A lesson in contemporary morals

Private Eye's "Street of Shame" has a truly wonderful item about a Sunday Mirror interview with someone called Kerry Katona and husband Mark Croft (from context I infer that they are "celebrities" of some kind). Croft is angry about a story his mother sold to a rival tabloid: "I won't speak to her anymore and she won't see her grandkids again if she can sell me out for 10 grand. What's 10 fucking grand?". The interviewer points out that his mother-in-law has also sold a story to the tabloids. "That was for 70 grand though", he muses, "It's not nice, but mine did it for 10 grand".
