Daily Mail

He’s clearly trolling now. Saying you buy the excess for the crosswords is like saying "I’m not political but…” then going on to defend the Tories latest tale of corruption and impropriety

What world do you live in , where every thing you write is mean and vindictive exactly the traits you complain about in the Mail.
 
Used to read the Mail on Sunday late 90s about the same time Blair came to power.

None of this extreme political sh*t, load of good news / articles and was a decent read.

Did start to go down the sh*tter early 00s just became a very bland read, aimed most definitely at the older middle classes.

Then quite what happened....... assume the Tories came into power in 2010 and it got sucked right up their ar*e, became a client newspaper.

The Times and Sunday Times subscription - they're always doing introductory offers - free for 6 months etc.

Just before the end of the 6 months, cancel the subscription, say you can't afford the full price and they'll give you another offer - I've been paying £2.60 a month (yes, that's £31.20 / year if you want to be a pedant) for the last 6 months. Either that, or go through with the cancellation and wait a week or so for the next introductory offer

The Daily Mail has history though. It supported Oswald Mosely and the Blackshirt Fascist Party in the 1930s and very much held extreme right wing sympathies

Think he's talking about the MoS rather than the Daily Mail, which although technically the same paper had a different editor and a noticeably different tone at one point.

I assume this is true. Even my father, who was a staunch socialist, read the MoS from time time so it most have been reasonably acceptable

I can’t recall the MoS having a different view to its sister paper to be honest but one things for sure it’s as Tory as its counterpart now.

Like I said, it was in the early years of Blair's tenure. Definitely wasn't like it is today, not a chance I would have bought it if it was.

Was a lot more journalism based rather than right wing gutter hacks.
