Here are the headlines which the British papers that you probably don’t read had on their front pages to mark the Pope’s Death:<\/p>\n\n

\n
The Mail on Sunday<\/dt>\n
Camilla will be princess of Wales.
\nHer ex-husband is linked to Sinn Fein chief.
\nSafe in Heaven<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
\n
The People<\/dt>\n
My hell wed to Tracy
\nShe beat me up in a rage
\nDrunk for 2yrs solid
\nVomited food at me
\nDrove me to suicide
\nNearly died from boozing.
\nThe Corrie Monster exclusive by the husband whose heart she broke.
\nPope Dead. He slips away at 8.37 pm, saying Be happy.
\nExclusive Wills buys home with lover Kate.
\n3 off as toon barmy army fight each other. Arsenal second as United slip.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

(those are all<\/em> the words on the front page of the Sunday People<\/em>, which sells over 2m copies a day).<\/p>\n\n

\n
News of the World<\/dt>\n
Brave to the last
\nLegends of Rock. Free CD inside every single paper.
\nHarry Cheats on Chelsy.

\n

\nFree cd inside .. no tokens, .. no fuss
\nThe Pope is Dead. The world mourns for John Paul: see Pages 4,5,39-42.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

Of course, the respectable press put the Pope’s death all over the page. But the papers I have quoted are the real Mainsteam media in this country. Every single one of them sells more than even the godawful Sunday Times.<\/em> So I think the Americans out there can feel a little smug this morning.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
