We would like to say sorry for a tweet that was sent out earlier. It was an inappropriate attempt to make a joke, and we got it wrong.

But it's too late now, innit?

The spotty little oik who tweeted it was probably too thick and too busy sniggering at his clever little one-liner  to realise that his tweet might not chime well with Lazzeri's 12 page McCann Gloop Fest.

And it has only served to reinforce the notion that the culture down at The Scum is exactly like we thought it was.
Still, I guess oiky-boy has already been taken out and ...err ...... dealt with.

The actual "witty" tweet is on another thread I started last night. Can these please be merged? Ta. Iris.

Sorry Iris , I thought this was today's Sun x

This needs to be passed around as many ppl as possible. No apologies necessary Panda! xx

I liked the tweet suggesting the Sun had been friends of the McCanns all week , then drop this bombshell.

"The Sun newspaper has sparked outrage after making a joke about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in relation to an X Factor contestant. The paper tweeted on Saturday night that Tamera Foster, who has been in the headlines recently over a shoplifting scandal, had not hindered her chances of winning the show, and would only suffer if she admitted to "stealing Maddie".


In other words kitti, the shoplifting scandal wouldn't have affected her chance of winning , but if she admitted stealing maddie no one would vote for her...get it now?  A bit crass I agree.
