It is funny. . I grew up reading it just because my folks did. I've long since realised it's a vial of hatred and sensationalism, that likes to poke society's sores with a dirty stick. I think the insult means that you are narrow minded, right wing and probably everything ist/phobic. Oh and that everything you say is a lie . Pretty general as insults go. . But it makes me chuckle. Also see. . Guardian reader . . Indignant, pompous and holier that thou . Heh |

I don't read the Mail but often read the comments section at the bottom of articles on the online version as it's pretty much comedy gold.
So much rage, hatred and indignation. It makes me feel alive. |

It's a classic cop out statement and an assumption and as they say assumption is the mother of all fuck ups.
I don't read papers but I do watch several news channels, I try to listen to facts and tune out opinion.
I sometimes watch conspiracy videos just to get another opinion and I have watched aljazerah just to see what's being said there.
Sometimes I have been sucked into the propaganda on certain issues but I hope for the most part I'm reasonably informed on the things I comment on. |

Had an aunt who used to boast she bought it every day, and sometimes managed to do the crossword, she asked me "which paper to you buy"
I replied "I take The telegraph and I always finish the crossword, in fact I have won the prize for the Saturday crossword more than once"
Her face was a picture!  |

I must admit throwing the Daily Mail insult in occasionally. I did earlier today, in fact. The average Daily Mail reader, to my mind, reads that right wing bile and actually believes it! Sanctimonious, self satisfied, smug and..... What's another apt adjective beginning with S?? Matt |

Didy ou know if they read the paper or just use the oft thrown insult to justify yourself or belittle them?, asking out of curiousity, nothing else. |

To try to highlight how they are, to my mind, guilty of little Englander type thinking. Hasten to add I don't throw it directly at people but use it more indirectly, if that makes sense |

I prefer the Express myself, but have occasionally taken the Mail when the canteen runs out of Expresses...it doesn't mean I take everything in the paper as gospel cos I'm really quite intelligent for a Tory...Rightio, just popping out to beat shit out of a few Poles and Bulgarians for coming over here and receiving £123,000,000 each in benefits every week - anyone fancy joining me? |

Yes I think that answered my question well enough.

ha yeah!!! The people commenting always seem to be bitching about the Mail writers for crap spelling/ typo's/ shit research. It's really funny.
Doesn't matter what paper people read. Do people really believe what they read.... that's the question..... |

Sadly a lot do. Not just the Mail either. Remember how the election in 1992 was influenced by the Sun headline "Will the last person out of Britain turn off the lights" when Kinnock was tipped to defeat Major? The power of the press is not to be underestimated |

More the question is - do they read the thread as was written, or with their bias on the thread content & therefore have issue with a poster and wish to extend an insult, without justifying themeslves, just throw in the old "Daily Mail" insult and expect that to be the definitive and end all insult ? |

What does 'right wing' mean?"
Politically right wing - sometimes mirroring Conservative policy, sometimes UKIP |

I did when I was 16, then in 30's the Telegraph, none now, just do the Telegraph crossword ( a friend brings me his crossword cut out) to piss off an aunt, I send her them completed when she bugs me for answers to her Mail crosswords, with instructions on how to dissect then complete cryptic crosswords.
Can't understand how she achieved her job level to be honest, she can't even do a general knowledge crossword
Sorry I do like to patronise her as when I went home to Scotland once she told me in a large family gathering "don't try to talk posh here as we will thing you are a turncoat snob who's become a Sassenach!"
I didn't bother to explain that in my job I had to speak clearly and be readily understood from people from all over the world |

It seems to me the 3 put downs that always happen on here are
Being a Daily Mail reader
Being a Sun reader
Being a Nazi
All 3 are usually used by Leftie/Liberals who are losing an argument. And get stated in CAPITAL LETTERS WITH LOTS OF EXCLAIMATION MARKS TO PROVE A POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Leftie/Liberals sometimes read newspapers, usually the politically correct Guardian and the Guardian print some crap from time to time aswel. |

Is it a put down? I always thought it was a compliment. 
I read the Daily Mail on t'internet. I used to read The Sun online but now you have to pay and I can't figure out how to shove my pound coins in the USB hole thing so I had to switch to summat else. Daily Mail site has pictures. |

I've generally found the description to be pretty spot on, in the way that generalisations can be, from others who are astute observers.
Could be hit and miss if used by someone who lacks precision social observation skills.
It's fab, no one expects scientific journal publication standard rigor. But there are some highly talented folk at work in the forums. |
