Has the News of the World got no more tricks up its sleeve. Once more they trot out the wealthy arab to ensnare some unsuspecting celebrity in front of whom they dangle an irresistible carrot just so they can drag his name into the public eye where they proceed to disembowel them in a most public manner. They did it to the Countess of Wessex and now they’ve done it again to Sven Goran Erickson.
What a one trick pony they have become. And why did they do it? Well, one would love to believe it’s because they see it as their duty to publically expose those elements of society who may constitute a menace. But you don't have to be a born cynic to recognise the fact they do it because they want to sell as many newspapers as they can to get their circulation figures up in order to sell their advertising space at a premium... but to whom? Only the sad, anti-social malicious who can just about read. Yes it's for them that they take some poor sod and attempt to destroy his life.
For that purpose alone they focus on someone who looks like a mark, an easy target, then they set up that target with the oldest trick in the book, the promise of wealth the details of which they secretly record and photograph with long lenses which they then flog on the front pages of their tawdry rags bought by dull, balding, sex starved little men, men with a short focus span and dreary fat women in leggings and sweat shirts (it’s all they can't get into) who have no lives of their own.
And if it isn’t a celebrity they’re haranguing its a sex pest or paedophile or any perverse individual they can sensationalise, all in the name of advertising revenue. The interesting thing is that they have affiliations with 'The Helping Hand Campaign' a subsidiary of 'Save The Children'. What do they do? Why do they have a campaign to fight “Bullying”. Ironic eh?
What delightful people they are. You'd want to meet them in a burning building when you twisted your ankle I'm sure!
