It’s good to see the national press appear to be taking my advice and publishing articles directly from Private Eye.
This article has so many similarities with the words in the PE article (in the current edition) – I wonder whether they will sue for plagiarism; although at least the DM did not claim they had assisted this poor fellow in any way to get justice.
PE has been covering this for some time; Geoff Monks said ‘I want to publically thank Private Eye for following this story over the years. My admiration, debt and gratitude to the magazine is only equalled by my comfort that such an organ exists in our society. What a treasure the Eye is.’
