I know Guiscard's already mentioned this, but, if you're looking for British news, I want to point out that the Daily Express is a really, really bad source to get British news from. Amongst many other things, it is owned by a somewhat-erratic pornographer (plus, clicking that link will show some of the dregs of the British media), and the paper has a bizarre obsession with Princess Diana, for some reason.
If you must read a right-wing site, you'd be (a bit) better off with the Times or Telegraph. For one thing, I can't find any reference to this story on either of these sites, which might give you an idea of the importance accorded to it by normal British conservatives.
