I found out to my disgust that my dad sometimes reads the Mail. He bought a copy last Sunday while we were flying out on holiday. Naturally I glanced over at the headlines on various pages. It was even worse than I thought. An entire “Democracy in Meltdown” section with page after page of sensationalist, far right extremist tripe.

I felt genuine anger watching my dad - a man I often disagree with but who I have always respected as an intelligent fellow - read this garbage cover to cover without so much as a raised eyebrow.

Could we get rid of the Mail at the same time please?
No chance. Far too powerful a weapon for the right.
I was listening to John Humphries talking about how peoples views are polarised because they only take the news from those providers whose views they agree with.
He urges everybody to read an 'independent' newspaper so as to get an unbiased input.

Ok I thought, sounds interesting...

He was then asked which paper he reads.
Oh he says, I always read the Daily Mail every morning !!!!

How very independent and unbiased....

It’s not actually bad advice though.

It's sheer laziness of thought to blame immigrant people (leaving aside the obvious xenophobia and lack of empathy).

Bask in the glow of England being admired for its beauty and history. Er, nope.



I love the attempted link between immigration and failing services. As if it's a direct cause.

To paraphrase Steve Carell at the end of the Big Short when he's asked if the financial crash means the big banks will be broken up; "it won't happen, they'll get away with it by doing what they always do. Blaming immigrants and poor people".

And to quote Frankie Boyle; "It was the fecking banks! You saw them doing it! It was the fecking banks!"

Disgusting, they should be made to donate to the CF charity and make a public apology to the boy and anyone affected by the disease.
Wankers. Though Corbyn can't exactly claim any high ground in this. He only became interested with the campaign when it was reaching his conclusion. Never any mention of the numerous letters and emails he ignored over the past 4 years. He's not particularly well thought of within the CF community.

They've installed a pop-up forcing you to disable your add-blocker.

Hopefully that'll lose them loads of readership.
