It's enough to make you want to "almost" spin them a yarn just to see if they'll bite.

But then they would merely turn it around to make it read as if they were making your story public as an example of the dissaffection / mendacity / lack of moral fibre / etc in the services today. Would end up as a witch-hunt because the media is tranistory by definition - and is NEVER wrong! Anyway, they [and the vast majority of the UK public] will have forgotten the gist of the thrust of your tale-spin by the time tomorrow's edition comes out with their spin on your tale.

And with most of the tabloids, if your tale hasn't got big boobs in it nobody will notice.
