The Gutter Press

"You cannot hope to bribe or twist, Thank God! the British journalist But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to” Humbert Wolfe


The MoD had an embargo on the releasing of the details of the death of Lt Col Thorneloe and of Trooper Joshua Hammond until 22:00 yesterday at the request of the family.

Guess what? The Sun broke the embargo - and other news organisations followed. (The BBC at least kept the embargo)

I hope that relatives of the dead men didn't hear of their deaths through the media.

Now you know why they are called the "Gutter Press"
