    The original Argus photo here — which read "Council Calls In Counsellors To Counsel Councillors" — has been replaced.

    The Argus

    The Argus is a 133-year old newspaper based in Brighton and Hove in East Sussex, England.

    According to Wikipedia, the paper is a bit of trouble with a near-20% drop in circulation in 2012.

    This tabloid needs to stay solvent, so that their headline writers can keep churning out these stop-you-in-your-tracks gems.
