This week was not an inspirational one for headlines.

So to help out Britain’s Favourite Newspaper, here are some headlines The Sun could have run if it had covered the story:

2. DIAL BE HACK
3. ‘WAPPING GREAT LIE’

6. BUG OFF
7. FINE LINE
8. PIN LADEN
9. BLOWER JOB
10. SHAMING OF THE SCREWS (yes I quite like that one)
