]]> Comment on The nasty coverage of Margaret Moran’s court appearance by leehttp://minority-thought.com/media/2011/09/the-nasty-coverage-of-margaret-morans-court-appearance#comment-2073 lee Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:33:09 +0000 http://minority-thought.com/?p=4072#comment-2073 Its such a sad indictment of our society that so many people buy this hateful rag, of course Mrs Moran has a case to answer, but the so called journalist who scrawled this "toilet-wall rubbish" cannot even bring themselves to put their own name by it....surely that by itself speaks volumes? On a more general note what can any fair minded person expect when buying this hate rag? when you look at the list of regular contributors, the knuckle-dragger Littlejohn [BNP Nick Griffin's favourite journalist] that alone should tell you all you need about this odious homophobe....Kelvin MacKenzie, Melanie Phillips, Jan Moir and the chief immigrant hater herself, Aussie immigrant and self proclaimed moral conscience of Britain Amanda Platell. Lets hope that Chillcott makes these hateful people answerable for the bile they regular y serve up.

]]> Comment on Daily Mail uncovers the ‘truth’ about Catgate by Timhttp://minority-thought.com/media/2011/10/daily-mail-uncovers-the-truth-about-catgate#comment-2003 Tim Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:23:21 +0000 http://minority-thought.com/?p=4794#comment-2003 I went to school with Jason Groves. In fact we went inter-railing round Europe together when we were 17. Haven't seen him for 20 years - the last I heard of him he was "Beast of Bodmin" correspondent for a Cornish newspaper. So I was shocked to find him referenced in this piece. Actually not that shocked. He was always a bit of a c**t. I went to school with Jason Groves.
