Brilliant example, the frightening thing is that people don't even seem to realise! While the tabloid media comes across as being "by the people, for the people" they still expertly manage to keep their distance from real-life.

I certainly wouldn't put it past them
Reading this thread IMO i find the comments that ITV have set this up as a publicity stunt unbelievable. 
What happened on the moors 40 odd years ago everyone agrees was sickening.
Why on earth would ITV want to use that for publicity is beyond me, because if so, it would not be good publicity for them, but bad, so why :confused
The only possible explanation for this is The Sun putting 2+2 together and making 5. The most maddening thing for me is them raking it up all again for the poor mother with their non existent conspirasy theories.
Sorry, rant over.
