Pensioner arrested on suspicion of murder after a suspected burglar was stabbed to death.

In my role as urban's very own daily mail correspondent, I can now tell you that Eamon Holmes has now called for the floral tributes to be bulldozed each day. To be honest, that's a game changer - await further updates.

Thanks for taking one for the team and being willing to read this shit to save the rest of us doing it but isn't a bulldozer a bit much surely a pair of scissors and a black bin bag would be more than sufficient?
Is he seriously suggesting that the fence which belongs to the guy across the street (himself an innocent bystander) should be destroyed to stop people that the Daily Fail doesn't like from doing something that isn't illegal?

Eamon's an ideas man, he doesn't do detail.

No news yet on Sue Pollard or H From Steps take on Flowergate. However, my sources tell me that Vernon Kay has been commissioned to write a Guardian Editorial. They thought they'd got Peter Kay.

I'd buy the fence and then auction it off as a Banksy.

If media generated outrage reaches religious proportions, they'll be able to sell the fence in bits. 21st Century version of The True Cross.

Yeh but we don't like to talk about that, it may be true bit he's very litigious about it

if all the pieces of the true cross hawked over the centuries were obtained and stuck together into a new cross, it would be taller than the empire state building apparently*

I have to tell you that the tributes have been torn down a fourth time. President Trump may have to intervene.

when they were up they were up
and when they were down they were down
but when they were only halfway up they were neither up nor down

The war of the roses.

I'm afraid my new friends in the DM got there before you on that one.

In an attempt at seriousness (well, sort of), there now seem to be 2 almost orderly queues, one lot putting up the flowers, another pulling them down, but never quite meeting. Plod not intervening, but the press the main players, interviewing both sides as they step away from their flower placing/stomping duties. The latest stomper said his son became addicted after being sold drugs by a/the traveller community. Whole thing is weird, sad, gruesome - all in one state of Britain package.

Pop Up business opportunity on site, selling flowers and - for the stomper with arthritis - pre stomped flowers to fling away in disgust. All to the sound of clicking shutters. Chris Morris shakes his head and says it's all too farfetched for a Brasseye Special.

To the tune of the Hokey Cokey

You put the flowers up
They take the flowers down
Up down up down chuck them on the ground
Then terrorise the neighbours driving round and round
Thats what it's all about
Oooh flowery confrontation
Oooh teddy bear situation
Oooh balloon and scissor deflation
Up down round and round, you couldn't make it up
