That's win for small values of win, I presume

Rumbold at Pickled Politics tells us that Gurmeal Singh wins turban case. News outlets such as the Manchester Evening News adopt a similarly triumphal tone.

But as Rumbold is honest enough to add, Gurmeal won only 2 out of the 15 grievances listed, hardly a famous victory then.

To paraphrase the inimitable Frank Carson, it must be in the way you tell 'em.

And what's this from the MEN piece?
Julia Rogers, assistant chief officer for GMP said: ...

"We welcome the introduction of the newly formed British Police Sikh Association and will be looking to work closely with them via ACPO, in an effort to resolve any ongoing issues."
Here we go again.
