• UTV bids for ITV Wales news pilot - guardian.co.uk
  "UTV, the Northern Ireland ITV franchise holder, is to bid to run a replacement ITV news pilot in Wales." Oh the irony...
• Police stop church photographer under terrorism powers - guardian.co.uk
  Harrassing photographers purely because they refuse to reveal their names to a Bank of America security guard is just making the police look like idiots and ruining respect for the police. This abject stupidity by the police MUST stop.
