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

"It has since emerged that Heene planned to build an underground bunker to protect his family in the event of the sun exploding in 2012."

Good luck there buddy.

Awesome caption: "The 2012 date is based on the sudden demise of the Mayans, whose skulls are seen above"

So disappointed every A to the likes of "All my school friends are telling me that we are all going to die in the year 2012 due to a meteor hitting earth. Is this true?" isn't "Don't be a fucking gullible dick!"

Another 'the end is nigh' story to promote a crap film. DM readers hinting that Brown or Blair are in on it made me chuckle.

WAHT

I am not suggesting that any British scientists are currently conducting experiments comparable to those which were allowed in Nazi Germany or in Soviet Russia.

saying ecstasy is safe in our sink estates = not so bad an idea

The only difference between Hitler and previous governments was that he believed, with babyish credulity, in science as the only truth.

Wait, what?

It'd cheer them up a bit etc...

I like the way each part of his argument has a subhead: BLUSTER, IRRATIONALITY, NAIVETY. That may have backfired a tad.

Enough said about this filthy leach of a country.

it's good to see religious hate put aside and everyone united against paedophilia!

well, it actually is tbf

it is tbf?

Yeah, it's nice to see us putting aside our differences and embracing our shared love for violent cruelty and vengeance.

fly a plane into the paedos' homes, tbh

Yeah, then we'd all vote Osama!

A 'name and shame' campaign combined with encouraging suicide bombings would get rid of paedophiles and braindead vigilantes, so maybe worth considering.

get a camera crew to follow both parties

one of my favourite segments from Down The Line took this very theme

Personally, I think beheading and crucifiction isn't good enough.

Now that's what I call a hardliner, someone willing to bring back hanging, drawing and quartering.

just in case we were losing sight of the actual sentiment i was agreeing with.

It's not fair Germaine Greer gets to do all the articles about women in the 1960s, I'm easily as bonkers as her - says Bel Mooney My generation created the sexual revolution - and it has been wrecking the lives of women ever since

there was something truly showstopping by one Rosa Monkton about Labour's family advisor yesterday

I love the photo they have used with this one to illustrate the 60s (but if pixellated nipples are deemed nsfw don't click on the jpg below)

And what has all this terrible sex and drinking forced on us by those hippies led to - I hear you ask? Behold the full extent of how far we have fallen down the cesspit of our own making...

As the writer and feminist pioneer Rosie Boycott has said: 'What was insidious about the underground was that it pretended to be alternative. But it wasn't providing an alternative for women. It was providing an alternative for men in that there were no problems about screwing around.'

Rosie Boycott, yesterday

Stephen Glover - please fuck off.
Her timing was insensitive and her tone may have jarred. But in the light of new revelations it's hard to find fault with what Jan Moir wrote about Stephen Gately's sad death

Stephen Glover - please fuck off.

I often think this.

The Daily Mail is a fucking shitrag.

here is that brilliant rosa monkton article

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1232185/ROSA-MONCKTON-Dr-Rake-live-sink-estate-year.html

I suspect that the avalanche of complaints, and most of the abuse directed at Jan, came from a small but vocal minority, some of whom had probably not even read her original article.

Funnily enough, I suspect that almost all of them did read the article.

If Stephen Gately had been ‘Stephanie’, and Georgi Dochev had been ‘Georgiana’, blah blah blah

We now know the details because Georgi Dochev has given a long and shocking interview in the Sunday Mirror that has been barely noticed in the wider world.

Zing!

ha, yeah.

but yeah

i think she's almost a tragic figure. she certainly seems hugely damaged and fucked up and miserable, and i guess that makes her the ideal columnist for the mail, because miserable and damaged women are, for them, the best kind.

There's no fucking excuse for pish like this though:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1229399/LIZ-JONES-What-happened-I-tried-live-65-week.html

(though major lolz at the picture where she's ripped her leggings to shreds to denote her extreme poverty)

she's just insane really, isn't she? like, most of the mail peeps seem calculating and evil, but she's just proper batshit.

This comment on the £65 a week article is otm:

I know what's happened here. For years the Mail has been ranting about how anyone on the dole lives like Bill Gates while the affluent middle-classes are somehow poor because they struggle paying for private school and a million quid mortgage. Then the recession hits and lots of said middle-class people get thrown on the dole and find out that shockingly the DSS don't give fortunes in benefits. So irate readers stop buying the paper and the Mail eds decide to do a 'sympathy for the devil <unemployed>' piece to get them back. However they get Jones to write it and she turns in a piece so patronising it would win a bad journalism Oscar - if such a thing existed. And by the way, is Jones having a mental breakdown? Her writing is now bordering on the insane....
