The Metro headline-writers are having fun !

Police dog hungrily accepts invitation from gobby rioter who offered cops his bum

Nothing says quality like this:

But a brick launched from the rioters hits him straight in the back of head in the head by a flying brick.

Third sentence, excellent proof reading. It's still comedy that the idiot got hit by his own idiot's flying bricks, but surely it's someone's job to read this carp before it's published. Or is the major focus just working out how many adverts they can feature? And is it ok to use the word "arse" in the press now when not quoting someone?

It's just a sign of literacy standards slipping generally, and it's not the only bad writing in that report. BBC news articles are often riddled with errors.

I was particularly amused by the brick to the knackers. Those on his head and chest look accidental, but the third one, he's too far from the rozzers. Funniest clip this year though.

It’s never going to get old.

Seems like the right-wing press have finally realised that enough is enough ... but of course, without admitting how implicit they are in stoking the hate.
