With the tabloids having already filled their boots with the Tory-inspired map myth this week, Telegraph writer David Rennie has uncovered another scurrilous attempt by the tabloids to simply invent a load of nonsense about the EU.

You can read the full story here but to summise, an unamed British tabloid sent three hacks to Bulgaria to try and find a prostitute who would be willing to travel with them to the UK when the country joins the EU. They are also alleged to have spent some time looking for people capable of forging passports.

Now their cover has been blown this story shouldn’t see the light of day but it is another example of just how low some of the British press will sink to discredit the EU.
