A severed pig's head was tied to the gates of an Islamic school
::)

Why describe it as a 'severed pig's head'?
If the head hadn't been severed then the headline would be:

"A pig was tied to the gates...."

Of course if it had said 'a pig's severed head'.......

Our editorial standards are doomed.  noooo:
