More on British Journalism

Last Sunday I wrote about the ways in which British journalism differs from ours. Basically, you'll remember I said that theirs is a mix of excellent work and paparazzi-style stalking of persons of interest.

Much of the stalking has been done by shady private investigators and their pals in the police. Frankly, I'm disappointed. As an Anglophile I'd always thought their coppers were clean. Apparently the bobbies fall short of spotless, see this Reuters report on Yahoo News.
