Re: boycot "the daily mail"
The Daily Mail??? Nuff said! gave up years and years ago.. bloody wolf in sheeps clothing! spends the whole time masquerading as a serious paper, when in fact the truth and fact are so far in retreat, it is embarrassing... why not just put its name in "Red Shading" and be done with it? huh?

The mail is just the sun without the tits (oh, sorry should I say boobs!)
Did anyone read their coverage of the Madeleine Mccann story.

Re: boycot "the daily mail"
I would go as far as to say I'd rather get my news from The Sun than the Daily Mail. At least, though The Sun expresses equally (from my point of view) objectionable opinions, it makes no effort to portray itself as a serious newspaper.

Re: boycot "the daily mail"
My OH has just rung the editor and asked if they will be printing an apology.
The Editors office were unaware of the offending caption and they will be responding by email tomorrow.
He also rang the British High Commission in Canberra this morning and registered his complaint.
I shall update once/if an email is received.

in the 1930s the Daily Mail were admirers of the Nazis and enthusiastic supporters of the British Union of Fascists

Re: boycot "the daily mail"
The debate aspect is still there but there was a comment on the news story comments section by a Stephanie. It had many positive 'votes'but seems to have surprisingly disappeared now. My comment on the picture was obviously filtered out (it was polite) and not posted!!

Obviously he was a lunatic but many of hitlers ideas are extremely interesting and well thought out - unlike the daily mail.....

Re: boycot "the daily mail"
Yes, but did the subeditor manage to illustrate how Australian bushfires will lead to more swan-eating gypsy lesbian EU immigrants and the decline of house prices??? That's what's usually important to the Daily Mail...

Re: boycot "the daily mail"
The daily 'hate' mail really is a nasty paper. The stories always revolve around 3 themes:
The scandal of teenager mothers (we didn't have to worry about teens becoming pregnant in the old days because the family would mysteriously disappear then reappear a year later with an 'extra' member)
The invasion of the immigrants (they weren't around in the old days)
How crime is rocketing under Labour (all this new fangled way of running government it would never have happened back in the good old days of slums and urchins playing in the gutter)

Their articles usually have a tiny disclaimer tucked away somewhere about how the previous few 1000 words are just a figment of some hack's fevered imagination.

Re: boycot "the daily mail"
There was that time a couple of years back when you had to buy four daily mails to get a cheap train ticket. As a skint student I did collect them - although made sure that the woman in the shop knew that i was just after the coupons, I wasn't buying it for a good read
