I was perusing the BBC's "News Front Page" section, wherein they have a collection of photographs of the days front pages. I was most impressed with the offering from the Daily Mail today, as it would appear that the mail have found a way of making sense of the attacks on London. As most people know, the Daily Mail hate anyone who aren't Middle Aged and Conservative but have special bile reserved for:

  • students

  • teenagers

  • asylum seekers

  • people on benefits



Their headline today? Well its not "Tube Bomber Prepares to Strike" which the Telegraph offers up, nor is it the "Police name bomb suspects" from the Guardian or "The Vital Clue" offered up by the Independent. The screaming headline from the Mail, picked up also by The Sun of all papers is:

THE BOMBERS ON BENEFITS




So the big scandal about the London attacks in the Mail's eyes? It would appear that this the fact that the benefits agency didn't identify them as terrorists earlier and cut them off.

Wish I'd thought of that...
