Why I love the Daily Mail, as distilled into one story.

would be honoured to make the list of a Lettlet one day

xp - oh right. Well, welcome back!

i devoted a lot of facebook wallspace to things gleaned from this thread, so my ghostly presence was around

There are occasions when you have to legitimately, unironically love the DM, and the caption for the top photo in this article is one of them.

LOL xp

and not xp

However best rated comment reminds me why I should never never read the comments.

This is a form of child abuse as her other young children can't all be receiving dedicated care from her.

She should be sterilized immediately.

If she had the money to support her large brood then she could have as many babies as she wants to but whilst everyone else is paying for them she should be stopped NOW.

i love the way they got 3 children in and were like 'fuck it let's scar the bastards'

I think poor little Rogue got the worst deal.

I met someone who was seriously considering 'Rogan' as a first name for their son, middle name 'Josh'.

Think they settled on Sam Osa or something instead though.

Dan Sak.

Dopey Aza

Jill Frezi

Chik En Tik Aaaaaaaaaaaaah Me Sailor

More like Jacob Screek

I think there's an ancient British bylaw that states if you name your kid Voorhees you are henceforth allowed to do whatever the fuck you like

By all accounts he's a jolly good fellow.

And Keyser Söze all of us

xp stealing that for the xword thread

There's going to be some pretty cheerful people working in metal labels' press depts today

poor Gaahl

they all sound great, but none of them actually feature murder so wtf daily mail?

um, "Strangled" ?

TOENAIL PULLING

Also available to any child - the Bible, Shakespeare, Dickens...

I can't believe they've mentioned the Bulgar/Child's Play 3 "link". It was bad enough making that crap up back then but to reference your own made-up crap about it is really...er..crap.

there has not been any toenail pulling in shakespeare

I bet someone in Titus Andronicus wanted to pull someone's toenail off though.

poor Gaahl

lol @ fake Gaahl comment underneath article

'Out, out vile toejam'

Last week, they were cleared of insulting a Muslim guest when high-profile ‘hate crime’ allegations were thrown out by a judge to public applause. But, faced with £400,000 of debt and the wreckage of a business they say has been all but destroyed by the controversy, there has been little celebration for Ben and Sharon – just bewilderment at the way they have been treated.

The experience has left them questioning their faith in the police, in the Crown Prosecution Service and in a British establishment that seems bent on protecting all manner of rights and sensitivities. Unless, that is, you are a church-going Christian.

It has done little to improve their confidence in the way their case was handled to learn that Detective Constable Tracy O’Hara, the officer who played a leading role in the prosecution for the unusual crime of religiously aggravated harassment and took charge of their interrogation, is a leading light in the Merseyside Police Gay And Lesbian Support Network.

homosexuals and muslims are well known to be in cahoots

Yeah, look at that 'mohammed guy

a British establishment that seems bent

yup.

I really don't understand the 'Free Speech' campaign banners that their supporters used. Why have those if they didn't actually say any of the things they were accused of saying?

Pls explain how this guy coming to uk to better himself and still speaking with a strong native accent after 32 years doesn't make him a disgusting savage taking all our jobs. i bet he still supports Holland an'all.

NickB - that was exactly my thought on seeing the news reports on this. I guess they had more sense than to take the same line themselves.

Nah, it's about time somebody stood up for the British public's right to harrass and intimidate.

I really don't understand the 'Free Speech' campaign banners

You reminded me why I took against the 'defendants' ...

With supporters like those, and so on,,

Daily Mail comments box is likely to go into meltdown over this one:

It's a good spot.

daily mail comments all come from guardian readers, just like guardian comments all come from daily mail readers.

hard to really argue with trying to brain someone that was holding your family hostage tbh.

The point being "at what point do you stop kicking the hostage taker's head in?" ...

hard to really argue with trying to brain someone that was holding your family hostage tbh.

Catching him in the street after he's fled your house and your family is safe then going and getting a cricket bat, a metal pole and a hockey stick and beating his brains out isn't exactly the same thing.

yeah i specifically said 'brain' i mean let's get the pavement messy here people

Liz Jones learns what it's like to be homeless

that got the full treatment on the DM hate thread. tbh this thread should be locked.
