If we're going by the standards of predictable responses, you're barely convincing as a real person either Luka!
Insert a statement that any Sun reader might find to be overly analytical, politically correct, or even a smidgen lefty or intellectual and you spew vague invective (always careful not to argue against the substance of the post of course) like some reactionary Pavlov's dog...

BTW, Id suggest that anyone interested in how the media 'ranks' news and selects stories should read Nick Davies' 'Flat Earth News', for an insiders (non-academic/non-lefty) view of how commercial pressures have affected the production of news in the UK - including the astounding fact that over 80% of all news stories in UK papers come either from Wire services or PR press releases...

I didn't follow this story after a certain point. As I understood it their scheme, allegedly, was to try and extract money from the 'Maddie fund'. What happened next, apart from the Police arresting everyone within half a mile of the whole business.

i believe, the application to the maddie fund was later on and led to the police arrests. i've got friends who work in dewsbury, and the whole saga is very sad and murky. much like the place itself.

my statement still stands regardless.
mr lee can be pompous at times, but he's still an excellent 'comedian'. for a book reader.

A few Dissensus posters by the look of things...
Thats quite a Zizekian position you've taken there Luka. Criticising leftists for responding to arguments with positions you think are boring and obvious because you agree with them...

yeah so what, its true! imagine on a music thread... it'd be like saying,
has anyone ever noticed how public enemy sound angry and they're music is really noisy and unmusical, quite thrilling isn't it.
or, has anyone ever notcied how prince somtimes sings like a girl
(first time i've been accused of being zizekian though...)

There was a piece on the news the other week about the popularity of fencing lessons in a community centre in Tower Hamlets, which I thought was interesting.
On the surface it seemed a bit mental, but I assume it works in the same way as martial arts - kids learn fighting skills but they also learn focus and (fiddles with monocle) discipline.
