The article, headlined "Farm Inspector sacked after anti-cull tweets", reported that a government farm inspector had lost her job following a complaint from the National Farmers' Union over critical comments she had tweeted about the badger cull. The complainant argued that because his name did not appear on his Twitter profile, his identification by the newspaper intruded into his private life in breach of Clause 3 (Privacy) of the Editors' Code of Practice.
