Oh dear. In the view of the editor of the Six O'Clock News on BBC1 last night, the second most important story in the UK was a teacher hitting another teacher with an adjustable spanner. The video was clearly so compelling it was shown twice in the reporter package. In the 60s and 70s court reporting of gruesome crime was a staple of the prim Daily Telegraph. Now it seems BBC News is following the same path.
Some headlines from the UK site this morning:
Gangster who ordered acid attacks caught after five-year hunt
Museum thieves jailed for cage fighter murder plot (London)
Man who killed estranged wife jailed for 27 years (Devon)
Man killed after 'long-standing grudge' - jury told (Kent)
Man jailed for life after murdering 'gentle giant' (Nottingham)
Marmalade-droppers.
