The story the British tabloids won't touch

As Ailsa suggests, there is sufficient material within the thread to piece the whole thing together. And if the tabloids won't touch it, maybe we shouldn't either.

I'm not sure I see a sufficient reason to delete the thread, actually...any other mod have a take on this, pro or con?

Sean, I'm not a mod as you know, but I did call for the thread deletion - I've posted this to the thread as my reason - you might want to see if it gets a response.

From the FAQ:
If we think a thread might be libellous it might be deleted. This hasn't happened very often.

I think intruding on an innocent person's right to privacy in respect of a matter which appears to have been deliberately kept out of the public eye (whether that's to protect them, or because there's nothing to tell, is neither here nor there) is wrong. It might not legally be defined as libellous (I'm no expert), but it's still a gross invasion of privacy.
