No doubt most of the NotW readers are now googling Liberation as we speak so they can get a slice of the action! That's if they are actually intelligent enough to know how to use a computer search engine rolleyes

Doubtful, unless the NotW printed a step by step guide for using google. Though no doubt that would be in a series of articles starting off with how to get out of bed, how to take a shower, how to clean your teeth, how to get dressed, how to switch on a computer, etc.
SHOCK!!!!!!!! HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE USE THE INTERNET TO LOOK FOR THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rolleyes
This is a downright disgrace. What I can never understand is why the press have such an axe to grind with regard to swinging parties. Consensual fun in a safe, controlled environment is a national scandal, whilst teenagers getting wasted and doing all sorts after supping white lightning on a Friday night is "Socially acceptable" and therefore not in the public interest.
Am I missing something? dunno
Apologies to (those teenagers old enough to use this site) who do not fit the stereotypical criteria in the above message- I just needed to put the issue into context!
I really hate the kind of faux moralistic stance these tabloid "journalists" (and I use the term loosely) take when it comes to stories like this. Is it any wonder we have to keep our activities somewhat secret with articles like this one portraying us as depraved sexual deviants?
Please NoTW , spare us your puritanical rhetoric and stop stirring up trouble for us. mad :x :x
And this just after the excellent, well researched article in The Guardian...

and why so hung up on the fact that some of them were . . . OMFG . . . . accountants!:shock: how seedy!

Well it's probably got something to do with the Monty Python theme running through the article. If you recall in the early Python sketches they were always taking the piss out of accountant's because they were so boring! That image has sort of prevailed in peoples minds. Well that's where the shock value for the NOTW readers comes in as they discover.... Shock!..... Horror! that accountants!!!!! are actually having more more fun than them!

who the fook writes a story like that? they can't possibly be serious. loon wonder if they're hiring?
<<< sends his CV and a review of partners to the editor . . . . >>

You could try and start a 'bollox' column Neil....oops, sorry forgot....the whole of NOTW is full of bollox anyway! Actuallly, that should read 'bollocks'!
LC wink
Having read the story it would seem that there could have been breeches of the Press Complaints Commission's code of conduct:
1) Under Clandestine devices and subterfuge they say "The press must not seek to obtain or publish material acquired by using hidden cameras or clandestine listening devices. " - the photo's they've used clearly look as though they used some sort of hidden camera.
2) Under Privacy they say "Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health and correspondence, including digital communications. Editors will be expected to justify intrusions into any individual's private life without consent. It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent. Note - Private places are public or private property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy." - I'm not familiar with the place in the article but would assume that a private club is somewhere where folks should expect a reasonable degree of privacy.
I'd have thought that the folks in the pics could have some sort of basis for making a complaint here. Of course whether the PCC would ever view this as any wrong doing by the Notw is another matter.
I've been trying to get back to Liberation for weeks.
Now I see I've even missed the chance to get my picture in the papers. Bollocks.
well can't any member of the general public make a complaint to the PCC?
i know with the broadcast media anyone can complain to the ITC so why should the written media be any difference....
or we can all send them a copy of the NOTW artical side by side with the excellently written Guardian piece on the same place........
just a though.... i would love to see the reaction of the "News of the Screws" to be bombarded with complaints.....or to have the PCC brething down their backs....
we have seen that SH can mobilise.... let do it again

Don't think the PPC would do anything, its all one big club isn't it?
Remember when we were in Denmark a few years ago, there was a story in the local paper that three local Councillors had been to a Brothel got pissed and kicked over plant stands and bins in the town centre on the way home.
In Denmark the headline was "Drunken Councillors trash town centre" In Britain it would have been "Local Councillors in Sex Orgie Shame"

Yep absolutely, anybody can make a complaint if they feel the article was in breach of any of their codes of conduct. The PCC site even gives tips on filing a complaint with them.
Forgot to say in response to:

