Notable Scoops
In 2006 The Sun published photographs of Prince Harry sporting a Nazi costume to a fancy dress party. The photographs caused outrage across the world and Clarence House was forced to issue a statement in response apologising for any offence or embarrassment caused.
In September 2012 The Sun's political editor Tom Newton-Dunn revealed that Andrew Mitchell called a Downing Street Policeman a "pleb". The Tory MP eventually admitted swearing at officers in the incident but denied calling The Police "plebs", but after a month of political pressure, Mitchell quit as chief whip and was replaced by Sir George Young. Mitchell maintains that he did not call the police "plebs" and is taking legal action.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or scoops:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Oh literature, oh the glorious Art, how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us, and chucks us aside. Alas!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
