“Be careful or they will ban you too.”

“This story was in the National press Wednesday yet it takes another 2 days to reach TiG! 200 comments on Mail online.

TiG will not respond to your reasonable request other than to issue you (and anyone else who comments here) with a warning and possible ban”

“Yes, I saw it in the papers on Wednesday, too. Good old TiG, with it's finger on the pulse yet again.”

“Oops, that is to say, its, not it's.”

“Jobsworths! Stock replies (if you're lucky) and the watchword "If in doubt – cut it out" !”

“I was very keen to comment on that story!”

“About 3 or 4 of us did, before they pulled them. The gist of the comments were would a man have been sentenced the same way?”

“Short answer is- no, it would have been very different.”

“no, a man would have got a long prison sentance”

“Yep, that's pretty much what we said. Hence the misandric TiG shutting down the comments.”

“the tig moderators are judge, jury and executioners, so don't upset them. its easy to do, that means not agreeing with their point of view”

“Not much point in a "free" press any more I am sorry to report .
Even the stories are written very badly with minimal information.”

“Well said, Mr Garnet. Northcliffe Media should be throughly ashamed. All they need to do is add a Daily Fail Sidebar of Shame, because after all, were all obsessed with celebs, pop stars and the suchlike, and their "doings", rather than go to the trouble of doing some serious local investigate journalism for us to read, and to be proud of our local newspaper, eh?”

“We'll have to get Lily Allen to tweet about it... =/”
