Anders Breivik, Norwegian terrorist and mass murderer, appeared in court with the letter Z shaved on his head and a message of support for Russia on a poster. Nazis support Putin, for obvious reasons.

LD council leader makes big donations to 2 LD parly candidates, who then both give her p/t jobs after election. One of the MPs denies this after #PrivateEye appears. Turns out job offer withdrawn only after the mag went on sale! More in #RottenBoroughs in new #PrivateEye.
