British soldier brutally hacked to death in broad daylight by terrorists in London
While many radical Islamic terrorists prefer using explosives, a pair of men who identify themselves as fighting for Islam brutally hacked a British soldier to death in broad daylight with knives and meat cleavers in southwest London. After the murder, the men chatted with reporters, encouraged bystanders to take photos and then attacked police who arrived on the scene.

British reporter taken into custody in Beijing, films the whole police state ordeal live
He had been broadcasting from Tiananmen Square in Beijing, probably a routine story on the just-a-formality election of Xi Jinping as president of China, when he mentioned the 1989 protests. Police quickly ushered Stone and his crew into a van and, apparently sometime later (it’s sunny when he gets into the van, dark when he gets out), unloads them at what appears to be a park or school where they’re politely but insistently detained.
What’s amazing about this is that Stone is broadcasting live the entire time. At one point, he says right into the camera that he thinks this is only being allowed because the police believe they’re recording it all to tape. (If you saw a guy carrying a camera that was light enough for him to put on his shoulder but wasn’t plugged in to any obvious broadcast equipment, you’d probably think the same thing.)

New British citizenship test will cover things like Margaret Thatcher, Monty Python and the Beatles
If you’re applying for British citizenship in the near future, you’d better start studying not only British history, but British culture. The UK will be revising their citizenship test to replace questions about water meters and job interviews with more important information about things like Stonehenge, Margaret Thatcher, the Beatles and Monty Python.

Kate Middleton’s first official portrait unveiled, the public gasps in horror
No, that portrait above isn’t a projection of what Kate Middleton would look like 20 years from now, it’s supposed to be a portrait of her now. The public reaction has been not very good, but artist Paul Emsley has defended his work, saying that it’s difficult to paint such beauty.

MI6 codebreaker probably locked himself in a sports bag, not gangsters
In 2010, when the naked body of MI6 codebreaker Gareth Williams was found locked into a large duffel bag, it was quickly suspected there would be foul play involved, as in Williams was the target of a hit against the British intelligence agency. As it turns out, he probably locked himself in there, possibly because he was being a dumbass.
