It's not a foot long one is it!

Probably, but they wouldn't use it as a rule.

No idea why I just read this, but...

Arrest after over 50 phones stolen at Royal Blood's Arena Birmingham gig

It says 'arrest', as in just one person, and 53 phones. Seems the person/thief was targeting a specific band? Seriously? 53 phones in a single night. That has to be around €2,000 a night. Did they work in the locker room?

Whilst the protest is uber naff, I was taken by this line in the story, from an enraged passer by:

I was enraged that someone picked such an inappropriate place to do their protest

What's next, Faslane Anti-Nuclear Protesters condemned for their inappropriate venue?

It is difficult to imagine a less inappropriate place for vegans to protest against meat than outside a butcher's shop

No, pickpocketing in a crowded venue with many thousands of people, i don't think it'd be hard to steal a phone every couple of minutes over a couple of hours. It is a common tactic, usually in small group rather than an individual. Never go to a gig without zipped pockets.

Safety pins, just sayin.

Try pulling up there and see how quickly the fuzz come. The state clearly thinks it's the wrong venue.

Not a headline as such, but I'll stick it here, as it's not worth a standalone thread.

A regional publisher says it is working urgently with Google to understand how a “distasteful” survey asking readers to choose their favourite image from a set of children’s photos appeared on a story about child sex abuse.

The Google survey asked readers of Gazette Live – the online channel for the Teesside Gazette – to pick the the image they liked “best” in order to access a story headlined: “Cleveland Police investigating 20 to 30 historic child sexual abuse cases.”

The issue came to light after it was spotted and subsequently tweeted by a national newspaper journalist, Alexi Mostrous, who is head of investigations on The Times.

They obviously didn't give any thought to what sort of stories a local paper is likely to run, and try and exclude the survey from running on those pages. Surely that must be possible through keywords, or whatever.
