Reactor 16, You ask a very valid, if somewhat naive, question.
This is the Daily Wail we are talking about and you have to remember that they care very little about letting any inconvenient truths getting in the way of a 'good story'. Which stories, completely co-incidentally of course, appeal most to the intellectually-challenged mindset of their academically-challenged readers.
Do NOT expect a retraction, let alone an apology.
As an aside, it was interesting to note that a certain gentleman felt the need to ask the courts for guaranteed protection and privacy against the press and public when he was purchasing a huge estate in Scotland.
Fortunately the judge denied Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, that right / cop-out
