An article in the favourite PH newspaper tells the story.

If she got the job then perhaps she could be convicted of fraud.

I am reasonably sure this sort of thing goes on all the time though...

Am I reading this right?

The story is dated 19th August 2007!!

Even the comments are almost two years old.

We don't know that for sure. She could simply be a young, impressionable, but talented journalist looking for a big break.

As a former editor, I have many times told writers what I want them to write; it's part of the trade.

I think we should direct our fire at the Mirror on this one, not the journalist.

A plan like this will have come from the top.

Oh, I agree 100%.

Let's hope the Tories get on with a Private Prosecution if plod don't take action.

"But her real aim was to spy on the Conservatives' Election plans and to help Labour win a fourth term."

With the way Labour have been destroying the country, she should be brought up on treason charges.

The story arrived today from one of my sons who was at Pates with this, erm, spy, and had been told in conversation, then dug up the article.

I only posted the thread as 'yet more' in view of the McPoison story, and it is more. There was no intention to imply anything contemporaneous. Any such steer was unintentional.

A search using the (t)rusty PH search function gave no previous threads on the name. It did link to a lad mag babe competition for some reason so that was nice.

She is quite fit though. Surely some senior tory could have at least blackmailed her for sex first?

Missed opportunity.

Why? Do you recognise the face (or name) from meetings?

If a partisan newspaper with nu labian party affiliation has an employee send an e-mail from its computer to falsely portray her position, then agreed, that would be consistent with membership of a Party of incompetent sleaze-ridden muppets, but I can't see any direct evidence for it in the article.

Good try, but I've never voted Labour let alone been a member.

No, I didn't think so.

So what you've done, is post a link to a two year old story about a young journalist with no links to the Labour party yet tried to turn it into a rant against them...well done.

Thanks for the praise.

No ranting anywhere...badly done.

The link is clear - does the Daily Mirror frequently contain politically partisan pieces, including what passes as editorial, favouring the Conservatives? Would their employee have helped the Labour Party cause by agreeing to participate in this deception?

As to spotting the story now, at least through the conversation with my son I spotted it before you did, and according to the PH search function, before other PHers also smile

Never too late to nail the underhand tactics of left-leaners, not referring to Prof Beard of course who could never be accused of anything of the kind.

Do any papers not contain politically partisan pieces?
Does that mean any political parties are to blame?

Being the first to post it does not mean you were the first to notice it, just that you were the first to care enough.

Are you as diligent in hunting down right-wing scamps too?

Yes. Do you have a point?
