Completely untrue and wholly without foundation

By 6000 | 6000 | January 14, 2010

Not much good news in the cricket for England this morning, but I note that The Times is up to its usual tricks again: Apology to Kevin Pietersen THE Times would like to make a full apology to Kevin Pietersen for printing an article headlined “KP’s beer-flinging fury” on 6 January 2010.
