This looks to be a possible UL in the making resulting from the usual mixture of panic, sad events and good intentions (certainly Cassidy appears to have no concrete proofs for his assuptions, or if he has he's not produced them). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6761965.stm

Another person not particularly happy about the corpse photo here. I don't like to think of FT caving to any kind of 'moral majority' and going on a censorship kick but like the 'frogbaby' photo this just seemed ghoulish and disrespectful.

I've never worked at DEFRA, but until late last year I lived in a household composed of someone who worked in the complaints department at the DWP, someone who did a very similar job at DEFRA, and someone who manned an IT helpdesk. On cold nights, you could actually see the will to live...

This would be the DEFRA which is almost entirely staffed by short term, poorly trained, agency workers due to a budgeting loophole. Meaning that even when the agency staff are conscientious and non-vomitty the very few experienced permanent staff spend as much time cleaning up their mistakes...

My initials. C.O.C. Hmm. Ooh. As a point of possible mild interest, we've just realised that my partner's initials spell out their first name (or at least the most common short version of their first name, which is what they go by in daily life). As far as we know it wasn't deliberate.

This one was just sent 'round my place of work in Bristol. (The exact same email, citing festival park odeon). I'd have said something, but emails like these just makes me tired. (plus I like my boss and didn't want to seem as if I was being picky at him).
