The Daily Mail


????

Recommended Posts

...doncha just love it


Only paper brave enough to call Steven Lawrence's accused "Murderers" (opening up a potential million pound plus lawsuit) all those years back and now hopefully going to be vindicated......



...Good old libs at the Guardian really stuck it to those racist scumbags....er, not

It's back in the news Huguenot - 2 of them look set to face trial


Why ???? says only the mail had the bottle and then has a pop at just the Guardian, only he can answer


At the time, I remember reading this and thought it was about right..


I fear ???? may actually drive himself nuts (or become Melanie Philips) if he doesn't calm down

As any fule no, Quids is already certifiable ;-)


"More serious, the paper carried out little investigation of its own nor unearthed any significant new facts. Its indictment was based largely on police belief. But the police are not always right. That is the purpose of a trial: to ensure the prosecution's evidence is fully tested."


And just to pop one on the Mail...


"Cynics can point to a very belated conversion by the Mail. Until yesterday, the Mail's coverage of the shameful killing had been somewhat peripheral. The murder was only mentioned in three stories in the last year before the inquest, only six the previous year, and just 20 since the murder was committed."


That having been said, I do sincerely hope they nail the bastards.

From what I remember The Mail were lacklustre about the case, criticised the Lawrence campaign - and only decided to get their cocks out for a swingathon when they realised it might help them sell a few more rags.

The Mail is up there with McDonalds - yes its shit and their product is vile, but its an easy target for the lazy MoR liberal chattering classes who have a copy of No Logo on their bookshelves.shit products IMO but they have a popular following that irks the bodenfaced Bourgeoisie. lazy and uninspired sneering from the selfish cod left pretenders. innit.

I'm never quite sure that huncamunca knows who his target is.


For instance the discussion of the Hastings and Whitstable blow-ins talks about them as Guardianistas - but aspirational middle classes read the Mail in Hastings, not the Guardian.


Likewise the social climbing self-righteous gossips he describes are best characterised by Hyacinth Bucket, a notorious Mail reader.


Similarly huncamunca talks about a social set that are 'bodenfaced' - perfectly clear that this is a set for whom brands are a badge of honour - but then claims that they have 'No Logo' on their shelf as if were elevated to biblical status. This is a contradiction.


It's inconsistent.


I didn't really see any problem with No Logo. It was just kind of stating the obious and was a bit preachy. Nothing to get excited about.

I'll take your word for it Quids.


But I'll be honest and say that I don't know what a right-on guardianista is? I've heard your and hunca's characterisation of it, but I've never met someone who matches the description.


It certainly doesn't seem to match anyone I know who reads the Guardian.


The closest I can get was the more militant female side of the labour group at university - but they all grew out of it when they wanted to buy a house.

The Daily Heil is a risible rag (as occasionally is the Farringdon Bogroll). I heard Dacre drove this campaign because Neville Lawrence (the father) was his decorator. That might be apocryphal, but I have a vague recollection.

You don't need real examples when conjuring up the 'other' a bogeyman to attract the focus of the baseless fears and prejudices of those you want to appeal to with one's demagoguery, whether it be the corrupt west, the sharia hungry muslims, pinko guardianistas, racist mail readers, or dare I say, scheming jews.


Oops I've just snorkied this debate by invoking snorky's law.


Ironic how much certain posters go on about tiresome drones isn't it.

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
