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

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.

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.

Oops - sorry.

That really isn't parody? It read exactly like an Onion article.

where is the DM hate thread?

Why I hate the Daily Mail, as distilled into one edition

This Liz Jones column, however, is so hilariously head-in-clouds insular bubbleworld that it belongs in the Love thread.

tbh this thread should be locked.

I just knew Liz Jones would have a macbook:

The URL says it all. No mention of whether a wormhole would help immigrants get in or stop them.

Shame they're no longer accepting comments for this article, I was just going to post that this disgraceful freak should be sent back to the robot universe he came from. And maybe a bible quote about how THE LORD said thou shalt not travel in thyme.

How about travelling in parsley?

Read your own columns recently, hen?

Peer pressure: Even respected, intelligent students from normal, sensible backgrounds are vodka eyeballing

While medical experts say it is still a relatively new phenomenon, a quick glance at the internet reveals how rife it has become among young drinkers in Britain.

Speaking of a quick glance at the internet...
http://gawker.com/5540166/vodka-eyeballing-the-dumbest-trend-piece-ever

What the Mail have done is find one woman who damaged her eye while pouring vodka in it as a student stunt and convinced their readers that this is a sweeping trend

It would be easy, of course, to dismiss Melissa as nothing more than a silly 'ladette'. But it is hard to reconcile that stereotype with the young woman she is today, fresh out of university in London with a first-class English degree, the privately-educated daughter of financiers, and an aspiring writer.

o rite then

Because students don't ever do stupid things while drinking, do they?
