Penarth Times: Baying hate mob in a rage over dog turds
There's your culprit - front left, big nose, pretending we haven't seem him.

Bournemouth Echo: Shopping centre deserted as roadworks block access
A true classic of the "Pointing as the source of my anger" school of press photography. While this is usually reserved for dog turds, potholes or dead rats, the Echo scores extra points for managing an entire shopping arcade in Boscombe.
The Bournemouth Echo - WE SALUTE YOU!
Mindful of the fact that too many angry people on a single webpage may make the internet actually explode, we feel it our duty to expand the remit of these pages to include soothing pictures of Kittens-In-The-News every now and then.
No need to thank us. Just doing our duty.
Bournemouth Echo: Basket of cute, fluffy kittens LEFT TO DIE, don't actually die.

Warrington Guardian: Parents in panic over school places
Who's the angriest in this shot? My money's on the mum in the pink top. I give her eight angry points out of ten.
Metro: Fury as naughty pupils locked in cupboard
Luxury.
When I was a kid, they'd stick us in t'coalhole and keep us there for a whole week just for speaking out of turn before flogging us within an inch of our lives. And we were thankful if they spared our lives.
(And a big "Up yours" to the Clacton and Frinton Gazette for not bothering to put pictures on their website)
Spotter: Sally Draper
Penarth Times: Enraged parents not mentioned at all in news report
... but are nevertheless captioned "ANGRY" just to make sure.

Spotter: Richard McKeever

A local news classic from 2008. Note the "Su Pollard" stance perfected through years parked in front of repeats of "Hi-De-Hi!".

In the words of TV's John Leslie: "Help ma boab"
GAAAAAAAH! We've made the press already with a write-up in London's Metro newspaper.
And now, the scowling news.
It's made us so angry, we're now going to have to be photographed pointing angrily at our own press coverage, and this turn of events could actually break the internet.
This also means that we're also going to have to keep doing this site. GAAAAAAH!
Basildon Echo: Rat-run road full of potholes
A true classic of the genre - angry people pointing forlornly at a hole in the road. Newspaper photography at its best.

Classic solo anger from a bloke done up in his finest. Any angrier and he might just explode.
Dorset Echo: Open-air pumpkin party disappears
"Come on. Scowl for the camera. SCOWL! Pretend your dog's just been run over or something"

And dip me in sausage meat and call me Daisy - there's a follow-up

Local news photographers are hugely skilled and poorly paid, and get sent to photograph miserable people gurning at uncooked meat products. Here, we celebrate their work.
