I agree that the Daily Express is an odd one to work out, since it seems to be just a shoestring version of the Mail. I'm guessing it might be carrying a lot of readers from its more illustrious past. Perhaps it has a slightly more masculine image than the Mail?

Gordon Brown has said he wants Britain to become the centre of global Islamic banking; Saudi Arabia and other Islamic states are buying up more and more British and Western companies, and we now have "Sharia-compliant" mortgages.
Nothing less than a complete sell out

That coupled with the rest of this government’s headlong plunge into the Islamisation of Britain passing laws left right and centre to accommodate them.

Daily Express investigation today
the idea of the express actually investigating anything at all is ludicrous
that said, its kind of surprising to see with what is almost actual fire in its belly. it has long seemed strangely detached, as though it doesn't believe what it espouses. this is because it doesn't really say anything, its never an opinion leader in the way, say, the mail is. far more than any other paper the express is for people who aren't very bright
― laxalt, Monday, 11 February 2008 21:23 (5 years ago) Permalink

I keep noticing the headlines of this paper, it seems ...worse than the others? Worse as in more hysterical, more into making its readers afraid that (they) are taking their liberties etc away. Worse as in stupider, also. EUROCRATS TO CONTROL BRITAIN'S BORDERS. IMMIGRANT BABY BOOM COSTS 1BN. OUTCRY AS POLICE LETS OFF 4,256 CRIMINALS. These three from last week (I just looked at their website) I guess they either make this stuff up, or if you found the actual story the headline was based upon, it would bear little resemblance to what was on the Express' front page? It's pretty sad.

Every single one of those reasons is just plain wacky.

JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS Overall the Jubilee weekend will witness most parts of the UK within an air-mass that will be warmer than anything we have experienced since March. Central and eastern regions appear likely to benefit from temperatures often in excess of 20C; cloud amounts look set however to be variable and a threat of thunderstorms especially in parts of England cannot be excluded. Further west there is greater chance of cloudier and possibly wetter conditions, with more depressed temperatures, as weather fronts seek to affect south-west England, Wales, North-west England, western Scotland and Northern Ireland.

COLDEST WINTER IN 100 YEARS ON WAY
BRITAIN will grind to a halt within weeks as the most savage freeze for a century begins.
Temperatures will fall as low as minus 20C in rural areas, forecasters warned last night, while heavy snow and “potentially dangerous” blizzards will close roads and cripple rail networks.
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: “We are looking at some of the coldest and snowiest conditions in at least 100 years. This is most likely to occur in the December to January period with the potential for widespread major snowfall across the country.

It was the same in the Sunday Times this weekend. "Strivers vs Skivers" and "This Is The Year We Crack Welfare".
"Skivers" seems to be based on receiving more in benefits than you give in tax.
There's a legit question to be asked about whether the government should effectively be subsidising employers that refuse to pay living wages but zero talk about increasing the minimum wage at the moment. What are the "skivers" in full-time work meant to do about it?
