So it should be. And so should some on here who have swallowed every word they have said without bothering with a truth test.

I don't think anyone has 'swallowed every word', have they? People have pointed out (much to your amusement, if memory serves) that the timing of the story was 'convenient' to the Tories, and that the only substance to the first story was that a mother had gone to them with a complaint that the BBC had refused to recognise. I personally pointed out at least twice that there were few, if any, facts in their report, when others were speculating that the report was full of lies.

I think recollections may vary on this one.

Just remind me where I commented on anything about "the timing of the story was 'convenient' to the Tories", please Doodledog. I know you don't generally care but accusations require evidence not opinion.

Couldn’t agree more WW. This rag needs to go now.

What’s happened? I’ve been out walking in the pouring rain ( I was going to say walking the dog but then remembered that she stayed at home because of the weather..)

I would be happy for the Sun to fade into the sunset. Awful rag.

Well, it is saying that it will publish nothing more and cooperate with the bbc.

I can’t think what there is to cooperate with the bbc with!!

I think The Sun did try to come out fighting but with any luck this could finish them off.

Vile newspaper. If you can call it a newspaper.
