's practically confessed :lol:

So I've e-mailed the BCF, and suggested that they contact all affiliate clubs to see if their members were victims.

Wouldn't it be nice to see him getting sent to the dock?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow, this story is spreading quickly!

The CTC have already appealed for the cyclists to come forwards, Brag Wiggins (+ his wife) have been abusing him via twitter and Robbie McEwan has called for Lance to host a ride outside his front door!

Yes it would :twisted:

Usually, you can look on the bright side of any article, no matter how biased it is, as long as there is an element of humour in there. But this article appears to be pure hatred, for some unknown reason - unless you can count the reason as being 'cyclists turn up outside his house'. Oh no! How I feel your pain Mr. Martin... :cry: :cry:

Hehe! Brad's comments were somewhat amusing! What was on Wikipedia then?

Ah, no matter - I found a link to a site where someone had taken a picture of it before it was removed! lol :lol:

The wikipedia entries cannot be repeated here ..... all that can be said is that various paragraphs were changed and inserted which consisted of language that would have made "The Kop End" of Anfield seem like a tea party at Buckingham Palace...

It was amusing.... with some comments if not genius, at least showing a good command of the English language....

I think he forgets that all other cyclists are tax paying people and whatever else he said :evil:

He's apologised on his website.

And he's still a fool.

Maybe its time to update your signature.
