100% agree. Just horrible behaviour, really, and the fact they tried to peddle the "we've all done it" notion later on really pissed me off.
As to the rest of the case, I've no idea - as has been said 1001 times already none of us do until we know what actual evidence there is. Nobody's coming out of this fiasco particularly well, though, and the version of events detailed in that newspaper cutting is frankly appalling.
