Hmm - maybe not, turns out these were unguarded comments made on that white-hot centre of deep investigative journalism, Desert Island Discs in 2009; hardly a smoking gun, but may well be spun as such.You betcha, Red Rider!

The Mirror group's greatest scandal was (and probably always will be) the pension fund raid.
Oh, but wait a minute - that's what governments have been doing to public service pensions for years and now complain there isn't enough money to pay...

"Yes" to the first part, and "Did you really expect anything else?" to the second part.
Or to put it another way, "Do ursine creatures defecate in sylvan areas?"
