a family newspaper

Oh, oh, actually, while I'm here...did you see the Sun yesterday?

I mean, fucking hell.

Just because the BBC showed a short bit of "dead Gaddafi" footage doesn't make it OK to go completely over the top with the blood and guts.

In case you're a sensible sort and didn't buy it, the front cover was a big picture of a corpse, close-up on the bullet wound to the skull, with the headline "THAT'S FOR LOCKERBIE".

Real classy, eh? And then there's eight pages pretty much just of pictures of corpses, with headlines crowing about how fantastic it is that this guy will never stand trial. One of them was "ROTTING IN HELL WITH HITLER". That's right, they dropped an H-bomb. I wish I was joking.

The whole thing was just sick, a macabre and extremely graphic celebration of death. In a newspaper which will appear on news-stands and in living rooms of families right across the country.

I wish they'd go back to tapping people's phones.
