As for "headlines that sting", there is a candidate where the old man who has fallen down at home, repeatedly rings 999 asking for help and no help arrives. In his last call, hours later, he says "just send an undertaker, it is too late". He dies shortly after this last message. I listened to this audio recording in horror. You would think that the tabloid hacks would jump on things like this as they are happening on a daily basis.
How about the headline (front page) in today's Times?
