Shona,
Sadly none of what happened surprises me in the slightest. Most of the low-life scum that inhabit the printed media in this country are too lazy/insensitive/stupid to check facts.
I extend my sympathies to you, and everyone else affected by this tragedy. This sort of furore was the last thing that you needed.
