My Dad always used to point out that it was the only paper that campaigned for Stephen Lawrence to bring to light institutional racism in the Met Police.

Not a minor issue by any means, absurdly here's a link to the Guardian write up on it.

It did that because a relative of Lawrence knew Dacre (the editor) having been employed as a tradesman by him.

Given the near-racist tone of some of their other coverage of black crime in London, I put this one in the "oh I don't mean you, I know you, you're fine, it's all the other ones I have a problem with" corner.

Broken clock correct sometimes. News at 11.
