Shame on the Daily Mail!
That so called "news" article (Headline reprinted below) is not a news
story, it is a thinly disguised editorial. It promotes (rather then
reports on) the idea that the UK government has no reason to prosecute
shop keepers for violating UK law. The mis-information in the article
could persuade their readers that they are right when they are not.
They compound their bias by giving information at the end of the
article telling their readers how to donate money to the shop keeper
who violated the law. That ain't news!
