Temple told the Mail on Sunday
So the source is Der Volkischer Beobachter am Sontag? I refer my right honourable colleague to my previous statement. In a previous life I remember people getting a bollocking for using tainted sources in their reports without health warnings
I think in journo terms it's a 'spoiler' - The Observer didn't get the exclusive so they get up early, buy a copy of 'Der Sturmer' and then pinch the story under the guise of reporting the report, thus saving £200,000 and looking 'cutting edge' - and if it all turns out to be bollocks they can deny everything 'cos they were only quoting
p.s. Jacko, if you're reading I'll let you have the Hilary W story for £20....
