Mark Souster and the complete mystery of the DM's and the now deleted twitter account

Tony has posted this on CMoMM regarding the claim.


Asking Ben Thompson to withdraw his false allegation that I have forged some screenshots

Statement re Ben Thompson

Overnight, on Twitter, Ben Thompson has twice made a false allegation that I have forged some screenshots.

Just for the record, for all members and guests to see, I have not taken any screenshots in the first place, nor have I amended any, nor have I published any screenshots. Indeed I knew nothing at all about any such screenshots until he brought up the subject this morning.

I have politely asked him to withdraw his false claims.

Should also add, lets not forget that officers from the British CPS flew out for a meeting with the Portuguese Attorney General a couple of years ago.  That's pretty significant.  I doubt they were discussing the prosecution of Portuguese citizens.

Crown prosecution can only prosecute in this country,why was she out there? interfering?

Well obviously I don't know, she didn't give a press statement! They must have had something to discuss.

JATYK2 are justifying their persecution of Mark Souster stating that he is a roughy, toughy, rugby fan, not a girly writer dealing with silly wimmins ishoos. Where do they get these dinosaurs, lol?

It doesn't matter one iota how big and tough a guy may appear, he will still have all the fears and doubts that torment the rest of us, as any mother of a son would know! Actually, as any woman who has ever loved a man would know.

These people have no understanding whatsoever of human nature, they are either automatons or evil to the bleddy core.

Well it looks as if Mark Souster is a rat because Murdoch says so according to `Hunt `em down Harry`.

That is what it says here, Mimi.

I suppose if you spend your days sifting through garbage and vermin droppings, the word 'rat' would be uppermost in your mind.

Is that for real? What is going on?

A typo. But the more deranged will turn it from a molehill into a mountain. I despair sometimes.

Well I didn't/don't think that could be a typo so I Googled about it and I now think it is a nickname he has with the paper or even given himself?

From the 27th September. Before 'Soustergate'.

Scratch that I think it is missing a space and the venue. Mark Souster at Twickenham for example.

Mark Sousterat Twickenham


Surely there's a space missing and it should read Mark Souster at Twickenham.

I read it like that too, Freedom

I've transferred the posts about police jurisdiction to:

Maybe but this one doesn`t have the place name and is still `Sousterat`.

Yep, saw that - just aghast at how he always assumes the very worst, then even includes Jilly and Isabelle in his `rat` manipulation. Delete if problematical.

Could it be just a transfer of the incorrect name from one article to another?

I think there's more likely to be an innocent explanation (hi there Clarence!) than any deliberate silly name calling.

P.S. His Twitter account has gone again.

Why is there statements being made that Souster is friends with Brian Kennedy, he's interviewed him on numerous occasions but that doesn't make them mates. Or have I missed something?

Is there anyone in particular who is saying this? If so, I don't think that anyone will need to phone a friend for the answer.

Well said! I interviewed people when I worked on a student paper when I was at college. That doesn't make them friends, and I didn't like some of them! Fulltime journalists especially ones in a specialist area as Mark is, would tend to interview the same people. And obviously if they met people they often interview outside of a work situation they would at least exchange pleasantries. That is only good manners. bit it does not make the journalist and the interviewee 'mates.'

this is reminding me of the argument that a certain Irish family all lied to the police because they were 'friends' with a man whose name begins with M, when they were mere acquaintances as most people are in a small holiday place like PDL.

If they are so stupid that they will hurl abuse at a journalist I say let them do it. It'll all end in their own tears.

Hardly surprising the way @SousterRugby was developing, with rugby not the main subject under discussion

https://twitter.com/search?q=SousterRugby

the twitter account is back but he hasn't tweeted during the last 48 hours, not sure what's going on there.

I came here partly to see what you were all saying about the Mark Souster tweets. Jill's forum has concluded that he was a set-up but I'm still undecided on that. Looking at his latest up-to-date Twitter feed, he does seem to have a genuine interest in certain specific issues involving governments and the media, so it's possible that MMc is one of them. His interest may have been ignited by his meeting with Brian Kennedy back in the early days, when he asked BK the questions about Maddie that have been reproduced on both forums. So for me the jury is still out on this

That's how I feel.

It does seem unlikely that an MSM journalist would on his own "break cover" on such a controversial issue but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt at all times.

The doubt has long since gone as regards the McCanns though!

I agree with Freedom.  Why has it taken him 8 years to suddenly decide to focus on Madeleine's disappearance, and why now when GA's case is coming to a head.  It all seems a bit "iffy" to me.  It's a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
