The Observer reports on the latest furore over the recently-released Royal Navy personnel, who have been given permission to sell their stories:

“Faye Turney, the 26-year-old seawoman, is likely to get the most profitable deal. She is said to have sold her story for £150,000 in a joint contract with a newspaper and ITV … There were reports that the Royal Marines were planning to sell the vases given to them in their ‘goody bags’ by the Iranians on eBay.”
