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

p4: We should boycott shops that sell "inappropriate" clothes for children.

I don't find either of those particularly objectionable, although the rest of the list is pretty shitty. DOES THIS MAKE ME A BAD LIBERAL.

p4: IT'S CALLED CAPITALISM YOU WANTED THATCHER YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW GET OVER IT

Why aspire to 19th smiling faced, so-gooding, robber barondon?

This is idiocy, of course, but it comes from an expected source. A rather less expected source is Stephen Malkmus, who, in the current edition of Index magazine, says it's nice to be in Portland rather than New York, then adds "But the west coast has a downside too, like the number of ridiculous leftists..." He then recounts an anecdote of wanting to shove one of said leftists up against a wall. So that's what "Pig Lib" meant!

xxpost

And so say, errrrrrrrrrr, some of us!

I blame the abolition of Old Labour.

Malkmus made snidey comments about "leftists" on "Embassy Row" years back. He's probably worried they'd make him get his haircut and stop mumbling.

Damned if you do, etc etc.

Last week they ran a piece complaining about socialist do-gooders forcing clever private school pupils out of top universities by giving their places to the great unwashed.

And the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that and the week before that

THERE MIGHT BE ONE IN OUR MIDST, DR C.

HI MOMUS.

er, except the two things don't contradict each other? obviously they need to end private education and level the field, unless we're to 'enjoy' the same kind of horrible 'affirmative action' debate (on class as much as race lines) here as they had in the states (obv this probably isn't the mail's view...)

Thatcher = ewwww obv, but A.Hollinghurst's stuff about her in The Line Of Beauty does a good job of making you see her through the eyes of all those slavering Tory MPs.

I didn't think it was possible for any woman dressed head to toe in leather to appear utterly unsexy, but Ms Currie proved me wrong. Put me right off my breakfast, I can tell you.

I'm amazed the council tax story isn't front page.

But I'll bet John had something extra white and creamy on his Weetabix that morning..... urgggggggghhh, did I just say that??!??!

I have been made to feel VERY uncool by certain fashion-industry colleagues for my refusal to snort this shit; when I told my former boss I wasn't keen on putting stuff up my nose generally she said 'just rub it on your gums instead' as if it was not the drug itself I was objecting to.

This is why I'm just so pleased by the whole thing. (I kept trying to tell AMP and Anna this last night when they were all "why are they making such a big deal out of it?")

It's the Philip Larkin syndrome again - you think, blimey, he looked like that and yet he had three women on the go!

Then you look at the women and realise they all looked like him.

many Daily Mail readers. not actual scientists or anything.

So why did Radio 5 wake me up with the words "...which may change the way we look at the creation of the universe via the Big Bang" yesterday morning? (I can't answer this question as I immediately clicked the snooze button, but I'd be surprised if they're giving too much airspace to creationism).

RickyT, if you have any links to recent cosmological updates, do post them!

The Daily Mail is good now!

didn't realise Dacre had gone tbh but fuck the Mail

it's one of David Cameron and Boris Johnson's Eton contemporaries Geordie Greig at the helm now, so you can be sure that a pivot towards socialism will now happen

as if some posh cunt is called Geordie!

affectionate public school nickname because he visited somewhere north of Sandringham once

While Dacre was known for retreating to his Scottish Highlands estate, former Tatler editor Greig prepared for the job by taking a holiday in Zimbabwe, which is being written up for the society magazine by his son Jasper – recently appointed as Tatler’s London editor.
The Old Etonian, who has taken fellow Old Etonian Tobyn Andreae with him to be deputy editor, is happy to be photographed at celebrity parties and mixes in the same circles as the Rothermeres...

Seriously, it's like the last hundred years never happened.

the last hundred years didn't happen for the rich iirc

Hope the cunts go bankrupt

Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost and Baroness Doreen Lawrence have launched a legal action against Associated Newspapers, publishers of The Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and the Mail Online.

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) October 6, 2022

Hamlins LLP said the "unlawful acts alleged to have taken place include:
1) The hiring of private investigators to secretly place listening devices inside people’s cars and homes

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) October 6, 2022

2) The commissioning of individuals to surreptitiously listen into and record people’s live, private telephone calls whilst they were taking place
3) The payment of police officials, with corrupt links to private investigators, for inside, sensitive information

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) October 6, 2022

has Doreen Lawrence ever commented on the Daily Mail's "murderers" front page? Not that it makes a difference either way to these scumbags being scumbags, but I've always thought it very strange how it was the Daily Mail who took the biggest risk around the case.

The Mail became interested when it transpired that Neville Lawrence had worked for the Dacres as a handyman.

A reminder that the Daily Mail was about to do a hit job on the Lawrences then Neville who had done plastering work at editor Paul Dacre’s house rang him up & said it was his son and could he help & Dacre was reminded of their humanity https://t.co/iSSrp8agAR

I didn't know the Mail was about to go after the Lawrence family (not exactly surprising).

I knew about the Dacre connection but imagined they were just ignoring the story, rather than planning a hit-piece
