Croydon, Assange and Barnbrook: A few of London’s recent press complaints rulings

The Press Complaints Commission handily publishes its rulings in one handy place. Flicking through the rulings I noted a few London based complaints that people might be interested in. The rulings aren’t always earth shattering, resulting in a correction or slight apology but interesting none the less;

• Ex-BNP Assembly Member Richard Barnbrook was concerned about the Evening Standards corruption story. Ruling.
• Are the Met Police a bunch of fatties? Ruling.
• Croydon Council were worried about ho the loca paper portrayed “the cuts”. Ruling.
• Croydon Council was also concerned about the Telegraph and “slippery berries”. Ruling.
• International hide and seek artist Julian Assange has ben taking on the Independent and the Mail on how many rapes he’s accused of. Ruling one and ruling two.
