A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.
It's Labour party conference time and this headline from the Daily Mirror, "Ed and shoulders above the rest", uses a common phrase in English "To be head and shoulders above the rest", replacing the word 'head' with 'Ed'; the first name of the Labour party leader Ed Milliband.
To be head and shoulders above the rest, means to be superior to someone or something, and shouldn't be confused with Head and Shoulders, a well-known anti-dandruff shampoo.
