‘Forget the fake photos: Just use these’

78 words posted by Simon on 17 April 2005

Piers Morgan may have been sacked for printing some dodgy photographs in The Mirror, but it would seem that the problem hasn’t been solved just yet:

A Sunday Mirror article claimed to show Hoare “on the loose” on a UK seafront, but used pictures of the wrong man.

That’s a bit of an oopsie. I just wish the wrong guy had been someone like Tony Blair. Then this funny but distressing and distubing story would just become hilarious.
