thanks for the guardian link. after registering, i
found the article. Zoe Williams does not link to
anything collaberating either the article by cameron
nor the apology.
looking at all the other articles on the pages that
came up, i do not find a real reliable source here
either, deri. i am sorry guys, when i look at a source
and all the articles lean one way or the other, i have
to take it with a grain of salt. like i said i do not
trust my media sources and i see no reason after
looking at this tripe to trust any of this. however i
am waiting for someone to really convience me.
