The Super Soaraway Sun has had to eat humble pie when it found out that a story about the (freelance) reporter where he claimed to have travelled from Turkey to Paris evading passport checks was actually... incorrect.
The freelancer forgot to add the bit where he had his passport checked in Zagreb, but what the heck, let's put it over a 2 page spread anyway. They are now 'changing how they deal with freelancers'.
Of course, no full time Sun reporter would do such a thing would they?
Another heavy shower, another burst river bank, another reason to blame someone somewhere. The environment secretary has taken the unusual step of stating the obvious - 'when it rains, you get wet, don't blame me'. I paraphrase slightly, but you get the drift. I do have some sympathy with her, but than again I also do with the affected house owners. What the solution is I don't know, but I get an impression we are not going to build however high they have to be walls around rivers, and we are not going to make people move out of houses, or even get people t voluntarily give their houses up so we can expect more good intentioned politicians saying 'the right thing' and residents lambasting them for doing nothing.
