Absent Enforcement

In spite of appearances, it seems that the further reaches of scumbag press hysteria can occasionally have consequences. A professional thundergusset gave vent to some particularly fragrant eructations about the Duchess of Sussex in the Murdoch Sun, provoking twelve thousand complaints and the removal of the piece from the scumbag tabloid's website; in light of which the chair of the country's main press regulator has decided to forego a cosy dinner date with the tabloid's owner. Baron Faulks, one of whose middle names is Lawless, was meant to be toddling over to Rupert's in order to strengthen yet further the present healthy relationship between the Independent Press Standards Organisation and the Supreme Leader. As a result of the volume of complaints against a certified non-Muslim, Faulks decided that on this occasion his six-figure salary might be better earned elsewhere; which was certainly jolly rigorous of him.
