... a Daily Mail outrage piece and chance for a war?
Why is it that the Daily Mail is always the default vehicle of condemnation whenever someone wishes to pour scorn on a statement or allegation that, as often as not (no idea about this case though), it has said nothing of?
A word to the wise, others have used the same tactics throughout history to scapegoat others and so draw attention away from their own actions or failings. Not to be emulated IMHO. Condemn them for what they say (often no doubt well deserved), not as the whipping boy for what others have said.
