Why is "the Richard Desmond problem" causing so many headaches for those who wish to ensure that newspapers avoid statutory regulation?
That was the topic of my London Evening Standard column yesterday, What can be done about a problem called Richard?
I believe the publisher of Express Newspapers, plus OK! magazine, may well see the virtue of supporting self-regulation in a reformed system.
Indeed, if he were to change his mind, it may influence how matters turn out.
