Dunblane controversy

Lambie's Scottish Sunday Express ran a story criticising the behaviour of the survivors of the Dunblane massacre.[2]

Following complaints made to the PCC about the Express' abuse of privacy and an online campaign, Lambie printed an apology.[3]

However the PCC said "the breach of the code was so serious that no apology could remedy it."[4]
