What is the Evening Herald's obsession with 'Fat Freddie'?

At least once a week he's the lead story on the front page. We haven't had one this week yet so I'm sure they'll try and link some story to him by the end of the week.

Evening Herald appeals to the uneducated among the working class. They love these type of headlines.

Crime/Sex/Scandal sells newspapers, blame the people who pay for this tripe, the papers are only giving them what they want.

Lets not mention ghost writing, we might wake up the fella with the Triumph 20
