Police cull half their crime prevention team
I'm a huge fan of local newspapers, and in my part of London I have a good half dozen or more weekly papers to choose from.  But they do not always present their news in the clearest and most sensible manner.  For example, check out the following from Ham & High (i.e. Hampstead and Highgate) March 20, 2008 exactly as it appeared in the paper:

I don't care how incompetent the donkey was at preventing crime, surely it doesn't deserve to be crucified!  And as usual for London it appears that a large mob has turned out for the public execution.


Of course this is actually just a classic example of silly layout, as you can see by the wider angle:

So if that's not the mob protesting the police lay-offs, why is there a cross on Palm Sunday?

What, didn't you see the hairline below the picture? DUH! Doesn't everyone understand the finesse of newspaper design? They told us that would make everything perfectly clear to the reader! How dare you insinuate that it doesn't!
