Tragic pickers haunt front pages

The front page of the Guardian is dominated by a picture of cockles from Morecambe Bay, the shellfish being gathered by the Chinese workers who were drowned by the rising tide.

The Times prints half of its front page headline in red, to highlight the tragedy of the nineteen deaths.

The Daily Mail also leads with the story, focusing on the hunt for the human traffickers who brought the Chinese to Britain.

In an editorial the paper says Britain's burgeoning black economy is proof that more workers are needed, so foreign workers should be registered, given the protection of the law, and pay tax like everyone else.

The Daily Express believes the tragedy is further evidence of the country's immigration crisis.

It says it shows there's nothing humanitarian about a "softly softly" approach to immigration and asylum.

'Campbell attack'

But the Guardian believes it's the "sinuous, hidden paths" which draw workers to Britain which need to be more clearly mapped.

The Daily Telegraph leads with an interview with Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell, in which the paper says she launched a withering attack on the bullying and aggressive style exemplified by Alastair Campbell.

Although the Telegraph admits she didn't mention Mr Campbell by name, it believes she had him in mind when she condemned "testosterone-charged men in TV and radio studios", showing off and trying to score off everyone else.

"It's a real turn-off," she tells the paper, which interprets her comments to mean that Mr Campbell is becoming a liability Labour wants to cut adrift.

Ms Jowell may have had a hand in the wording of the advertisement for the post of chairman of the BBC governors.

Harry's bar

The Financial Times has seen the ad, and says ministers have made getting on with the government an essential requirement.

The paper says that having the "credibility to act as an effective link between the BBC, the government and parliament" is a crucial part of the job description.

The latest exploits of Prince Harry draw comment from several papers.

The Daily Mail wonders whether topless models, nightclubs and a visit to a brewery should really be part of his mind-improving gap year.

The Daily Express though is pleased that he's turned out as a normal teenager.

In an editorial, the paper congratulates him for demonstrating his red-blooded credentials, and showing that he has the common touch.
