I tried to see the story on their website. It's been replaced by this:
Wow, great journalistic integrity there, Daily Star. That's totally something I'd expect from atabloid news site.

It's astonishingly difficult for individuals to make UK tabloids retract stories, let alone get any damages out of them. Only celebrity-level people with enough money to force it through the courts on principle ever really get anywhere (as the Daily Mail has found out on multiple occasions.)Terramax said:
Of course, it's also very easy for powerful companies like BAE Systems to use the British justice system to slap silencing injunctions on newspapers who are planning to reveal well-researched wrongdoing. Funny that.
An added problem is that the body that people can complain to about stories like the Raoul Moat thing (the Press Complaints Commission) is entirely self-regulatory. The current chairman of the PCC is one Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail. Essentially, that means you have zero chance of having a complaint upheld - unless you make one about Bolsheviks or something.
If you want to keep an eye on the sort of vile stories British tabloids run about various marginalised members of society, this blog keeps good tabs on it: http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.com/ It gets kinda depressing though.
No, that would be The Sun - A newspaper which, if I recall, had a cover story about how "Emo" was a dangerous new cult. That being said, the Daily Star, the Daily Express (Princess Diana Times), The Mirror and the Daily Sport are all trash mags under the guise of news.soapyshooter said:
At least you guys have BBC, all our news is biased. The only thing that comes close to being near perfect news is NPR, National Public Radio.Kiefer13 said:

The Daily Star is the most filth-ridden, crap-infested shit-rag that Britain can offer - and we can offer loads. It saddens that these so called 'journalists' are paid money to trawl the most depraved pits of the internet to copy and paste rubbish under the pretences of 'news'.
You're thinking of the Daily Mail.Chech said:
