First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

Silly Season in the Media

category national | arts and media | news report author Tuesday June 07, 2005 22:49author by jeff Report this post to the editors

School girls insult each other using wow technology

According to the Sindo's story, school girls from posh schools are threatening each other via websites, e mail, and other crap.

Thus, progress means that instead of mean little bitches meeting each other at their respective bus stops and pulling each others hair out, like they did ten years back, they are now using the ubiquitous internet to intimidate and threaten.

Parents eveywhere must be shitting themselves, especially celebrities like one notable male RTE newsreader , whose daughter attends one notable private school. Watch the news tonight to see if any of the male newsreaders are visibly stressed; they might just have caught their wee girls writing something like this choice quote from the report;
"HELLO!! the loreto girls r like so sound!! u holy childers r jus f***ing jealous!! learn how to put on fake tan . . . Properly!!"
What next? D4 princesses turn to kidnapping each other and broadcasting decapitations on the net, complete with towels on their heads and banners reading The Holy Amazonian Warriors of Loretta, and ? Well, either that, or someone from the Sindo will make up such a story. Seriously, I'd love to be a journalist at the Sindo, you actually get paid for giving the editor tidbits of info like this and call it news. F*ckin A!

I don't think the Sindo made up such a story - but without giving out the location of such information on the web, and I can't find it though searching, I can only conclude that it's infantile nonsense posted on some message board somewhere. Does anyone care? No. Did the Sindo have a space to fill? Yes? Will some of the people mentioned in the postings end up working in the SIndo anyway? Probably.

Really, who cares what the Private School Debs Junior Cup Team generation thinks?

More children in the north west of engurland have been targeted by camera phone bullies than anywhere else in the country. Up to 14 per cent of youngsters in the region, who took part in a recent survey, said they have been the subject of threatening or embarrassing pictures taken on mobile phones, compared to a country-wide average of 10 per cent.

Education chiefs across Northern Ireland were today urged to pour more resources into tackling school bullying. The demand was made as shock new research revealed that one in five young people has been bullied or threatened via their mobile phone or computer. DUP assemblyman, Ian Paisley Jnr, said he was "sadly not surprised" by the results of research published today.
