Probably deserves its own thread.

Tom Newton Dunn has had to pull a truly insane piece that 'accidentally' linked to a neo-nazi website whilst trying to paint labour activists as extremists.

I honestly didn't think it was possible to be shocked by our gutter press any more, but here we are.

They probably realised they should save things like this until the very last day before voting, when many people won't have the processing time to realise it's bollocks.

I've seen a few unconfirmed reports that they had to take it down as the copyright is owned by Stormfront? Could be just shitposting though.

The Sun politics twitter seems to have deleted it? It never fails to amaze me though how Tom Newton-Dunn is invited on radio 4 to speak as a sensible correspondent on politics the same day as okaying a headline that's ike CORBYN: FUCKS BABIES WITH A SICKLE THEN BRAINS THEM WITH HAMMER

Copyright on what? The claims themselves aren't subject to copyright.

I suspect that someone even at The Sun decided that linking to Aryan Unity was a bit much. If there were legal threats, I doubt they were coming from the scum being cited, who will have enjoyed the signal-boost enormously.

QuoteThroughout the length of the boycott The Sun has offered multiple apologies, always lacking sincerity, always rejected and always inevitably followed by a Kelvin Mackenzie or editorial gaffe in relation to Liverpool further down the line. Today, it was revealed that Mackenzie will be leaving the newspaper after making comments comparing Everton player Ross Barkley – who has a Nigerian grandfather – to a gorilla, as well as further insults aimed at the people of Liverpool.

Fuck the Sun and anyone who works for it.

It stuns me that there isn't nationwide solidarity on this count. Everybody ought to have shunned it out of communal disgust. Don't know why people are happy to buy it in other counties. The paper would have smeared innocent people wherever the disaster happened. Folk in Derby reading it to this day as though they'd have been treated any better.

genuinely why is no one doing a sociological study of the sun's distribution oh wait. because murdoch would literally have their guts for garters.
