Respond to lies in the media & support Mermaids

I'll finesse this entry later but this is what you need to write a letter of complaint to the press commission. 

This is the TMW press release pointing out the facts that lie behind the lies being told by the media.  

Text copy version here - if the link doesn't work please let me know via @laughingnoam on Twitter or a comment here.





 This explains how to make a complaint at IPSCO - you need to do it within 4 months of the article appearing. That gives you a fair amount of time to make sure you write a good letter, in your words if possible, and make sure you get everything right - unlike the Daily Mail did.

Here's some words you might like to use - or, better, in your won words but using these points.

I would also suggest that 1. of the editors code - accuracy - would also be grounds for complaining.

If the text below is not clear then please click on it to make it bigger and more readable.  Hoping I can put a cut and pasteable version up here later.


Please also write to your mp - or email - and use the referenced facts in the TMW press release above to make sure your mp is armed with actual facts and not tabloid lies.
