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.

hey daily express how about a story on how Scottish notes are 'banned'* in England. You know, that part of Britain none of you have ever visited.
Not actually banned but a lot of shops don't accept them.

The other papers can't give a shit since they're not owned by Richard Desmond (like Channel 5 is), the Daily Express and Star have to push BB since they are.

“Britain is set for a real battering,” he said. “It is looking like a sliding scale of misery with torrential rain and violent storms, some of which could be near hurricane force.” According to Mr Powell a front of warm air from the Continent is set to meet cold air, which will bring the risk of tornadoes.“They can strike anywhere in the UK, although it is the Midlands down towards the South, the so-called ‘tornado alley’, which is most at risk,” he said. “There may also be the chance of seeing water spouts whipped up by tornadoes.
