A little history on ‘The Busy Man’s Daily Newspaper’, and its founder, Alfred Harmsworth.
The Mail’s ultra-bombastic, fatuous “front-line” reporter, William Beach Thomas, was one of the men most disliked by the soldiers at the front.
Today’s Daily Mail front page;
Sausages can give you cancer! That’s if you haven’t already got it off your 10 year old’s mobile phone. Standard variation on the Daily Mail “ooh, isn’t it terrible, these days you can’t trust anything” story.
Blair doesn’t know how many asylum seekers he’s let flood into the country! Standard Daily Mail Labour-bashing and “evil foreigners are taking over the country, want to live next door to you and sleep with your daughter” story.
My parents buy the Daily Mail )which always slightly confused me because my mum makes Gerry Adams look like a wussy Brit loving Paisley hugger…then again my aunt, her sister, did always buy me Battle comic when I was growing up…hmmm…anyway I digress) and I buy The Guardian. I’m afraid to leave them lying on the same table in case they come into contact and annihilate the entire north coast in a massive matter/anti-matter reaction.
