Oh for the days when the Observer wasn't in tabloid form, and didn't stoop to tabloid tactics to sell copies, but relied on good journalism and real stories.

Responsibility and Accountability rests with the reporter, it’s his job to ensure that the Facts are reported, never the less, the three of them should have thought this one through a little more. Furthermore I’d like to know what a Councillor was doing trawling through Adult web sites in the first place, has he never heard of the Lib Dems?
