Hate Hour - Today's target; the Daily Mail

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Attention everyone, face your visi screens and get ready to sharpen your hatred for class enemies of every stripe...my mp3 player's dead, I need something to do..

Anyways, today the target is the Daily Mail. We shall begin with the colourful article available here -

Too tired and pissed off to write anything other than a lot of expletives in respect of said article and said 'newspaper' so I open the floor to others.

(Fun how the Mail writes this kind of Thatcher worship piece right after the Hillsborough report findings...timing is everything)

you know what's interesting though? it's possible to browse the daily mail website for hours without reading any (explicitly) political piece; their website and their print publication are two different things, with their website aiming primarily for an american readership.

i didn't even know that 'right minds' section existed, and i browse the mail website daily to see pictures of cute animals and ridiculous stories about celebrities. seriously, it's one of the first things i do when i get online.

I'm not a resident of the UK, but I've known about the Daily Mail for some time. Definitely longer than I've known about other British publications, like The Guardian, say. Someone linked me to a story of theirs online some years back and I just remember thinking, jesus christ fuck this is a reactionary publication!

I read it in print form once, on a British airways flight which they were giving it away for free on. It had some moronic populist headline about how the EU was "corrupting British justice" or something.

i didn't even know that 'right minds' section existed,
I remember it cos I think it's where they posted the article encouraging people in France to vote for Le Pen in the last Presidential election... which I think they swiftly withdrew.

Arguing in DM comments, sounds like a good idea.:rolleyes:

Damn that website is unattractive and tacky.
