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

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!

anyone know anything about astrophysics? i have a question about the universe

(Even if scientists manage to completely disprove the Big Bang, that doesn't make Creationism any more likely or even possible.)

Ruggish!

You owe me a new keyboard. I sneezed coffee all over my current one when I read this...

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
