this is an unusual use of the word "Now" though - usually it's "NOW [women are allowed out of the kitchen]", the "now" is all about how we're going to hell in a handcart and hatred of modernity. this one is more...relief tinged with sarcasm? "finally we can eat salt again"? god it'd such a batshit headline even on the slowest news day.

If only salt wasn't so salty, I'd get salted off my nut right now that the DE's given the OK.

BRITISH NEWSPAPERS FORCED TO REMOVE FREE SUGAR OFFERS
― James Mitchell, Thursday, 14 July 2011 07:36 (fourteen years ago)
This is presumably the same as the made up story about town halls being fined for not flying the EU flag? It must get very depressing for which ever Fatcat Brussels Bureaucrat has to rebut these stories esp. as they must know their work will never end and will be completely ignored. At least he's probably being paid £5m a week and living in a gold house for his trouble.

5m and I bet he is still taking our free sugar.

First line of the article...
BRITISH sports stars could be forced to wear the EU flag on their kit in the latest bid by Brussels to impose its symbols on the UK...
...so no one actualy being forced, at this moment, to do anything. Thank fuck we've got a free press.

"I am utterly and abjectly pissed-off with this little lot. I've given the best years of my life to the job. I've got eighteen bloody commendations, if you include the one I didn't get yesterday. And how does this 'wonderful' police force show its gratitude for all my years of unstinting effort? It bangs me up in a crummy little cell like some cheap little villain - all because a toerag called Hutchinson's got a few bottles twitching on the Fifth Floor. Now, because that poor little bastard had the guts to get off his arse, I'm going to have to be reinstated. And what do you bunch of bleeding double-dyed hypocrites want now? You want me to crawl back to work and be terribly grateful that I didn't get nicked for something I didn't do. Well you can stuff it! I need a drink, Lewis."

NOW YOUR OFFICIAL EDL NEWSPAPER BRINGS THE CRUSADE HOME
― James Mitchell, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 04:41 (fourteen years ago)
Not desperate to give the Express credit for anything but they're the only paper putting something less than frightening on the front page. Given that people were going wild for the riotcleanup stuff yesterday I don't think the Express should be condemned for that as well.
― Upt0eleven, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 09:44 (fourteen years ago)
It's not often they put actual photos of threatening stuff on their front pages though despite their looney reputation - plenty of evidence upthread. Today's Express follows the template of OUTRAGED HEADLINE and photo of a fruity girl down to a tee.

If you were caught looting a tub of Flora Light from a Budgens, could you take a copy of the Express to court and get let off? I think we should be told.
― James Mitchell, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 21:24 (fourteen years ago)
I love how they have "mother drags" and the photo caption where it's actually his aunt who's doing the dragging on the same page. Guess you can't expect too much accuracy from something written by only three people.
Kinda miss the random capitalized words other papers do, too. (the ARROGANT, SLOUCHED, MOBILE, STEALING, SMASHED, YEAH, BURST, TEARS)

He’s seen off Imperial fleets and fought paw-to-hand with some of the most fearsome troops in a galaxy far, far away, now Peter Mayhew – aka Star Wars’ “walking carpet” Chewbacca – has some ideas about how to deal with the UK’s looters.Should chaos return to Britain’s streets, call in a Wookiee, Barnes-born Peter tells Day & Night ahead of next month’s Blu-ray launch of Star Wars: The Complete Saga. “I think he’d grab a couple of Stormtroopers and sort it out,” the 67-year-old laughs.
