If it runs in one paper on Monday then it runs in all of them on Tuesday. No need to check with the people concerned or anything, it was in the paper so it must be true!<br /><br />On Question Time last night Andrew Roberts (the 'historian' who famously wrote that Russian troops "marched East" across Europe) cheerily recounted the "Mylene Klass was cautioned by police for waving a knife at burglars" myth as evidence of all that was wrong with modern society, even though it had been comprehensively debunked a week earlier. And not a single person on the panel picked him up on it. Makes me very angry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
