You may have to be a bit broader or supply a link for those of us that don't take the Sun.:confused

What's wrong with that artical? Looks fine to me, and anything that encourages people to have a look, maybe come for a visit, is good in my book.

Aye, they're only about a year-and-a-half late. Nowt to do with me, though, golach. Perhaps Valerie's the motive here; to sell more books, perhaps? You there, Val?

It is really about the Hungarian photographer Halasz who won the Google Prize for his Photo of the camp, not the book. Besides, everyone knows The Sun makes up stuff if they want a sensationalist story. I have spoken to Valerie and she is furious that they put it was the Guantanamo Bay of its day. She was asked about that comparison and says she flatly denied it.

Sun does what Sun wants, unfortunately. Just ask those from Liverpool.

I did happen across this article when i was on my lunch break and couldnt believe they said Watten had a 'run down council estate'!!!
Guess the reporter has never seen a run down estate before? Maybe we should send a picture for them to compare!:lol:;)
