The Daily Mail

[Damo]

I would of thought getting the people who murdered Stephen Lawrence convicted would of been a good thing.
Even if it was in exchange for a few people to vote for the daily mail who traditionally wouldnt

[martin_p]

The Daily Mail once ran a campaign to get the killers of Stephen Lawrence convicted.

I think that was simply a cynical attempt to win the black vote. Thankfully it didn't work.

Having watched the recent documentary it seems to be because Stephen Lawrence’s father had done some work (either building or decorating) for Paul Dacre and he thought him a ‘decent chap’.

[Chobulous]

Historically black people tend to vote labour and I think it was a cynical attempt by the Mail to reach out beyond their core readership who tend to vote for the Conservative party. Why else would the paper want to run a crusade for Stephen Lawrence when it spends most of the time demonising immigrants?

Whatever it faults (and there are many) the fact is that the Mail ran a relentless campaign to bring the perpetrators to justice when no other news outlet was interested. That campaign continued for years and had a profound effect on exposing racism throughout the Metropolitan Police and society as a whole. I think your contribution to this thread says more about your own prejudices than those of the people who produce the Daily Mail.

Funny how when the Daily Mail ran this headline that was praiseworthy, and when I said it about the murder in Oswaldtwistle then that was wrong

Don't get this thread deleted too ffs

[UpTheBeehole]

Who is Claretonthecoast1882?

Which banned user is it?

Come on, own up!

[Lancasterclaret]

You can't fault the Daily mail for its stephen Lawrence campaign.

It would be interesting to see if it did the same now though if we are being perfectly honest.

[Damo]

Well this died on its arse as soon as someone mentioned some good it did

The only thing that is surprising about that is that anyone gave a flying **** about what you had to say

[Lancasterclaret]

Anything other than a good sports section and the Stephen Lawrence investigation that the Mail has got going for it?

Does it do those cheap holidays if you collect a weeks worth of vouchers? Stuff like that?

[upanatem]

The DM Saturday TV Guide is brilliant, and as you say, it has an excellent sports section.

I don't read it so I couldn't tell you.
You are probably best off asking a liberal to be honest

[Vino blanco]

I never buy a newspaper but quite often read the freebies in the bars here in Spain. To be fair to the Mail, they have been campaigning for years about the dumping of plastic material in the world's oceans, as well as their Stephen Lawrence campaign.

[UpTheBeehole]

Everyone's been campaigning against plastic waste in the sea for years, all the Daily Mail do is claim it is their campaign and claim credit they're not due.

They did it with the plastic bag charge too.

They're shameless opportunists.

[Vino blanco]

I gather you don't like Mail then, bum hole? Must be great being a self opinionated leftie all the time.

[Damo]

And it was a mail campaign that brought about the carrier bag charge in supermarkets. Seems they care about environmental issues

Steady on if you say something he doesn't like or show examples of him being a hypocrite the weed runs to the mods asking for things to be deleted, little cry arse likes to give it but struggles being on the end of it.

[UpTheBeehole]

The Daily Mail's plastic campaign followed the UN Environment's campaign.

They're piggybacking on it and trying to claim credit.

Credit you gullible cretins are giving them.

[UpTheBeehole]

Which banned user are you claretonthecoast1882?

[Vino blanco]

Tut tut, bum hole, there's no need to get personal and starting calling people, you have never met, unwarranted names. So why don't you just f.ck off, you pseudo intellectual, annoying, left wing piece of sh.t!!

So the mail campaign inspired the UN campaign?
Well done Daily Mail. It's just a shame the United Nations needed a right wing paper to show them the way

Wrong way round bellwhiff. Can't you read?

[claretonthecoast1882]

Does calling people names on the internet make you feel brave ?

[UpTheBeehole]

Does registering a new username because you got banned make you feel brave?

[claretonthecoast1882]

You joined in April 2017 - who were you between January 2016 and then ?

[UpTheBeehole]

Not on Up The Clarets.

Where were you until a fortnight ago (yet still knowing everything which went on before this!)

[Damo]

Wrong way round bellwhiff. Can't you read?

Yes. I read this
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... waste.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There's even a picture of the UN Environment Programme head Erik Solheim, waving around a copy of the Daily Mail

[claretonthecoast1882]

Maybe your reputation precedes you, you are quite popular away from this board, for all the wrong reasons

[UpTheBeehole]

Yes. I read this

That article is dated 5 December 2017 and contains the words "The Daily Mail launched the campaign on Saturday"

The UN campaign started in February 2017

[Damo]

I wouldn't rise to him.
Everytime he is made to look stupid, he just tries to get the thread deleted by posting slanderous remarks or threatens to knock out half of the country

[UpTheBeehole]

Just because I've proven you wrong Damo?

Diddums!

[UpTheBeehole]

What is it Ringo says Damo?

Hoist by your own petard?

[Damo]

All you have proven, is that you care more about your hatred fro a newspaper than you do about the environment and the conviction of Stephen Lawrence's racist murderers.
You are typical of the modern left.
Hypocrite

[UpTheBeehole]

You've proven you don't know how dates/times/calendars work.

December 2017 is AFTER February 2017.

[Lancasterclaret]

So apart from a good sports section, the stephen lawrence case, campaigning for plastic free oceans (giving them that one, or this gag doesn't work) what has the Daily mail ever done for us?

[UpTheBeehole]

And I've proved that the Daily Mail piggybacks onto existing campaigns and claims them as their success story.

Shameless opportunists.