Well lets every body do both.
Complain to the PCC and write to the NOTW's Editor

- on the PCC form they ask for the codes you belive have been breached. Thanks to kardiffuk for the below
"The press must not seek to obtain or publish material acquired by using hidden cameras or clandestine listening devices. "
"Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health and correspondence, including digital communications. Editors will be expected to justify intrusions into any individual's private life without consent. It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent. Note - Private places are public or private property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy."
Its amazing that having been there they write a piece that someone who hadn't been there could have written.
Pure "Ban this Filth" stuff really..suprised they didn't add the old "We made our excuses and left" line. rolleyes
But also a pertinent reminder of how determined THEY are to attack something harmless and pleasurable between consenting adults just to sell their vile rag of a paper.
And how difficult is it going to be for them to infiltrate a munch? - AND print facial pictures of ANYONE attending?!This really is a serious blow to the freer atmosphere thats developed in recent has done anything to be ashamed of but for clear reasons many need discretion and privacy - this kind of reporting and secret picture taking violates that - BUT - you can't win either way on this - they hate people being brave and open about it too.
Just a few comments from me,
Why didn't they publish the full address. I'll have to look it up now.
I bet it's good for business there now, with all the free advertising. lol.
I'll bet next weeks Sherry Ration that none of the senior staff or the reporters of the 'Screws of the World' have an untarnished private life. It's a pity we couldn't investigate some of them, and publish our findings,

By now our reporters were the only clubbers still clothed so made their excuses and left.
Well its the first time I have complained about anything in my life!!! :shock: But the complaint has been sent to the PCC.

I've just complained to both and I'm still seething. I've been to Liberation. It's a pre-condition of all these places that you can trust everybody there. It's part of the joy of it all. I feel this intrusion strongly because last night I was at a UK Rudegirls event and enjoying myself nicely when contrary to my express and stated wishes, a flash gun went off. I was extremely upset. I felt humiliated and betrayed. How could I trust any group iof Swingers again? The photographer (official) and an organiser apologised over and over and I saw the shot being deleted but I will never forget how exposed it made me feel. And , incidentally, how it curtailled mine and others pleasure as I flounced out in a total huff!!!
Any chance of this being 'stickied' until a significant number of us have complained?
Jezzay.
Just sent my complaint in to the PCC. If enough of us complain, it should make them sit up and take notice.

Sorry Flapjackboy - I read the article through a red mist and that crass cliche slipped through my bullshit detector! wink
People have been involved in sex wether i't's 3 somes,4 somes or group sex(orgies) for thousands of years anyone remember the Romans.....they were at it all the time and they tell us about that on the history one's looks upon that as sordid or depraved so why should it be is the press hoping to do ......ban more than two people having sex, outside of there own homes.....it's not likely to is the mentality they have that sex sales newspapers.
on a lighter note in a thousand years these newspaper reports could be considered important historical documents on how people had sex in the 21st century and could be an important lesson in there lives!
and to think all this going on two miles from my house :shock:

you poor thing!
well i have done my bit and complained to both.... biggrin :D
i think the idea of having it stickied is a great one... only if for a couple of days.....
just so people can read notice what is going on,
i think it has now gone beyond the question of a swinging club and infringed on peoples privacy......plus the fact it is lazy journalism...... bet they won't be putting that in there CV's
i also sent the journo's involved a copy of the guardian article... just to give the a clue to what balanced should look like....
i also sent the guradian another thank you for the refreshing approach they took.. and sent them a copy of the "screws" articale......
i'll let you know if i get anything back from either.......
sean xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I came along to sticky this and it is already done lol
I have complained also..... ohhhh I love complaining! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wouldn't it be funny if all this negative press about swingers had a positive effect with the readers maybe encouraged more to come out of their shells,not everyone who reads these papers must be totally ignorant!
One funny aspect of all this "sex" in the NOTW is that they actually daren't describe it in words or show anything but the most coy picture.
You'd actually wonder quite what this sex thing was if you didn't already know!
Of course - its a "Family Newspaper".
How revolting - the thought of a chld reading perverted filth like The News of The World!
All written by reporters who:
Are monogomous or celibate.
The ones in monogomy have only ever had the one partner ever.
Have only ever had sex on a bed in a bedroom.
Have never
Have never used a Vibrator or similiar such sex toy or
Have NEVER taken part in any act with more than one person.
Or with a member of their own sex.
etc etc..rolleyes
So basically NOTW reporters are boring gits then?
