'My column at the News of the World' blog discussion

callas

I had been a follower of yours for years on the radio and on this site - I have never read your column in the NOTW and didn't even know you had one.

Could you ever imagine what it must have been like for the parents of Milly to have hope that their daugther was alive?

I could never be assoicated with anyone who had any connection with this deed, I find it hard to believe you do. By keeping your column the one big message you are giving out, is you don't want to lose your salary. You say you can jump ship, so why stay?

As far as reaching people in need of advice this site does excatly that.

Too little too late Martin, now the paper has gone.

You should have made a stand yesterday based on common sense and not had to wait to be embarrassed by the people on here.

NOTW is closing after this Sunday's edition, so the decision has been made for you.

James Murdoch is trying to do a PR job. Not that I ever read the NOTW in my adult life, but this decision has just put a huge number of people out of work. But, I bet the Sun will go 7 days a week now. Same crap different package.

I agree. A Sunday edition of the Sun will be produced, perhaps by the exNOTW staff, doing the same jobs at the same desks! So no real change then.

Perhaps Martin can have a MoneyGrabbingExpert column in the new Sunday Sun :rotfl:

NOTW down, Sun, Sky & the Times to go... but the stain on Martin will remain I'm afraid

What a load of rubbish, do you think this country can only think about Martin and his stance with the NOTW? The NOTW will be no more and Martin will carry on as before: helping thousands of people with his site, he's done a good job and maybe a bit less hate and a bit more "niceness" would be the order of the day please

I worked for the newspaper group (Thomson Regional Newspapers) in the 1980's and Murdoch was even then trying to buy the Sunday Sun title, and Lord Thomson of Fleet would never give up the title name. The name is now owned by Trinity Mirror, so you never know what price they will put on it.

I find it sad that many decent people will lose their jobs in a PR campaign. Rather than be hoodwinked, we should all cease buying all of News Corp products if we really feel the horror of the phone hacking. James Murdoch should be held accountable.

Shame that Martin had a chance to get out before the ship sank. Now his reputation is tarnished for good.

Too late now


There is a 4 letter word beginning & ending in T with an A in the middle that is perfect for a description of your behaviour on the subject.

How many people will have "morals" when a voucher off your shopping appears in the last NOTW edition and on the Grabbit board?
