It may be. I think people were jumping the gun in assuming there would be a statement based on what the issue is. I have spoken to enough people to believe there is something in it.
Frankly, the local news needs to be a lot more proactive in unearthing these things here, but maybe we’re too low down now for them to care. That said, there are rumours of injunctions against the BBC and/or The Athletic, so this might not be possible (if true)!
