I submitted evidence to the Leveson inquiry about the way the media had treated me as I felt the inquiry was only focussing on national media and ignoring the damage done by local and regional press to people's lives. Surprisingly, Leveson did not call me to testify (no celebrity value, perhaps, though I would have been too scared to make myself public anyway.)


I've just checked the Leveson report list of those who had made submissions and discovered that I am not on it. ( Report’s p.1839 https://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/hc1213/hc07/0780/0780_iv.pdf)


No doubt there are others whose submissions were ignored even though they made valid points but hadn't sent a text to Rebecca wade or the PM. Does show you how selective, narrow and centralised this inquiry was and how pointless it is for us mere plebs to make comments to the Establishment.


Nothing's changed as a result anyway so what was the point of it. Cameron said it would be implemented unless it was 'bonkers'. It's obviously not bonkers even though it was too national and celebrity centric, but it just shows you the control the media still have over politicians
