Geoffrey Pinnington
Geoffrey Pinnington (21 March 1919 – 24 December 1995) was a British newspaper editor. Pinnington grew up in London, studying at Harrow County School for Boys and the University of London before joining the Royal Air Force in 1940, becoming a Squadron Leader by the end of the war. After the war, he became a reporter on the ''Middlesex Independent'', then editor of the '' Kensington Post''. He then joined the '' Daily Herald'' and became deputy editor in 1958, but when he temporarily took charge, he appeared to advocate unilateral disarmament, a policy opposed by the Trades Union Congress who then had a large stake in the paper. Feeling that his ambitions would not be fulfilled at the ''Herald'', he moved to the ''Daily Mirror'' in 1961, working as first night editor, then assistant editor. In 1972, he became editor of ''The People''.Terence Lancaster,Obituary: Geoffrey Pinnington, ''The Independent ''The Independent'' is a British online newspaper. It was establis ...

British People
British people or Britons, also known colloquially as Brits, are the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the British Overseas Territories, and the Crown dependencies.: British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals.

It also refers to citizens of the former British Empire, who settled in the country prior to 1973, and hold neither UK citizenship nor nationality.

Press Council (newspaper Regulator)
The Press Council was a British voluntary press organisation founded under threat of statutory regulation as the General Council in 1953, with a non-binding regulatory framework. Through most of its history the council was funded by newspaper proprietors, with the stated aim of maintaining high standards of ethics in journalism. The General Council was reformed as the Press Council in 1962, with 20 per cent lay members. In 1980 the National Union of Journalists withdrew from membership. In 1991, the Press Council was replaced by the Press Complaints Commission. First era: 1947–1962 The first Royal Commission on the Press recommended in 1949 that a General Council of the Press should be formed to govern the behaviour of the print media.

''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a v ...
