I believe these headlines are now composed on the internet, by blokes in Australia. So this is no longer the indigenous sense of humour, but one clearly closely allied:
MPs demand answers over Nutt sacking
Alan Johnson, the Home Secretary, is under pressure to fully explain his decision to sack his chief drugs adviser.
I’m surprised they didn’t work some teabagging into it! :o)
Some sub-editor is now odds on favourite to win the Christmas party “Most Suggestive Headline” award
Sorry to boast but I got there first…
