"Wayne Couzens abused his position as a serving Metropolitan Police officer to rape and murder Sarah Everard"

Easy enough. The headlines accidentally implying he was an ex-officer using his inside knowledge to commit this crime should stop.

A thread of poorly worded headlines.
From the Met Police website itself:

From a BBC News correspondent (who corrected herself in a later tweet):

Women's Aid. I was surprised at this one.

Not your childhood bully frequently tweeting "Be Kind" 👀
I really feel adults who were teenage bullies should reach out to apologise to their victims before tweeting things like "Be Kind"
To be fair, she *tried* to bully me once by falsely reporting me for bulemia, so during badminton I told the boy she fancied that she'd just bought Songs About Jane by Maroon 5.

(Half hour before date)

Man: Hey, sorry, can we do this another time? I've got to be home at a specific time.

Me: Let me stop you there. No. You cancelled and rescheduled five times. Bye.

Him: ... Um, my nanna just went into hospital. I said I'd phone her at 8.

Me: ... Oh.
Lesson learned. Always listen to the sixth excuse lest you become the villain of the story
Five. Times. He's cancelled and rescheduled this five times. Three months have passed since we agreed to go on a date.
Now history will record me as the dickhead, not him. That's so frustrating.

Members of my family gaslighting me into letting my father verbally abuse me, and although now I can identify it, it doesn't make it easier when they say that sure, my father is unpleasant, but l when I stand up for myself, I'm making *them* feel awkward and uncomfortable.
The same family members sat in silence when my father called me every name under the sun.
It took years but I learned to stand up for myself. No-one else did.
Finally, they spoke up to say "That's enough, now stop" - but they weren't talking to my father.
They were talking to me.
My father: (referring to me) She's a fucking gobshite! She talks utter shit! Oh look, off she goes crying again.

Me: Don't talk to me like that. It's disgusting.

Family member: (sharply, to me) Right, that's enough. You're making this evening awkward for all of us.

You're right, of course. Christians in the UK don't commit acts of terrorism.
Catholics and Protestants have never committed acts of terrorism in the UK. Especially not in Northern Ireland or Scotland, where sectarian violence never happened.
Christianity has never played a role in UK terrorism, and there definitely wasn't a clear split between Catholics and Protestants during the Irish Troubles. The Ulster Volunteer Force never bombed Catholic owned businesses in N.I, which was obviously a coincidence.
During the Troubles, nobody ever asked you which church you attended in order to ascertain whether or not you were an enemy. No, sir, never happened.
Absolutely none of the IRA were Catholics, and the UVF were definitely not Protestant loyalists. Christianity was not involved.

Imagine a child in a school playground. This child pinches other children, but she only targets children belonging to a minority group. The pincher is subtle; she does it only when teachers aren't looking.
But other kids see her do it, and following her lead, they join in.
The kids being pinched don't deserve it. They just want to be left alone.
But the pinching child is telling everyone this minority group is dangerous. As evidence, the child shows everyone the scar of an old dog bite.
See, they say. Proof. Dogs bite; these children will too.
So the other kids (many of whom disliked this minority group anyway) are pinching, sometimes escalating to hitting, punching. The minority children, when they point this out, are told "when they go low, we go high" and encouraged to not retaliate. "Just ignore them."
