Totally agree.

People can read what they like. One would hope they read critically, though, and accept that all the papers write from a particular political standpoint. And that they realise that some newspapers don't allow outright lies from their columnists and others do.

BUT do you object to others making their own choice to read it .... no

Each to their own.

My objection to the Mail is that it continues to employ Littlejohn even though he's been proven to be a liar on many occasions. He makes things up to back up is unpleasantly extreme right wing views. Some people believe him.

They parted ways with Hopkins last year after her extreme views became too much even for them, but they defended her for several months beforehand.

The woman is vile.

Hmmmm

Thanks GR for seeing sense, now everyone can see the really boring and yet it seems to someone offensive start to this thread.....not just whooshed like they hoped.

Depends on whether Lord Rothemere owns them!

What about the rest of the press?

Caroline - :-D Good name!

Ann,
Well, they didn't in 2014 - or should I say, they 'avoided' paying tax up until then - then the wotsit hit the fan.
Strangely, I can't find out whether or not they pay their full tax now, so will err on the side of - no! :-D

I didn’t know it didn’t pay tax Maggie.

Cobblers??

Annin Glos - sorry for calling it the Daily Fail - I do that because it fails to pay proper tax :-(

Starbucks is called something unmentionable for the same reason. and I haven't found an alternative word for Boots - yet! :-D :-D

Okay if that's the case why has" Where did it go" not been reported then?




Edit :-D :-D :-D Naughty naughty not so much censorship as wearing a different hat Allan

In any case it's been the case on here for years, that a thread querying why another thread has been deleted is often reported, simply because it's perceived to be carrying on a dispute when the original thread has gone.

it used to happen a lot.

Okay PM me then !! I would truly love to know what was offensive.....and not just implied on behalf of someone......but they won't because nothing was offensive..... :-)

Posters who have said they've reported someone and why have had their online lives made hell, that's why very few will say so these days.

I wouldn't.

Careful ladies admitting to reading the comic LOL

Here's a thought whomever RR just say on here before it's pulled what was written in the post that broke the rules?

Yes I have JL. It is my lunchtime read.

I am with you 100%, Ann.

Regarding KH, when she was mentioned I had to pause for a split second to think who she was. All I have gleaned from elsewhere is that she blotted her copybook recently and she was a rather combative type.

Have you noticed, Ann, that there's rarely a spelling mistake in the Mail and usually the grammar is spot on too so when a writer slips up it really stands out?

I didn't RR it either, there'd be no point, given its 'follow up' is already on the board....

No one needs to calm down and speaking for myself not a big gin drinker.
IF you didn't RR it Rollo then somebody didn't do you a favour now did they....
