I really don’t think the Daily Mail has an agenda beyond pretending they share the rage of their readership while actually doing their best to cultivate it.

Daily Mail: Filthy right wing propaganda and nothing more. This just confirms what we already know about its readership.

Spoke to some Spaniards today and they were shocked when I told them what the Daily Mail’s circulation is. Apparently even the most right wing Spanish paper (and that’s the Franco nostalgics) doesn’t go as far. Larvely.

Considering that semi-Liberal comments have been deemed unsuitable and filtered out, this is… shocking.

Why aren’t I shocked?

What is more disturbing is that comments on the Daily Hitler site are pre-moderated pretty rigorously for soundness.

Something happened here as when I looked around midday all the ‘kill ‘em all’ comments had large red arrows (100+). Did the BNP flag this?

Nobody should be surprised at the type of sub human scum that read this Tory rag. Two weeks ago this same paper where calling Griffin all sorts of names, but the readership are unable to hide their true colours for long. What I find depressing is not so much the comments themselves, (you may as well be appalled that a two day old puppy has shat on the rug), but this is the paper that our political classes use as a bell weather to measure policy against. This is typical of their readership. Next time you wonder where you stand on any given issue and you cannot decide which side to plump for, look at the comments at the Mail, that will help you decide.

I have at various points of life, been called ‘PC’, Looney Left, Communist, Marxist etc. But I can say that I will gladly welcome those labels as long as it separates me from this filth.

“one down, millions to go”

And here we have all been raking over Europe looking for Nazi sympathisers connected to the Tory Party.
