When I go see my parents, I delete the daily mail website from their tablet browser and stick the guardian on instead. It's never mentioned.

It's that right wing that I'm reticent to polish our panzerkampfwagen with it

I am not sure it is that good.

Thing is, it used to be okay, then they paid Peter Sutcliffe for his story and it has been downhill since.

Could have fooled me. I can't find any publication now that doesn't glorify the commie tendency, including the Mail. The majority of their editors / journalists are uneducated bigots and hate free speech, but that equally applies to commie rags like the Guardian who wouldn't publish the truth if it lit up a neon sign in front of them.

Yes, we've met, I do regularly delete aforementioned site, from my father's tablet, honest.

Katie Hopkins is the first name which jumps to mind.

I told my dad's neighbour not to save their Daily Heil for him for the crossword as it was upsetting him, making him angry and bitter. I explained to him that it was all carp designed to make you that way. We fact checked a couple of stories to prove it was grade A weapons grade BS. He was much happier man after that.

The Daily hate Mail and GBeebies, both full of ugly people, ugly on the inside.

Sounds like an opinion based on what the Daily Heil has told you.

If you replace the word "crash" with "minor shunting incident" you'll get a far more accurate yet far less sensationalist idea of what actually happened.

just remember that steam locomotives are unexploded bombs, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that if the boiler exploded.

Indeed. We worry about social media influences on our children but the adult targeted press is no different. I'm sure I was happier when I bought The Times everyday as in the real, tactile newspaper. Then I became unhappy at the price and stopped buying it.

Couldn't even use the 'papers' as bog paper years ago as the ink came off.

Is that where the term "black hole" comes from?
