Private eye landed through my letter box this morning and it would seem GB was probably telling the truth after all regarding his sons medical records!
I can't be arsed typing the whole article but here are some of the most important bits.
"The sun has close and long standing relationship with a female health professional at the hospital in question. It appears very likely that the member of the public is her Husband. A brief internal enquiry by Fife Health Board concluded lamely that there was no evidence that any of it's health worjkers had accessed Fraser's records" and when the Gaurdian questioned the Sun about this, it provoked another round of shouting and swearing fromCaseby. At one point he yelled: "Look! You're fucked. Fife Health Board have just cleared our source"

Hey! I was supposed to be doing some work, but I just spent 2 hours reading old Taibbi articles. Some good stuff to keep me angry about while on holiday.

Jaspersharpe · July 22, 2011, 11:08:43 am

In a story that's been mainly overlooked due to Hackgate, I called it totally wrong on the Johann Hari story. Looks as if it goes a lot further than a few inserted quotes!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/12/johann-hari-suspended-independent

Had it been just the original allegations then I still don't think it was such a big deal but it seems that they were the tip of the iceberg......

What odds on him being sacked in a blaze of controversy and then attempting a career reinvention on Celebrity Big Brother?

Or the Sun on Sunday and plagiarising phone messages?

I saw this on the guido site:

Shame, I always rated him as a columnist/pundit. He's certainly one of the best talking heads on Newsnight Review.

superfurrymonkey · July 22, 2011, 07:01:28 pm

It is a shame. Whenever I've seen him on things like dateline London he always gives a good account of himself and certainly seems to know his stuff, so why he feels the need to stoop to this level of journalism I don't know!

Never before has the word comedy been so inappropriately used. Apart from My Family.

Not being of a religious bent, can anyone explain to me what shooting scores of unarmed teenagers; or blowing up a city centre; has to do with being a Christian?

Dear Prof. Dawkins,
