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

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.

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.

I mean so far so British tabloid but genuinely poisonous and awful rag, does it ever produce anything newsworthy?

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

They were also exposed during Depp v Heard for meeting with Depp, his lawyer (who was booted off the case for leaking evidence) and publishing selectively edited audio to sway public opinion, but nobody cared about that.

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).

xyzzzz__, Friday, 7 October 2022 09:23 (one year ago) link

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