Just when you might think that its safe to by the papers again, Today, The Daily Telegrah decided to give the dispersal order story one more outing. I am not hoping to post a link to this as I dont want to give this load of old nonesense any more pubkicity then it deserves, but one featore of The Telegraph story is noteworthy.
Rather then sending a photographer down, or even reprinting the, by now well known picture of The Square, The Telegraph decided to illustrate their story with a photograph of a bunch of kids sitting on a wall somewhere, certainly not Silverton, wearing trainers certainly a bit too 'urban' for these parts. The Telegraph has a reputation for being a serious newspaper but its a reputation that is certainly not going to be enhanced by publishing this particular load of reheated old mince accompanied by a photo with no connection at all to the story or its contents.
Lazy journalism at its worst.
