Angry People in Local Newspapers compilation thread

Following the success of Christmas is RUINED, I bring you the Angry People in Local Newspapers compilation thread. :yeah:

This is a thread to share local news stories where the level of anger present is actually comical. :lol:

Feel free to share your own - we may even do a monthly competition in the future. :awesome:

The weirder the news story - the better.

Please provide a link to the news story rather than just a screenshot if you can. In this thread there can be exceptions to this rule the criteria to meet is that it has to be funny, but also meet community guidelines. :wink:

This thread is based on the similarly titled twitter and facebook pages.




For example: FURY as bid to build 1000 on fields that inspired Watership Down is APPROVED

Excellent pointing skills from the gentleman in the main photo. :yy:

I agree with the protesters though. The plans would disrupt local wildlife and biodiversity.

I agree too, that doesn't make the way the news piece is written any different. This thread is just an appreciation for the genre that is local news stories.
