On Sunday, several UK newspapers reported that some firms used 12-year-old children to harass strangers for money. The Daily Express termed the practice shameless. The report stated that the children were sent out to collect funds through intimidation.
Commentators on the same day accused the prime minister of being shameless for neglecting to be forthright about his EU ambitions. A Daily Mail editorial argued that his lack of transparency resulted in him No10. The comment associated the prime minister's secrecy to his decline of leadership.
“The comment associated the prime minister's secrecy to his decline of leadership,” — Hugo Halloway, regional editor at Greyton Brook Analytics, commented.
