Sun Deftly Shoehorns Limerick into Headline

24/04/2008
The Scottish Sun sub-editors displayed all their talents in the tabloid’s coverage yesterday of the Aberdeen father-of-two who conned nearly £80,000 in benefits - by claiming for 34 bogus kids.

Jobless, Irvin Fraser was able to pocket the child tax payouts over nearly three years from two addresses - because he was never asked for birth certificates.

The Scottish Sun splendidly headlined a full-page splash: ‘There was a young man, Who lived on the buroo, He had so many children ...But 34 weren’t true’.
