Surely with the Telegraph we should aim to spot when they get it right, not when they get it wrong (which is now the norm). Some of you will be aware that there was a serious attack on a police constable last friday involving four delinquents, the youngest of whom - just 13 years old - hit the PC several times with a hammer. According to the Telegraph, this was all supposed to have occured in Clayton and was reported as thus.

It must have been a pretty nasty day all round for Lancashire's finest, because at exactly the same time as the the incident in Clayton, a PC in Church was also getting hit over the head with a hammer by a 13 year-old, accompanied by 3 mates. The eldest has been named in the Telegraph and his address as been published as in Accrington; It now gets stranger, because a person with the same name, living on a street with the same name, has been arrested and charged with the Church attack. Except this individual resides in Church.

Maybe this is a job for the X-files organisation.
