Silly season is in full swing here in the United Kingdom - the awkward time in summer when Parliament is in recess, leaving the newspapers with remarkably little real news to report.

In the absence of much action on the political front - and deprived of handy headline-spinners like the extensive floods of early summer - the papers turn instead to an assortment of ridiculous, unsubstantiated or downright made-up stories to keep sales high.

These can often be outright stupid, such as leading tabloid the Sun's thoroughly debunked attempt to convince readers that there was a great white shark stalking the sea off the British coast. They can also be more worrying; tabloids including the Sun and the Daily Mail have filled their pages with disingenuous stories claiming that Britain is in the grip of a crime wave and descending into anarchy and mob rule, despite statistics which demonstrate a steady drop in crime in the country in the last twelve years.
