I've noticed! So it's gone from being "nothing accidental" to "strange and lonely".
Damage is already done, I'm afraid. Foul, stinking, muckracking trash that does real journalism a terrible disservice.

I read the article and the one's underneath, very pleased I don't buy the Daily Mail.
I know we have freedom of speech and am thankful of that. It means I can say she's talking bollox from beyond the stone age and she should be sent back there.

For anyone who gets to this late, the original title of the nasty little article was "Why there was nothing 'natural' about Stephen Gately's death"

M&S and BT have pulled their ads from the article...or the Disabilist Mail Daily Heil Daily Wail hand wringing bigots  panic stricken money grabbers have done it for them.

Really? 

I can't believe this bit!

"Another real sadness about Gately's death is that it strikes another blow to the happy-ever-after myth of civil partnerships.

Gay activists are always calling for tolerance and understanding about same-sex relationships, arguing that they are just the same as heterosexual marriages. Not everyone, they say, is like George Michael.

Of course, in many cases this may be true. Yet the recent death of Kevin McGee, the former husband of Little Britain star Matt Lucas, and now the dubious events of Gately's last night raise troubling questions about what happened."

What exactly is she saying? That those two deaths make for a case against same sex marriage? Would anyone like to hazard a guess to how many heterosexual marriages end in tragedy? I can name one from my small family alone.

This is the second time the Daily Mail has wound me up tonight and I've only been online for ten minutes. I hate that paper!

 I just had a look, and it appears to be down. Hope that means the poisonous bint is shaking in her LK Bennetts...

Playing Devil's Advocate here, but  ALL the papers have been spouting salacious stuff about the poor man since his untimely death....yet no other 'columnist' has been as horrible as Ms Moir.

Bloody funny lot, those gay people.  *shakes head, bewildered*

Me too! First couple of stories I clicked on were poisonous witterings from there.

I'm now amusing myself with the spoof comment generator but they are all too depressingly realistic.

You've been reading the vile comments on the baby/train story too then?

I think I'm going to boycott all Daily Mail links from now on.

Another brilliant blog about this.

They've all been desperate for a bit of sleaze or scandal because they know it sells...gay or straight...famous or not...but the way she tried to drag in Civil Partnerships and the general wording and tone of the piece was out and out homophobia.

Yep!  I dunno what planet they all live on.

Ta PinkBabe.

Charlie Brooker's piece is up already!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comm...phen-gately-jan-moir

And the woman herself says:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/medi...phen-gately-response

So we either didn't read it properly, or we're part of a "clearly orchestrated" conspiracy against her

Well said Charlie Brooker,love him!

Some people, particularly in the gay community

No Jan, ALL people who aren't galloping bigots.

I just read the artice and I don't really think it was homphobic - in bad taste yes but not really homophobic!!  From reading it the impression I was getting was that she was saying his death had something to do with his night out before!! 

I think her timing of the article is wrong and she should wait to find out the real reason for his death before making such assumptions - I do think though that the article has been blown out of all proportion!!

Stephen Fry has 'twittered' the following:

"I gather a repulsive nobody writing in a paper no one of any decency would be seen dead with has written something loathsome and inhumane."

So Jan Moir needs 2 attempts to say what she means does she? Some journalist.

She is now squirming. What a nasty piece of work that article is.

Ok Jan Moir, we didn't read it right the first time, so in the second statement you still raise the same points that no one agreed with in the first article. She's a prize twat, and well done Charlie Brooker...nail and head for him

Excellent that the loathsome bint is now receiving a major backlash for her trashy article.

I think it's hilarious!  The situation, I mean.

You just know the woman's probably a girly liberal and an avid fan of Shami Chakrabarti, really; she's just writing for her readership.  It's like the Sun writers and editors: you'd be forgiven for thinking they're morons who can only write simple sentences and one or two sentence paragraphs but they're probably capable of writing prose like Dostoevsky in their spare time.

Reference:
Love it

It was very nasty Leccy.....not sure whether it was homophobia or trying to stir up the muck she was implying about the  relationship between Stephen and his partner and the Bulgarian guy. Whatever! The article was downright horrible

If she wants to prostitute her talents (whatever those may be) by churning out shite for Daily Mail poison-droolers to lick at over their kedgeree, then more fool her.
Actually, despite it being another rabid rag, it's well known in the industry that the Sun has some of the sharpest writing and punchiest headlines in the business.

I am incandesent with RAGE. I would love that spiteful, vicious hate filled hag to come over to Dublin and voice her vitrolic ramblings to Stephen's family and friends to their faces.



What a nasty piece of work Jan Moir is, absolutely despicable. Rest in peace Stephen

i love charlie brooker now way to pull her 'article' apart

also when Moir said people complaining hadn't read her article properly and that most of them are of the gay community..was she suggesting that gay people are thick?

Wtg to blogger that Queenie linked to who wrote this


"Now look- don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Jan Moir’s weird face. Some of my best friends are Jan Moir’s weird face, although I wouldn’t let it adopt children as they might be bullied. But let us be absolutely clear about this. Normal faces don’t wake up in the morning looking like that. Whatever happened between Jan Moir and her weird face is anyone’s guess. But it strikes a blow against the happy-ever-after myth of loathsome gutter journalism spewed by people with weird faces.”


Interestingly, they had a debate on the Wright Stuff a few days ago asking if the coverage of this young lads death was homophobic. I missed most of the debate but they were citing some of the stuff that had been written in various rags and the tone was definitely homophobic

This article is nothing more than a polished turd.

it's not even polished, although the dailymail have tried to.

my mum always used to say "you can't polish a poo"

Oooh BBC page says over 1000 complaints received and M&S made them remove their adverts from her page!!!

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8311499.stm

She has her very own personal complaint link on the PCC website now.

Exactly my point!

Daily Mail publishes ramblings of a cunt.  I'm shocked.

I'm always shocked when they ramble.

Doubt the PCC will do much to punish her.  Paul Dacre (Editor of the Daily Mail) is on the PCC Code Committee board.

sorry lol


Jan now says that she cannot possibly be homophobic because her son is gay.............
