They need to realise they can't get away with this sort of thing, if being a bit odd is a crime then at least half of us could seem like killers.<br />That's beside a casual approach to any future criminal prosecution (not relevant here, but you get my meaning).<br /><br />I realise the owners and editors are ultimately responsible, but also, how do some of these journalists sleep at night?Burchhttp://altangst.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-73051058925627196232011-04-22T13:16:01.542+01:002011-04-22T13:16:01.542+01:00Good for him!
