digging at the Porn Baron that took over the Express, chipped away for months, then suddenly
the Express remind the mail of their postion
regarding Hitler, No more was heard from the Mail on that subject.

Richard Desmond's mucky mag empire!
I have a friend who edits one of those

what ive never understood is their readers, policies and views
you know-like what sort of person reads whats newspaper

i read the daily mail and ive been laughed at because of it-however, i read it because littlejohns rants make me laugh,they do really good features about figures in history etc..they do excerpts from new books which i read and decide if the book is worth buying, they do excellent film reviews which i can understand! the weekend tv mag is great and i like doing the cryptic crossword-in a nutshell, the paper doesnt represent my views, i just like it for the features

so if someone could explain what the other papers 'stand for' i would be grateful :thumb

please bear in mind-im not thick-just not very well educated, never went to school etc..
but i can read and write, im good at quizzes, got a good business head on me-i just dont 'get' certain things
so laymans terms would be great

I agree china, I read the daily mail and I find it on the whole a well balanced newspaper. It certainly doesn't give a biaised view. I like the political commentator - is it Quentin Lettes? - he makes me laugh, such tongue in cheek remarks. I used to read the daily mirror years ago but I had to stop buying it as they were always ranting on.

i dont like that quentin bloke-i saw him on 'have i got news for you' and i thought he was annoying before he opened his cakehole and said anything

he reminded me of a posh schoolboy-the sort that would have hung around with flashman and picked on tom brown

The Mail's wiki page is rather illuminating

I like the 'Guardian' and the 'Observer'. Also take the 'Independent' now and then.

I would not have the 'Daily Mail' in the house, it's even worse than the 'Sun' in my opinion.

I expect that he said. "Yes! Just like the Americans I met with Mr. Hitler, but I was not selling him computer systems!"

add to list anti working women,
single mums,
teenagers with hoods
teenagers without hoods,
anyone that's successful,
anyone that has amassed their own fortune,
yet they tug the foreskins of the Royal Family who have it handed on a plate.

The Daily Mail has never been tardy in dishing it out. People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones and all that.
