Today’s Front Pages

The stark contrasts of the front pages caught my eye today.

By far the ‘best’ front page today is the Indy’s, continuing their tradition of poster-style front pages (of which I am a big fan):

The Sun and The Star both have different takes on the disaster, with the sun leading on Charlie Dimmock’s mother, and the Star just about managing to squeeze in a headline about the silence below a scantily clad ‘Jen’.

Rather than leading on the biggest natural disaster in history, the apparently respectable Mail lead on… Council Tax.

I suppose I should be glad it wasn’t their new favourite: gypsies.
