in the early 1990s the newspaper printed a column attacking the city of liverpool and its inhabitants which was accompanied by a photograph showing a large rubbish tip directly behind the city's iconic liver building. in reality, no such rubbish tip existed anywhere in the vicinity of the liver building; it subsequently emerged that the photograph was a fake created from a composite of images of the buildings and a rubbish tip that was not in liverpool, although the photograph's caption implied that the image illustrated the supposed poor upkeep of the city. despite these revelations, the newspaper did not inform its readers of its deception or print any correction.
