You know much as I don't approve of censorship, this does seem a bit needlessly offensive.
I mean there's a cross over point between good manners and political correctness isn't there?

Lots of very nice things being said about Ken Russell on the radio at the moment. He wasn't to everyone's taste but he was never boring and his films had flair and originality that a lot of British films lacked.

yea. I don't think that you can never make fun of anyone but as you said there is a crossover point. Making fun of children with disabilties crosses that line in my opinion. Especially comments like that.

With defences like these, who needs enemies...

It's why their jets are 350% over budget, their aircraft carriers don't work and they're about to start a pointless war with Montenegro.

Well this odious specimen confirms everything you thought about tabloid journalists:
That man deserves something horrible. Really horrible. Like a pig eating off his genitals in front of a stadium of cheering viewers.

He was only following orders-
"We did all these things for the editors, Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson," said McMullan, who was News of the World deputy features editor between 1994 and 2001.
"They're the scum of journalism for trying to drop me and my colleagues in it."
