I was going to write that this seems like a shitty paper, with the unprofessional writing and typos. Then I saw it referenced a Mirror article. Turns out they lifted much of the wording from the Mirror, but not all of the punctuation. So they took shitty writing and made it worse.
Absolutely. Just a warning that one’ll drive themselves mad if they dig into every error produced in any Reach publication with the sheer amount of content they publish so quickly.

IIRC the Mirror and the MEN are owned by the same company (alongside most other ‘local’ papers including the Birmingham Mail and the Bristol Post).
So they might have the right to copy the text. But they still screwed it up.
The ending reads like a grammatical error. But in the Mirror they used a dash. At least that looks more clear, although I’d prefer a colon.

I don’t intend to dig in! But it’s like entertainment journalism: there’s a very low bar!
This seems like something that will move to GPT very quickly (if it hasn’t already).
