The only person more destructive to democracy in this country over the last few decades is Murdoch. The sooner they both shuffle off the better.

You really do need to emerge from the Turtle Bunker every decade or so. Perhaps then, you would have heard of George Soros.

Re: Daily Mail
In my opinion, the Daily Mail is one of the worst newspapers in circulation. However, there's no doubt Dacre was good at fulfilling it's main aim of spreading fear of minorities and distrust of change. Hopefully the next guy won't be such a regressive berk.

Re: Daily Mail
Right, so you are know arguing that a bloke will receive millions from the EU is more principled because he wants to leave it?
Surely he'd be more principled by NOT APPLYING FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!??!!
If that last tweet was your interview for the job, you've got it mate. You'd be perfect.

But only Hesletine is blatantly attempting to preserve his privilege. Dacre is a turkey voting for xmas. And remember , as a Tory minister, Heseltine, was hostile to any sort of state subsidy to help struggling British industry. But when it comes to state subsidies that he benefits from personally, he's there with a bucket!
Typical Remoaner hypocrisy! Dressed up as some sort of moralistic stance. Gina Miller anyone!?

Edit: One of the biggest frustrations among liberals and the left is that we're the ones trying to protect your interests. Workers' rights being a prime example of something the conservatives in this country are going set fire to, these are rights fought for by the left to protect people like you, and yet you celebrate when you vote for their abolition.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/article ... tions.htmlClarifications and corrections
By MAILONLINE

On April 8 an article was published by MailOnline with a headline stating that a border watchdog report revealed that two-thirds of child refugees coming to Britain were found to be adults. This article was published by the Daily Mail newspaper under a different headline. We are happy to clarify that the two-thirds figure is in reference to the number of juvenile asylum seekers found to be adults after they had been assessed by officials who had doubted the veracity of their claims, and does not relate to the overall number of juvenile asylum seekers. It totals 13.6% of the whole number of child refugees.
This was a lie which a whole host of the usual suspects took as fact.
The Daily Mail is pure poison.

Re: Daily Mail
Whilst of course I’d like to see Ringo given a platform to entertain us all on a more regular basis I don’t think it’s the right time for him to be taking over the Mail.
It looks like David Davis is trying to find a way out of dealing with Brexit. There is only one man I think can save us now...
A bit like Batman, he’s the hero The Mail deserves but not the one it needs right now.

Re: Daily Mail
The new editor is Geordie Greig, current editor of The Mail on Sunday. I wonder how the average ‘Daily Mail reader’ will react to the fact that he’s a staunch ‘remoaner’?
That’s certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons.

If they sense that the Brexit tide is turning then they'll quickly change sides. In that sense it will be very interesting to see what direction the paper takes, since as you correctly point out the Mail on Sunday has been pretty forthright in its anti-brexit agenda. Maybe The Mail will start to position itself more in the centre in order to try to broaden its appeal. Its sales have gone down by about half a million in the past 5 years, though as I'm sure someone will point out, sales of most papers have declined.
Apparently very few people under the age of 35 buy the Mail, so that must be of some concern to them.

Re: Daily Mail
I had a brief look earlier at circulation figures, the Mail has lost nearly a million daily sales since 2010, but it's in line with the fall across the board. I must say I don't understand the appointment of Greig at all though, and thought the new editor would have had to have been a hard line Brexiteer. The Mail for me has always been consistent, even during the height of Blair's appeal it still backed the Tories, probably one of the only papers that did.nil_desperandum wrote:For the Mail - as most tabloids, it's all about selling papers.
