No proof of the *actual events* depicted in the (now apparently fake) photos taking place.
But, there have still been plenty of allegations about abuse by UK troops, which are being investigated by the RMP etc. And the Red Cross report also mentioned abuses by UK troops. And the government & military have admitted to some abuses (e.g. the hoods & some other things).
Although, if still occurring, it would appear to be much less widespread & less ongoing & less extreme than the US abuses (at least based solely on the comparison between the sheer volume of info there is about the US abuses compared to the much smaller amount of info etc about any UK abuses...not great reasoning, but you get my meaning...if there was more you could think there would be more reports, like with the US abuse)
And as theblueraja said, the damage is irreversible now - regardless of whether the Mirror does issue any kind of apology
