The Perfect Daily Mail Story
BETH Hale toils away for the Daily Mail, striving as she must to produce the ultimate Tabloid Bingo story, the story that will feed on fear, scare and epitomise all that is wrong with gone-to-hell-in-a-handcart Britain.
One on July 14, 2009, she hit the big one:
Crushed to death: Maths teacher killed in rubbish truck after falling asleep in wheelie bin following night of drinking
Boxes ticked:
Wheel bins – the Mail’s failed campaign to end the wheelie bin menace
Failing educators
Binge drinking
The lack of maths teachers, now more acute then yesterday
A scare story
One worker at the depot said: “It is horrendous, a horrible way to go. It looks like he decided to go for a lie down in a skip at some point. Then he was picked up and crushed to death. It’s unthinkable.”
Now if Hale can discover that the binman is a Muslim, has smoked cannabis or been fat in public, the story could get even more fulfilling…
