The Sun newspaper has apologised to children’s charity Barnardo’s and donated £
5,000 to them plus legal costs for controversial criticisms by columnist Richard
Littlejohn. “Next time you’re tempted to give money to Barnardo’s, stop and think
about how it is being spent,” wrote the columnist at Christmas in relation to the
charity’s education pack dealing with children abused through prostitution.
