Daily Mirror - Has the pro-Labour tide turned?
2008-05-19 12:17:00 I was amazed to read an article in today's Daily Mirror that attacked the Labour "Tory toff" campaign being fought in Crewe and Nantwich. As Tony Parsons points out: "Gwyneth Dunwoody would never have run such a shallow campaign." Such critique of Labour's campaign comes as a welcome surprise after reading Brian Reade's pathetic article in the same paper last week. So I've got to ask: Are the Mirror going the way of the Sun in their support for Cameron's Conservatives? Has the Mirror's pro-Labour tide turned?Here is a snippet from Tony's article:As Labour supporters shrieked about rich Tories in Bentleys, they did not seem to have the faintest idea that Bentley has provided generations of Crewe families with work. In Crewe, a Bentley is a potent symbol of highly skilled, proud working men and a brand recognised around the world. Pointing self-righteous fingers might have worked elsewhere, but using a Bentley as an example of privilege in Crewe is thick. But there are other wo...

Zero tolerance and the fate of victims - Daily Mirror
2007-09-26 23:05:00 Zero tolerance and the fate of victims By Nikhil Mustafa Much has been said recently of zero tolerance of a number key areas of concern in this country. These include on corruption, waste, extra judicial killings, abductions, child recruitment, impunity etc. Much of these are in the terrain of regaling the readers of such assertions. It though is not so funny for those who meet such excesses. Much coffee has been poured, short eats consumed, workshops organized, submissions made on these issues. However, the pesty Sunday press continues to highlight as does on some Dailies that these excesses are part and parcel of our daily diet of horrors. It has come to the point at which discerning observers believe the reports are treated with disdain and dismissed with contempt by ...
Danielle Lloyd sues The Daily Mirror For Reporting She Had Sex With 50 Cent
2007-09-04 16:25:00 British model Danielle Lloyd has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Daily Mirror for claiming that she had sex with 50 Cent. The Press Gazette reports that Lloyd claims that The Daily Mirror published a story on their newspaper and website on July 11th headed ?Fiddy?s No Diddy? which reported that she sexually propositioned herself to 50 Cent thus leading to end of the relationship with her boyfriend Marcus Bent. Lloyd also claims that despite her publicity agent Ray Levine stressing to a writer for The Mirror that she had no sexual involvement with 50 Cent; the newspaper still published the story and didn?t add Levine?s response. Lloyd also alleges that The Mirror?s report spawned two stories on two unnamed websites with titles that read: ?Danielle Lloyd's steamy sex session with 50 Cent? and ?Marcus Bent No Longer Bangs This Chick.? Lloyd claims that the stories have damaged her professional and personal reputations, and that she has suffered distress and embarrassment. Sh...

Buddhism unites Myanmar and Sri Lanka - Daily Mirror
2007-08-30 22:17:00 Buddhism unites Myanmar and Sri LankaBy L.B.SenaratneMyanmar (then known as Burma) had connections with Sri Lanka for many years. Even before the Ven. Welivita Sangharaja Thera thought of bringing the Upasmapada from Thailand, 500 Buddhists monks arrived in the country from Myanmar and bestowed Upasampada on the banks of Mahaweli Ganga at Getambe in Kandy. It was one of these monks Ven. Suriyagoda Thera , who became the mentor for Ven. Welivita Sangharaja Thera.The Sri Dalada Maligawa stone pillars are gifts of Burmese devotees. The exposition casket, the large glass canopy over it, the intricately worked out tusks used during the exposition of the Sacred Relic are gifts from Myanmar.It was in this backdrop that the Myanmar Acting Prime Minister and Members of the Cabinet on their visit to Sri Lanka gifted the two Tuskers to Sri Dalada Maligawa.But, there is an interesting object within the inner Shrine Room of the Sri Dalada Maligawa, which is a 'Hair Broom?.At a time when questio...
Practising Buddhism around the world - Daily Mirror
2007-08-28 20:31:00 Practising Buddhism around the worldBy Ajahn BrahmavamsoWe think that once we develop these wonderful qualities of: Stillness, silence, peace, inner contentment, and freedom, they are always going to be there. And because of that we don’t actually keep hold of them, we don’t guard them. The Four Right Efforts need to be brought to mind. The Fourth Effort is perhaps the most important, as if the Buddha left the best to the last. That Fourth Right Effort is that the meditator strives, puts forth energy, and applies the mind to keep, develop, maintain and help to grow, any wholesome, skilful, thoughts which arise in the mind. You look after them and maintain them, so that they can grow stronger. Sometimes, you do all of the work to keep out the bad stuff, you do all the work to cultivate, and bring up the good stuff, but as soon as it’s there, you get heedless and allow it to disappear.Because of the laws of impermanence, suffering and non-self, and because of defilements in the ...
The significance of Nikini Poya - Daily Mirror
2007-08-28 20:19:00 The significance of Nikini PoyaBy Gamini Jayasinghe.Nikini full moon day falling due one month after the commencement of “Wassana Kala“the rainy season: is of special significance for Buddhists due to a number of incidents that took place on this day.Attainment of Arahatship by the Buddha’s chief attendant, Ananda Maha Thera, commencement of the first Dhamma Sangayana, convocation to settle the Buddhist canon and “Pasu Vas” or the commencement of the “Vas” period by those who had not started the period of sojourn on the Esala full moon day are some of them. For Sri Lankans this day is further more significant because of the world famous Kandy Esala Perahera which normally ends on this day.The rainy season in Dambadiva-India begins during the month of Esala (July – August). It is extremely cold in the snowy peaks of Himalayas and in the valleys where ascetics meditate under the shade of trees.Due to cold weather and heavy rain it is not convenient for them to sit unde...
Twenty years without Jothipala _ Daily Mirror
2007-07-02 02:18:00 Twenty years without JothipalaBy Ramesh UvaisThe 20th death anniversary of Sri Lanka's most popular vocalist H.R. Jothipala who mesmerized the masses with his irreplaceable voice, falls next Saturday, July 7.Though the country and the film industry in particular was unfortunate to lose him on July 7, 1987, he is regarded as the most popular people's singer even today.His demise was a stunning blow particularly to the Sinhala cinema which is still struggling to find a versatile playback voice to replace Jothi. Some critics are of the view that Jothi's demise was one of the major causes for the apparent downfall of the Sinhala cinema.Hettiarachchige Reginald Jothipala, born on February 12, 1936 studied at St. Lawrence College, Maradana and St.John's College, Dematagoda but never studied music as a subject even during the latter stages. As a schoolboy, poor Jothi used to spend most of his time in nearby tea kiosks listening to songs as his family did not possess a radio.One of the ... |
