That's an insect crawling across the camera, is she serious?

That's what most of the comments are saying.

At least it's not a 'ghost' created on an iPhone app this time (the Mail's fallen for that twice before)

They've fallen for it yet again today.

The readers haven't fallen for it though if the comments are anything to go by...

On the 'man arrested for not smiling' story, this is an interesting point of views (disclaimer - it's at Harry's Place, which I wouldn't normally trust any more than I would a 2-day old Tuna sandwich or a guaranteed used Saab from you-know-who) but I leave that to you.

She just looks understandably pissed off.

Still posed for the camera though.
The moderators didn't allow my comment warning that the scammer was trying to scam her again.

Of course it's posed! How else would the picture be taken? Spy satellite?

Pensioner who painted postbox gold in tribute to Olympic triathlon champion sees red when 'miserable' Royal Mail quickly cover it up

Good sadface, but the stupid old goat should never have painted the postbox in the first place.

Some of the comments on that are INSANE. More insane than usual, that is.

The green ones all seem to be pointing out that he cannot go around painting other people's property on a whim. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Wasn't this initially reported as being done by a posse of young ne'er do wells?

Always interesting to see how the comments change depending on the person involved.

Yes, I agree with those. I posted on this story in the (sensible) Olympics thread, before the ShiteRag got hold of it.

No, I mean stuff like this. I have no idea what this gibbering twat is on about.

British lessons are needed here. 1. In the UK if youre an ordinary citizen ,and you make sure you cross your letter t ,and dot the letter i ,you are more than likely to be left alone. Lesson 2 . UK citizens should know that quite a few government institutions are owned by the public in name ONLY. 3. DIY is only tolerated when its for your own use ,since you are potentially taking away somebodys job.4. Common sense has left the UK a long time ago ,so please dont expect to see any normally. 5. Especially in the UK 50% of normal life is "public" ,the other 50% is "society" . One example (of thousands) ,painting a postbox gold ,even for a valid and responsible reason by a member of the public , is public action ,whereas giving money or your time to charity is society.

Holy mother of fuck. "Yeah, so we need a photograph detailing your trauma and your impotent rage against the system, so, can you, like, put on a really cheap blazer or suit jacket - our readers like a smartly dressed man - but leave the tie out and then, can you hold up your passport...oh, you don't have a British Blue Leather holder...oh, well that's a pity and unfortunately our stylist didn't bring one...you know how it is, something to show a bit of proper patriotism, what...perfect, and can you hold up the offending item...now, for the look, I want you to imagine you're getting a prostate exam and you've just realised that you're starting to like this, but you don't want to show...no, don't grin so much...Hilary, can we put a bit of lip tint on him...no, sir, don't worry, it's not lipstick, see...it comes in a black container so your whored-out maligned masculinity and pride isn't impinged...yes Hilary, I agree that we should do something with the hair but it's too late to think of sensible things like that and now, everyone...smile!"
