A wet dream of a front page?

I had to buy the Daily Mail today after spying their headline today:
'MURDERERS AND RAPISTS AT LARGE'

At first glance I wondered if yesterday had been a particularly slow news day and as such the editors at the Daily Mail had just decided to write their dream headline. After all, it's bascially what they've been telling us in a variety of forms for years but haven't been able to be so, well, damned obvious about it.

Then I noticed that the Daily Express also had a very unbiased and well balanced story running, and so my dream of the Mail's subheading being

'AND THEY'RE ALL ASYLUM SEEKERS'
floated away like a retarded child's helium balloon at a summer fete.

Another time, perhaps.

A retarded child might still hang onto his balloon.
