Paper Monitor

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.
Paper Monitor knows how it feels to have a bad day... Falling out of the wrong side of bed, finding the fridge bereft of milk and then spending the day saying the wrong things at work.
But, then, at least Paper Monitor's misplaced phrases are unlikely to have global repercussions.
Spare a thought then for David Cameron who, having slickly negotiated the pitfalls of being prime minister during his No 10 honeymoon, has quickly been brought down to Earth.
Not content with pointing out what it sees as one "gaffe", the Daily Mail even mentions a second "blunder" on the same page.
Firstly:
David Cameron was facing damaging questions over his diplomatic style and judgment last night after making a throwaway claim that Iran had nuclear weapons.The PM was branded a foreign policy 'klutz' after the gaffe, made during a public meeting screened on live television.
Strong stuff, but perhaps less painful than the accompanying report of by suggesting on US TV that Britain had been America's junior partner during the Second World War.
Mrs Finn, it seems, was unimpressed by the PM's apology and explanation during a public question and answer session.
His party's former chairman Lord Tebbit also weighed in, accusing Mr Cameron of "sloppy, slap-happy" government for remarks suggesting Pakistan was "exporting terror".

"Communist China set to seize Liverpool FC," reports the Daily Mirror under the headline "You'll Never Wok Alone".
Rumours abound that Hong Kong businessman Kenny Huang's proposed buyout of the club from American duo Tom Hicks and George Gillett is backed by China's state investment vehicle.
Various denials have been issued but it has not stopped the headline writers having plenty of fun.
From a foreign policy view, the reaction of the club's fervent following reported by Chris Brereton in the Independent is a touch alarming.
Forget the fact that they know little about Mr Huang - or any of the other potential bidders. For the time being, anybody has to be better than the current owners."As long as it gets the Yanks out," smiled Robert Kelly, a student aged 18.
Paper Monitor feels this foreign policy is a tricky business.
