What exactly are you expecting the press to publish?? If you are talking about abuse allegations, they have libel readers, and are alive to the fact that if they make false allegations against a specific person, or allow a vulnerable victim to be identified without their consent, then they'll be sued big time. Thats why you'll see stories about specific alleged abusers who are now dead - they can't sue and will never face prosecution. Why do you think that Syvret has refrained from publishing the contents himself?
Given the earlier furore about Walker's private comment being made public, Shenton should have known better.
