Sunday World 'journalist' Hugh Jordan's 'exclusive' about convicted 'Tiger' kidnapper Paddy Watson. In it he boasts of having "gone behind bars" to get the story. Leaving aside whether Jordan belongs behind bars with Watson THIS DID NOT TAKE PLACE (as HMP Maghaberry's visitor logs will show). Watson has never met or even spoken to Jordan. It was done on the phone with Watson's wife (who was paid £500 contrary to the assertion in the story that no money changed hands). If the US Treasury and State departments do not have the wherewithal to prosecute Jordan for counterfeiting the mighty Greenback, surely UTV, the Advertising Standards Commission, Press Complaints Commission or Oftel should investigate this outrageous and cynical misrepresentation.
