The perils of social media storms have been prominent this week.

At the inconsequential celeb end of the news, Coleen Rooney's implicating fellow Wag Rebekah Vardy in allegedly leaking of stories from Coleen's "private" Instagram made it onto this morning's BBC Today programme and most of the nationals.

As always, the quality media sneer at the tabloids... and then happily sink to their level when they want to. The moral of the story... even private social media aren't that private when you are in the eye of the media.

Today's reporting on the ongoing and unpleasant Carl Beech saga (the made up fantasies about a Westminster paedophile ring) revolves around the police statement at a now infamous press conference that Beech and his lies were "credible and true".

The problem for the police is that we now know what he said was not true and he was not very credible either.  The key question is at what point did the police realise he was not very credible either and why did they say his allegations were true... and why were they slow to correct this.
