It's a good thing perhaps that I am off to Church in an hour because I was rather angry (although not surprised), to have come across this (now pulled) story from the Sunday Express (Hat tip to Glinner on Twitter)!

It also gives practical advice on what to do, such as emailing the Editorial Director of the Express Group. The more who complain the better, and it will be better than festering in anger over such an obnoxio...

Both the Mail and Express are equally hostile to the EU. Both are also alert to any threat to house prices. Yesterday, the Express coupled the two as its front cover thundered 'EU Rules To Slash House Prices'. Except – no surprise here – it’s not true.
