Binman kicked snowman

Has anyone seen this in The Sun?

"Callum Woodhouse, 19, was dismissed by Herefordshire Council last week after he was caught on CCTV "kung-fu" kicking the head off a snowman that had been built by a three-year-old."

Thoughts?

If he had kicked the head off the three year old then sacking might have been a reasonable reaction.

Damage to property, what else could he get up to nasty sod. They did right to sack him..... Kicking the heads off snowmen is not in his job description...

Yes. A snowman is an artistic creation. It could be worth millions in years to come.

Oh... hang on...

I would want to make sure there isn't more to it than that before I had any thoughts. The Sun -or any newspaper, for that matter- is more concerned with causing a sensation than delivering full and accurate information to its readers.

And, of course, only a brat with a horrible mother would ever build a snowman.

Historical stuff, Sun readers were never fixated with full and accurate information, most joy was attained when things went Tits Up, page three, my lucky number is three, maybe there is a connection.
