    thing is a vet was called who found a parrakeet bird with a broken leg and breathing problems

    so this truth and pain came after the head line
    Ive seen lots of comments about this on other newspaper comment boards and the usual stuff …diversity , meanwhile muggers get off scot free etc, political correctness etc etc
    thing is though a bird was found in suffering and was destroyed by a vet
    thats the sad part ,people focus on the goldfish bit and alarming that the birds pain and distress was forgotten or ignored
    shows you the 2 dimensional mind set of the folk who publish these rags

    chocolate cuts heart disease?
    thats good news so guess the folk with haaardened arties had better have 10 bars a day after all whats a bit of 200 grams saturated fat
    proof that britain has gone mad?
    so hiding the fact a bird was put down behind a knee jerk headline proves Britain has gone mad ?
    no ..it proves how manipulative and into half truths and scaremongering the tabloids are and also judging by the inane cmenst Ive found on the tabloid comments forums how brainwashed and indifferent to suffering and the truuth this nation has become ,forums full of usual tosh about diveristy police and criminals getting off scot free
    but only a few commenst condeming the animals suffering
    shows you the tabloids create hysteria and perpetuate it with half baked truths and dichotomy and folk fall for it
    the birds suffering was central to the issue but niceley forgotten
    am suprised new labour wasnt blamed for it !

    “Proof Britain really has gone mad”
    This wording should appear on the front page of every edition of the Express.

    How to avoid heart disease….eat chocolate???
    How to stay slim forever….avoid chocolate??

    Given that the actual chocolate is healthy story should be “people who eat half a (small) bar a week” are more healthy than those who eat loads, shouldn’t that be filed in the “no shit Sherlock” folder.

    @Phil… surely the fact that people still buy the Excess is “proof Britian really has gone mad”!

    What happened to the parliamentary report into the University of East Anglia / “Climate Gate” affair? A few months ago this was (allegedly) a major global scandal. Now it’s been pushed off the front page by some peculiar story about a goldfish.
    The obvious explanation is the report contradicted the Express’s line so they’ve played it down so as not to undermine a profitable (if dodgey) storyline.

    A story that chocolate is good for you just before Easter? Call me cynical if you like, but knowing how these things work I’m wondering in the origin of this story is Easter Egg Manufacturers. Another flat Earth story?

    The really ought not just copy the DM’s (pathetic) headlines.

    At the very least we ought to have had a ‘NOW….’ stylee job, surely?

    Is this the biggest news of the day……………….what with the arctic freeze on the way. easter travel chaos and an election is this really all they can come up with.

    The sooner this paper goes bust the better.
