Like Dr Jekyll falling behind his lab table ready to rise as Mr Hyde,
you can almost smell The Sun Sunday turning back into The News Of The
World.
Early editions of The
SOS were much criticised for being bland and unsensational, but now
it's getting back to its bad old ways.
Today's
cover story has got it all; Tenuous links to the Royal Family!
Squaddies! Bizarre sexual practices! Anti-gay innuendo!
'A YOUNG
squaddie at Prince Harry's Army base was the victim of a shocking gay
sex attack, it was claimed last night. 'A drunken gang of three soldiers
allegedly pinned him down as he slept at Wattisham, Suffolk...'
I
bet this caused a collective "Phwoar!' in the newsroom.
The Sun
seem unaware - or perhaps just don't care - that nobody catagorises "male rape" as "gay",
anymore.
The item also includes phrases like "Sex at attack
Harry's base" or "a military probe is under way", which don't seem
unfortunate, just extremely childish.
Welcome back (school) boys.
