Journalists face new rules on share tipping 

     Journalists tipping shares they own will have to warn
     readers or viewers about their interest under legislation
     proposed by the Government last night. 

     The rules have been drawn up in the wake of The
     Mirror scandal which led to the dismissal of the two
     writers of the paper's popular "City Slickers" column,
     James Hipwell and Anil Bhoyrul, who were found to
     have owned the shares they recommended. 

     The editor of The Mirror, Piers Morgan, was found to
     have bought shares in Vilgen Technologies a day before
     they were tipped in his newspaper but an internal inquiry
     cleared him of any wrongdoing.

"Perceptions" note: would _you_ have cleared him ?

Well, you're not an English judge, with lots of corrupt

rich (& worse) friends to protect.
