The Daily Teaser — 13-7-2013: Feed The World

Blimey, looks like yesterday was newsworthy … !

Not only did did Northern Ireland see the inevitable trouble — it WAS the Twelfth, yesterday — but a train crashed in France.

A typhoon hit Taiwan.   Bodies were found on Dartmoor.   Another Dreamliner had battery trouble.

And to cap it all … ?   A nail bomb went off outside a mosque in Tipton.

This is going to sound tasteless: but I’m getting the feeling next year’s Twelfth July teaser is going to be writing itself … !
