whilst everything has to be taken with a pinch of salt newspapers have a responsibility to report the news and it will be based on fact with sources and "evidence" to back it up. Most news outlets, paper or tv, have a rule that they have to have two independent verifiable sources before they will report a story. The only one I know that only requires one source is Sky News.

being convicted of a criminal offence isn't evidence of wrong doing, it is judicial process of holding somebody to account for breaking the law and "evidence" such as that of what journalists collate to report the news is used to prove the prosecutions argument. Just because somebody hasn't been caught and prosecuted for a crime doesn't mean that they are not guilty of it or did not commit the crime. In contrast, we are all too well aware that in countries like North Korea, Russia and Iran people are convicted of crimes without any evidence at all so does the fact that they have been convicted because a judge said "you did it" mean that is sufficient "evidence" for you of a crime?
Btw, if I won the euromillions I would happily pay £135,000 for some quality one on one time with Bojo.
