The Sun Sinks Lower
Those beneficent guys at News International have responded to the “Credit Crunch” (what hack was responsible for this beastly weasel?) in more ways than one.
Two weeks ago, Colin Myler, cuddly Lancastrian editor of the News of the Screws explained to a judge in the High Court that the reason they had chiselled their informant (Woman E) out of half her money for filming Max Mosley’s S&M session wasn’t that she failed to deliver any ‘Zieg Heil’ salutes, but as a result of the Credit Crunch.

Rachel Whitear and her story should be laid to rest.
Rachel Whitear was 21 when she died tragically of a heroin overdose in May, 2000 in a flat in Exmouth.
Last week, the Independent Police Complaints Commission published a report, airing yet again the circumstances surrounding her death. A complaint had been lodged by Rachel’s mother and stepfather, who are unconvinced that a clear verdict has been reached.
At a press conference in Exeter, the couple said Devon and Cornwall Police had not followed their force policy guidelines that death that might be attributable to drugs should be treated as suspicious until proven otherwise. They have raised many objections to police investigations, even successfully applying to have Rachels’ body exhumed 4 years after her death, though this provided no new answers.
