Conservative Treehouse does make a couple of interesting points in their story:
“Beyond the story itself there’s a few presenting elements which point to a high degree of confidence, and as a consequence ‘legal avoidance’, on the publishers’ part.
Firstly, they post pictures of the collective mistresses. NE would never legally “go there” if they did not hold a very reasonable certainty the outlined players were factually part of the story.
Secondly, there’s at least one face in the group that is easily identifiable.”
Interesting.
Shhhh!!! Reveal any more and I'll have you pull KP duty.
