How long was Sarah at the Sunday Telegraph
Eight months? Nine months?
Somewhere in-between. A
Guardian Article helpfully explains that "she found out her fate this morning, her tenure at the Sunday Telegraph lasting just eight months and 20 days". So that's definitive!
Indeed yes - yawn. I propose deleting this non-significant "controversy" a week from today, pending the views of others. At the very least, it needs a re-write to explain why anyone using Wikipedia should give a stuff what a UK columnist thinks about teenagers.

Despite my original contention that this wasn't really a controversy at all, Sands herself appears to see it differently. In an article in the
Times Educational Supplement on 10 Nov 2006 (p 33) she states that her article had led to a complaint being made to the Press Complaints Commission, and that it had prompted a considerable backlash. Thus, while I still regard all this as a load of tedious tosh, I suppose it ought to remain part of this entry.

Is the controversy over the emo article really the most famous thing Sands is renowned for? She is both an ardent supporter of better treatment for the armed forces and also got a scoop from Richard Dannatt, head of the armed forces. —Preceding
