UPDATE 06/12/11: THE INDEPENDENT HAVE NOW AMMENDED THEIR ARTICLE FOLLOWING A PCC COMPLAINT (THEY STILL FAIL TO REFERENCE THE FACT THAT THE DRUG IN QUESTION IS ALMOST CERTAINLY “VALIUM”.)

UPDATE 05/12/11: THE METRO HAVE NOW REMOVED THEIR ARTICLE FOLLOWING A PCC COMPLAINT. 

UPDATE 24/11/11: THIS PIECE HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED BY THE HULL DAILY MAIL AFTER A COMPLAINT TO THE PRESS COMPLAINTS COMMISSION BUT IT HAS REAPPEARED IN STORIES BY THE METRO AND THE INDEPENDENT.
