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

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1348207/Gay-couple-win-1-800-Christian-hotel-owners-refused-double-room.html

Mrs Pilkington, a devout Christian who says she ‘understands the issues’ because her son is gay, has treated around ten patients using the controversial Sexual Orientation Change Efforts programme over the past decade. She said she wanted to help ­others who were in a ‘similar place’ to her 29-year-old son who, she insisted, was ‘heterosexual. He just has a homosexual problem’.

lol crazy pants

heterocide imo

look closely at the tattoo on the right forearm of the guy on the left in the mail's cartoon about the gay couple who got turned away from a b&b. because obviously *they're* the real nazis.

i can only see squiggles but lol at how the rights depiction of homosexuals has gone from dandys to biker thugs. where did that come from?

oh wait i see it now. looooool wtf daily mail

thought the old dear at reception was a bloke for a minute, which made the whole thing even more wtf

Imagining this girl crawling into playgroup wearing a top hat and toting a cigarillo and calling her playmates 'old chum'.

'What ho, school master! Is it time for elevenses?'

What girl? (Page has obviously updated)

It hasn't. On the right.

Couldn't bring myself to read that thing all the way through, but surely the point is that the nursery is specifically funded to help immigrants. WTF is their problem with that?

The answer to your question (as with most questions in this thread) is IT'S THE DAILY MAIL

They won't "lose" their "home". They might go out of business and have to sell their *hotel*, which they own and is probably worth at least a million.

As usual, the wrong answer gets upvoted and the right answer gets downvoted.

RED ARROW 1486:
The hoteliers are conducting a commerical business and must abide by the laws of the land regarding discrimination. The correct decision was made.

GREEN ARROW 997:
I hope that Mrs Bull appeals to the Euro court. This is an outrageous affront to their civil right to self determination. What ever happened to a shopkeeper's right to "refuse service to any one"? Every business has rules about who can and cannot be served, and in this case, I believe she was well within her rights, given her religious beliefs, to refuse service.

I'm sure the money that the hotel owners got from the DM for their story covers the £3600 fine.

I'mma start a hotel and refuse any godbotherers in. I'll have Anton La Vey bibles and a deck of thoth tarot in every bedside drawer.

The comments (and the distribution of green and red arrows) make me want to hurt people.

xpost, what Stan said

GREEN ARROW 997:
I hope that Mrs Bull appeals to the Euro court.

hahaha @ the daily-mailers suddenly loving the idea of the european court of human rights to dictate british law when it suits their purpose.

I liked the green arrow one about "does this mean I'm allowed to order a steak in a vegetarian restaurant now?". YES THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

oh I just can't wait for the Liz Jones article where she goes and stays there... /sarcasm

and tries to pay with buttons

"This was the lovely room in which those heathen sodomites wished to carry out their heinous ungodly activities"

"Chymorvah is a small, loss-making hotel, which charges £43 per person per night. Yet the Bulls did not go into this business to make a fortune, but to offer Christian hospitality."

If you sell your product/service at less than cost, you are going to go out of business. The 1800 fine is not the point w/r/t this, i feel.

Don't see any mention of their Christian beliefs and policy being a selling point. Which you would expect if they are imposing their Christianity on guests, no?

Yet the Bulls did not go into this business to make a fortune, but to offer Christian hospitality.

!!!

I'm sure the money that the hotel owners got from the DM for their story covers the £3600 fine.

any idea how much they would have received? what's the going rate for a hateful daily mailbomb?

Disappointed that Chy Morvah isn't Welsh for "Up The Bum."

Only had the male proprietor been called John could this have been any more of a Daily Mail perfect storm.

Don't see any mention of their Christian beliefs and policy being a selling point.

There's a tiny wee Jesus fishy up in the corner of the logo but that's all I cd find.

there are some pretty sensible, level headed comments below that Mail piece, better than you often find below Guadian pieces, depressingly ebnough, BUT THEY HAVE ALL BEEN DOWNRATED LIKE -500 - -100 TIMES! It is almost comical, really. Archetypal Mail reader behaves like archetypal Mail reader. I added a somewhat trolly comment (cough)

And who do the Bulls have to thank for their problems? The self righteous, ever so wonderful, bigot-branding, bolshevik party, as usual.

LOOOOOL this one got uprated 80 times!

LOL

looooooooooooool that is a middle class comedy front page

important question: do hovercrafts discriminate against "gays"?

SO basically a study into whether the equality act (covering plenty things apart from sexual orientation) is being applied offshore as well as onshore = are the gays being picked on by hovercrafts. Well done, Mail on Sunday.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1349691/Governments-30m-equality-discover-hovercrafts-discriminate-gays.html

This country needs to stop and take a good look at itself before it is too late. And perhaps if we can put the clock back 30 or 40 years - DO IT.

Yes, we need a return to the golden ages of endless inner city riots and mass unemployment of the early 80s or rampant inflation and the three-day week of the early 70s. I'm sure Derek was very happy in those days and never grumbled.

Well, many of you voted Blue Labour and guess what - you've got Labour! Don't do it again, enough of this nonsense and vote UKIP.

EUSSR nice touch, see what he did there

Tony BLIAR and his zaNU-LIEbour cronies.

sorry it's not the mail, but the sentiment's the same.
nice that the telegraph had valued the house of joanna yeates' parents and that it was relevant to the ongoing story of their loss.

Vincent Tabak, 32, a Dutch national, who lived next door to Miss Yeates in the Clifton area of Bristol, will appear before the city’s Magistrates Court on Monday charged with murdering the 25-year-old landscape architect.

He was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning following a month long police investigation.

Detectives questioned the former PhD student for three days before announcing he had been charged with her murder on Saturday night.

David and Theresa Yeates yesterday expressed their relief following the latest development in the case and said they want to face Tabak in court when he appears.

Speaking from their £600,000 home in Ampsfield, Hants, Mr Yeates, 63, an IT professional said: "We don't yet know if we will go to Magistrates' Court…but we do want to see Vincent Tabak sometime.

original story

PE is nice...(xpost)

important question: do hovercrafts discriminate against "gays"?

just as important, are gays discriminating against hovercraft transport?

That hovercraft thing is just a load of hot air imo.

anti-gays getting pumped up
