DAILY EXPRESS FRONT PAGE

thousands dying in Pakistan, what do we get on the front page ? a slimline Bea !!! What The Funicular

[boxtops]

Does that really surprise you?... sadly the events in Pakistan are thousands of miles away, celeb culture sells more papers.

it's to do with how closely readers are affected personally.

Everyone knows Bea. Nobody knows any Pakistanis.

er, have I got that the right way round?

[boxtops]

Jno ;-) - I don't know Bea and I don't particularly care about her - but I do know plenty of people from Pakistan, and personally I have been wondering if any of their families are affected by the flooding.

[T&S]

At least they've moved on from going on about Princess Diana....
