Sun Steals Headline From Telegraph - Guido Fawkes

Sun Steals Headline From Telegraph

The Sun has been receiving much adulation this morning following its Pink Floyd-inspired headline lambasting Barclays boss Bob Diamond.

A classic of the genre…

However before they could take all the credit Twitter helpfully pointed out that the Sun had nicked it from Telegraph sketch-writer Michael Deacon, who tweeted yesterday:

If #Barclays boss Bob ends up on the dole, we could have Sign On, You Crazy Diamond #barclaysheadlines

— Michael Deacon (@MichaelPDeacon) June 28, 2012

Someone better tell Brian…

UPDATE: The baboon is crediting the Sun:

Quote of the Day

The Guardian’s election editorial urges voters to back Labour with the compelling argument:

“The pain and hurt within the Jewish community, and the damage to Labour, are undeniable and shaming. Yet Labour remains indispensable to progressive politics.”
