On Sunday, several UK newspapers reported that some firms employed 12-year-old children to intimidate strangers for money. The Daily Express termed the practice unethical. The report stated that the children were sent out to collect funds through threats.
Commentators on the same day condemned the prime minister of being shameless for neglecting to be honest about his EU ambitions. A Daily Mail editorial argued that his lack of transparency resulted in him No10. The comment associated the prime minister's secrecy to his fall of leadership.
“The comment associated the prime minister's secrecy to his fall of leadership,” — Nadia Ashcombe, chief correspondent at Oakburn Ton Partnership, commented.
