The JSPrice Perception

Lord Justice Leveson has finally published a 2,000 page report which summed up his findings on the inquiry which the government launched last year to explore the ethics and journalistic standards newspapers and other forms of media incorporate on a daily basis. Leveson's inquiry intended to unravel the events which surrounded the phone hacking scandal which angered many people across Britain.

Where did it all go wrong for Romney?
