As one parent quite rightly said on Twitter, apparently:
‘she should have been safe at school, she was just sat on a bench talking with friends….it could have been my daughter.’
After all, on school days, the parents have no responsibility for their children.
And, in addition, there is no such thing any more as ‘an accident’ but, rather, there is always some person to blame.
I suppose that if it had been a Saturday or a Sunday the headline could have read something like:
Park keepers guilty of manslaughter
or
Council killing children!
The actual headline of this article didn’t really say that teachers had murdered the girl but only implied it.
Girl, 13, crushed to death by a branch as she sat on a park bench after teachers went out on strike
But, then, this is the Daily Hate Mail so, I suppose, what can you expect!
Hi – ya, I har ya. Amazing how writers or anyone can “spin” words to imply whatever!!
Love you

peace…..
‘hear’ not “har’, oops
There was an excellent bit by Russell Howard a couple of years ago summing up the papers. He said the Daily Mail was “Paedos! Gays! Immigrants! Blacks! Not on my bloody doorstep!”, The Sun was “Paedos! String ‘em up without a trial I say mate! Phoooor, look at her knockers, eh? Bet you’d give her a go eh? She’s only 19! What is wrong with you? You a pervert?” and The Express was “It’s all gone to hell, if only Diana was still alive, she’d make it all better…” When you read the headlines, he’s not far off the mark…
p.s.: We actually nickname The Express, The Daily Diana at work, because their Diana coverage up until a couple of years ago was quite something else.
So, so true. My worry is that people actually believe this stuff. Do they? It’s my window on the UK and it makes me never want to go back!
