Daily Mail sends a reporter to a memorial for Ed Milliband's uncle

[Classic Jorge]

f**k me, it's almost as if they had some vendetta against the poor bloke. Imagine what it would be like if anybody seriously thought he had a chance of being elected.

to anyone other than their owner and shareholders.

where the idea comes from.

...anyone other than their owners.

I like the way BP are currently complaining that people are making stuff up when claiming compensation from them over the gulf of mexico oil spill.

been attacking their opponent, right?

One came to GB, fought in the RN in WW2 to uphold our values and became a public intellectual at (I believe) my alma mater.

The other said 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts!'

Hhhhhm. British values.

Still, I suppose they're right cos you can't wipe your arse or wrap your cod 'n' chips in a dead Millipede.

If nothing else, the brass neck is impressive

[Monty91]

is a very effective marketing tool.

[Monty91]

and, as a business, that is all that matters.

Otherwise, they should change their name from 'newspapers' to, I dunno, '****rakers'

[Hillary]

However, that way madness lies.

[Classic Jorge]

thing though.

It takes a fair old lack of self-awareness, or possibly a cast brass neck, to overlook it and attack someone for "hating britain" based on one diary entry from a 16 year old.

Tim Montgomerie, who now runs The Times Opinion pages (where Finklestein. D., writes, and formely Gove, M.,) gave a mealey-mouthed apology.

Basically, every time the Mail spouts off, the reply shout just be "Exactly. Hurrah for the Black-shirts."

And leave it at that.

the fear of the PCC or public damnation that curbs their behaviour (they may lose readers short term, but I'm sure they soon regain them, plus they also benefit from the morally indignant masses who pile onto their website boosting their traffic whenever there is a sniff of a contentious story), but instead the tiny fraction of human decency contained within the warped soul of its owners.

This is already as bad as it gets. And let's not kid ourselves. Everyone is on the gravytrain. Newsnight and the rest of the media gets an entire week of story out of it, and the non-mail reading public get their frisson of moral outrage.

[Monty91]

once - many years ago when none of its incumbants were at the paper - adopted an editorial line in praise of the blackshirts?

That's silly.

[Classic Jorge]

...because the father of the man who now runs the mail was an active supporter of a man who actually did hate britain.

You cant see the hypocrisy there?

[Monty91]

hypocrisy - nay, if they weren't actively seeking such an accusation - they would have run that story?

They may be morally bankrupt scum, but they are FAR from stupid.

[Classic Jorge]

And, not that I would ordinarily say they were stupid, this does seem like an incredibly stupid move.

My favourite of theirs is the sidebar on their website which is just totally indicative of the culture their print edition spends all of its time wringing their hands about.
