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

Not one Wolves player is a wolf

heh @ team games, pre-empting me there

xp

does the "clubs aren't made up of local players" thing in football have any bearing on national teams? maybe countries shd be able to buy in players like clubs do, we cd look forward to Qatar's dominance of the game for the next 30 or 40 years and nobody wd mind them having the World Cup.

I guess when Man City rule over the earth Qatar's dominance will be one step closer.

Always funny when ppl talk about Spanish or Italian or Eng dominance of the Champions League bcz many of those players aren't from these countries. Always been a fairly confused issue, obv with clubs its all due to cash but many people who are good at what they do but for whatever circumstances are prevented from competing and finding out how good they are or can be...don't blame them for taking a shortcut/fudging around to just get to that place.

In cricket Basil D'Oliveira is a classic example.

Didn't really care when Pietersen did it. Can't say it ws a big issue when he came over to play, South Africa didn't want him after all...(or that ws the story). Did care that he was no good at it tho'.

Mail kind of missing their own point by pushing Somali-born Mo Farah, who lives in Oregon, as someone who should be ahead of "plastic Brit" Porter who has an English mother.

Not sure about that picture caption.

Water cannon? Don't they know about the hosepipe ban?

Glad to see SamCam and Michelle have come out as lovers.

Alba i know the mail is being hypocritical here but what is wrong with the actual article?

honestly thats a great article

yes, can't see anything wrong with that..

I was being sarcastic.

(Sonia Poulton always seems to write good stuff)

This story speaks to me:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2124246/There-downsides-looking-pretty-Why-women-hate-beautiful.html

For once, check the 'comments'..

All the 'well said'/supportive type comments have mega-negs, and all the 'bleah, moany cow' ones get mega-pos ratings.

I've been reading about this on twitter all day without reading the actual article. Just...wow. Can we have a response piece from Liz Jones next please before the Daily Mail implodes?

Will Brendan O'Neill do?

Yes, it's "infinitely" worse to call out bullshit than to be a self-regarding, conceited twerp.

Points for a Max Gogarty mention. Ah, I miss that lad.

Haha

I'm eating massive prawns right now

can't put a price on it imo

lovely weather we're having

I mean, it really is. Lovely is an understatement. Does wonders for the blood.

My guess is that a certain person's married girl-friends are being tracked down to see how 'massively insulted' they feel, blah de blah etc...

Ah, the Bisto mum.

Daily Mail - "Vote Le Pen"

jesus fucking christ

and it's at moments like this i recall that the mail backed hitler before ww2

I mean on some level it's grimly funny that the dude considers the fucking neo-fascists to be a lesser evil in than the Euro but at the same time wow.

Or it's professional trolling for hits, not that that's any less vile.

I'm not tempted to add to their total of hits.

On the front of yesterday's edition: "COLDEST MAY IN 100 YEARS." Britain to be blown to bits by blizzards &c. So says Saddo Weather Solutions at NoMates.Com.

Oh it's definitely professional trolling as well.

Not pro trolling other than from the commissioning editor. My girlfriend was at UCD with him and says he's a right-wing cunt.

How much worse than UKIP is the present day FN? Are we talking about BNP levels of nastiness or what?

probably closer to UKIP than BNP? Always on about La France Profonde, a certain amount of blood and soil rhetoric, harking back to Poujadism. I think Marine Le Pen has toned down some of the more overtly nutso stuff her father came up with. A good analogue is perhaps Jorg Haider's brand of populist politics.
