Why do you make the link so small?

This isn't even news. OP, you aren't from UK so you are forgiven, but next time be careful - the daily mail is the shitstain on british news' suit. Pretty much any article can be categorised into an -ist word, in this case sensationalist. Please get a proper source, because this is literally just clickbait.
