London newspaper headlines: “Man bites dog”

London’s newspapers are known for their sensationalism. Here are some print headlines I copied down while reading the newspapers this week.

And these are from The Times, not tabloids such as The Sun and the Daily Mirror. (I included the online links; the online headline might be slightly different than the one in print):

1. Woman in hot tub rage killed partner

2. Woman crushed in car park

5. That flying tampon surely must be a TV first
(Call me a prude, but I found the description too graphic and decided not to include the link).
