Your son and some of his colleagues might have the right level of integrity,
Andrew, but their proprietor and his entourage seem to lack it. And I heard
Mathew Parris (ex-MP, now Times columnist) on the Question Time a couple of
weeks ago defending the whole setup, as if illegal stuff was OK because it had
been going on for a long time.
It's all a bit difficult, I know. The Times is a venerable organ supported as
a loss-making venture by a megalomaniac and crooked right-winger. On the few
occasions that I have seen Fox TV I have wanted to exile the bloke, never mind
the rubbish that his tabloids churned out.
