THE MCCANN-HOUNDERS DON'T WANT YOU TO READ THIS POST BY STEPHEN BIRCH

Who could forget the raptures with which Stephen Birch was welcomed on the site Bennett isn't admin of? They thrilled to those special reports in the Portuguese tabloids, convinced themselves that that tide was finally going to turn for them.
