I can't think of an apt title

Announcing the draft royal charter, Mr Cameron told MPs: "What happened to the Dowlers, to the McCanns, to Christopher Jeffries and to many other innocent people who've never sought the limelight was utterly despicable.

And the McCann's next book is going to be entitled: "We have officially never sought the limelight."

I don't understand the sentence.

Is it supposed to say thought?

Never sought the limelight was utterly despicable...say what.

No, it's the past participle of the verb to seek.

Well if this act is designed to prevent trial by media and media intrusion into the lives of the families of victims then it's a good thing. but to cite the McCanns as an example when they have made every effort to court media attention makes me wonder how much thought was put into this.

I feel this thread's life will be cut short soon.

not a fan of debates about free speech and the the freedom of the press then?

 

[Redz]

That's not the spin you've put on this thread though is it?

Yes, true. My response was rather confrontational, for which I apologise for. you are absolutely correct In the slant i put on the post, but that doesn't mean it's not a topic worthy of discussion.

 

[Redz]

Put it this way: a McCann bashing thread won't stay open for long. If conversation avoids that then fine.

that wasn't the point I was making.

 

[Redz]

And you go on by saying ...

That if an accused person has already been judged and tried by the tabloids before they have even stepped in front of a court then they are at a disadvantage.

your turn

amirite?

Not quite, just pointing out the ludicrous justification that Cameron gave for censoring and censuring the press.
