In 1978, the People’s Press Printing Society, the co-operative that owns the Morning Star, sought an injunction against the Daily Express to stop them from using the title “Daily Star.” The judge, Mr Justice Foster, wasn’t sympathetic and stated: “If one puts the two papers side by side I for myself would find that the two papers are so different in every way that only a moron in a hurry would be misled.”
