Is the Journalist that wrote this very biased and in some places it appears libelous story.

Googling him, he wrote the last expose story as well.

Has this person nothing better to do with their time than ruin people's lives?

Yes, it is the same name as the previous article.

I suggest action is needed that will hurt NOTW where it hurts - in the pocket!

If everyone here calls the advertisers on the NOTW website and explains VERY forcefully why you WON'T be using their services, then it might, just might, persuade them to reconsider where they spend their money.

Your starter for 10 is expedia.co.uk, whose advert appears on the page with this article.

Their contact details are:

EXPEDIA CORPORATE TRAVEL UK Ltd 110 Middlesex street London E1 7HY UNITED KINGDOM Tel. : + 44 (0)871 330 7120

Their marketing director is Elyas Chowdhury and the managing director Caroline Cartellieri.

There is nothing that marketing people hate more than the idea that their advertising budget is being spent reaching people who aren't interested, let alone people who react negatively to seeing that advertising message.

And their is nothing that managing diectors hate more than being told why people WON'T be using their company, if that reason is because of exactly where their marketing director is placing advertisements.

If everyone here can make just one phone call on Monday morning then I suggest that it's to expedia. The worst that can happen is that they ignore us but the potential outcome is that they pull their advertising from NOTW :-)

Please everyone, give it a go!

SN

ETA: Calling their advertising agency wouldn't hurt either:

Duckworth Finn Grubb [how appropriate!] Waters

41 Great Pulteney Street London W1F 9NZ

T: 020 7734 5888

I will do this. I have never brought the NOTW in my life and I am not going to start now so I would appreciate a list of some of the bigger advertisers.

This kind of persecution should not be allowed to take place.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your messages of support. They have been passed on.

URGENT REQUEST

Please don't click on the web links. The more you do so, the longer the sites will remain current and come up on searches. That will prolong the agony.

Thanks

A dirty mind is a joy for life. :-p

Now THAT's scary. The local community really should do some digging.

I disagree, the photo was public, I think on IC (as I'd previously seen it and that's how I know that another friend is in the photo).

It was a picture taken to advertise a munch, originally for the website, it was taken as a 'mock' pose on Faiths' phone/camera.

If I find out who shopped her they have a real problem coming them and I'm scary! Rarrrr! See?

Not the case Robin, please see my post above.

The picture was actually lifted directly from Saffy's website.

It'd be advisable, if we really want to help, to take care not to discuss this as the NOTW actively encourages people to sell information to them.

Imagine if one of us is talking about this in the pub, some 'nilla picks up on what we're talking about and sells on the dirt. It'll just make things worse.

And...

Please be aware that every time we click the links to the story online we're actually increasing the profile of the exposé on the web.

So Sorry to read this horrid sleazy article Mistress S. I hope you are getting good legal advice about this and of course we'd all support you in any legal action.

this new law is only going to make stuff like this worse as the government further demonises kinky people.

I am so surprised they can still get away with this stuff. perhaps we can do an expose on the blood journalist. i just dont know how they get away with destroying people's lives like this - while there's real news going on. and i cant believe anyone still buys this paper for idiots. one thing is I hope nobody here still reads it.

the quotes can't be real people from this community 'pals' do not even talk like that - surely his sources can be demanded and exposed as lies.

Another career potentially ruined for the sake of a few titillating paragraphs. This has to be stopped. I don't know how, but it must.

Let's hope there's some lies in the piece. If there is, she should take them to the cleaners for loss of her career. I'd donate to a legal fighting fund. Perhaps this community needs a central fund or some pro-bono lawyers to help in these types of cases.

To the lady in question: be strong - it will be tomorrow's chip paper.

Support http://www.backlash-uk.org.uk/ . //We need to contact our MP's NOW http://www.writetothem.com/ . Ask them to support Baroness Howe's call for a select committee and take out [CJIB Part 5] Section 63 until they report. Or it's law on 9th May.

I'm going to play devils advocate here.

I have known Saffy since just before she became a pro-dom, which is probably about five or six years. I see her as a friend without question.

The problem is though, this story IS newsworthy because most people are completely uninformed and think that because she is a pro-dom that it will somehow have a negative effect on how she teaches her children. Or maybe that she is some kind of pervert who may endanger them. They don't know how kind she is, they don't know that she would buy you a pint if you'd had a shit day and needed a friend, they don't know that she's the type of person to constantly text me (whose totally disenchanted with the scene) to tell me about events to help me get out and enjoy myself. The don't know anything and think they can sum this person up with a load of sweeping, uninformed bullshit comments in a newspaper.

It is news worthy because like it or loathe it, people are fcuking ignorant.

*edit* my special olympian spelling strikes again!
