"No rules were broken, thoughts and prayers go out to Daily Mail readers at this difficult time They still have Corbyn. " Yes, good old Jezza, living in their tiny little minds rent free . That reminds me, where are the Boris and Beergate brigade | |||

"Thank goodness we managed to avoid the “chaos under Corbyn” that Boris Johnson warned us about before the last election. " Before that didn’t the Tories warn of chaos under Ed Miliband? Good job the last 12 years have gone so well under the Tories isn’t it...oh! | |||

"Where are they, the Boris is wonderful and will win several elections posse.. Seriously, on here after the brexit result many of us who were opposed to leaving didn't hide.. Surely there's some good news for them to twist and or embellish.. " They will be quiet for a week or two then they will return and claim Boris was a disaster and they thought so from the start and should never have been elected... | |||

"No rules were broken, thoughts and prayers go out to Daily Mail readers at this difficult time " Or… “Another Establishment stitch up as Starmer and Rayner cleared of lockdown booze up.” As claimed by the Mail. | |||

Let's focus on the bigger news. A ridiculous 200k for interior design, a party at chequers, or a meeting with a former kgb agent with no other officials present. That's all come out since he's resigned. Boris knows how to do exciting stuff. | |||

I've noticed a bizarre desperate need to try to make themselves the underdog for certain groups. Sun readers: don't you dare call us thick because we read the Sun! Mail readers: don't you dare call us racist because we read the Mail! Brexiters: don't you dare call us thick and racist because we believe in Brexit! In each case, the commonality is they're simply being lied to by their information source. And instead of being angry they're being lied to, they try to become underdogs so they can get angry at somebody else instead. It's v strange. | |||

It works perfectly well in this instance, the headline in any newspaper is it’s most important page, read that and you don’t need to read the rest | |||

He certainly does face a golden future. Going forward I'm sure he'll take that gold from anybody for anything. Hell, why not blood diamonds too? dirty Russian money? Riches from dictators? He doesn't have any pesky morals to slow him down. And I'm sure in the service of getting v rich he'll happily lie about anything or break any rule or law he doesn't fancy following. | |||

In many cases in life common sense is a vital ingredient in decision making. Haha. Love this. This is some of your finest material! This and the "brexit is a good idea" routine are the funniest. I assume that yet again you are being sarcastic? What part of the comment above do you find comical?" In fairness to those on the left, we on the right are caustic about the Mirror and the Guardian, we don’t trust those papers. Having said that, I wouldn’t condemn their readership, I lack the snobbery needed to do so | |||

"A couple of my friends read the Sun. They are lovely guys & would do anything for you. It’s not my paper of choice but I wouldn’t dare to be so rude as to criticise them for their choice. How rude would that be. They are not right wing fascists or Brexiteers by the way." Unfortunately this is the modern way, we play the man rather than the ball. We attack the messenger rather than the idea being conveyed. I agree that attacking people over the choice of newspaper is wrong, it is prejudiced. I imagine a world where a different opinion or view is unwelcome and a populous that are encouraged to think the same and how awful that would be. | |||

How rude would that be. They are not right wing fascists or Brexiteers by the way." Have they told you why they read the sun? I don’t think anyone is suggesting that all Sun and Mail readers are thick racists, just the ones who believe everything that is written in them . I used to read the Daily Sport , but I can assure you I didn’t believe the stories | |||
"As for their readers being “out working hard” I thought you were more au fait with the demographics of their readership? Work is a distant memory for most lol! . However did you actually read the news as reported in the paper. It simply reported the facts and allowed readers to draw their own conclusion . It never suggested that he should resign, his hypocrisy was simply pointed out. Being vindictive and spiteful are attributes normally associated with the left whereas the Mail simply presents facts. The Daily Fail hasn't been in the business of news and truth for years, it is a Rage Farm, nothing more. It has been even longer since it "simply reported the facts" The only people who cannot see this are the Cattle being farmed. [this has been an opinion] Do you read it? Have you ever eaten dog shit ? Joking aside, I have seen the front page headlines (on Twitter) so I don’t need to read the rest? Aha! As suspected - people that never read the papers in question , dismiss Sun readers as thick, Mail readers as gullible oldies. And they think they are really clever. How odd. . Those who choose to criticise readers of these papers probably never read ot buy the newspapers themselves. They are simply repeating a cliche . In many cases the Daily Mail has articles presenting both sides of an argument. Readers can then form their own opinion or look up facts for further information.

"No rules were broken, thoughts and prayers go out to Daily Mail readers at this difficult time " So with that cleared up and SKS setting out his stance on his intended relations with the EU (no return, no customs union and no single market) are we quite close to a Labour government?. Sounds like they will do ano confidence thing in the commons if Boris does not fully step down. Not sure yet if he favours high tax like Rishi or low tax like some other runner's but at least we are finally getting some details | |||

He has no choice, if he sits on the fence he will get thrashed like Corbyn, he is actually being quite clever, Brexit has been a disaster but we won’t be re joining so he is offering a different approach . | |||

I agree. Becoming Tory-lite may be the only way the press, corporations and billionaires will allow them to be elected, but it's fuck all use in terms of any meaningful change. Just more of the same, if slightly less horrendous, shit. | |||
"As the Durham MP and Police commissioner said, this investigation has been a waste of police time and a politically motivated smear campaign led by the Daily Mail and local Tory MP Peter Holden. Another example of Tory sleaze and corruption" Would that be Durham Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen. The same Joy Allen that Keir Starmer campaigned for during the PCC election, and who was rumoured to be at the 'beergate' event? | |||

But then I suspect a lot of people have said the same thing. | |||
"The facts are a Durham university student stalked the SKS meeting and filmed through the windows while they were breaking for food and then posted it online. Laurence Fox, well known retired actor and lightweight political force then pushed the story on Twitter. Durham police looked into it and found no evidence of wrongdoing. Boris got fined once for numerous party gate law breaking events - the only sitting PM to have ever broken the law btw! Local Tory MP Peter Holden then decides to pursue the matter - his choice or was he prompted by the PM? The Daily Mail devote a week’s front pages to the story and send journolists (sic) to try and buy up any incriminating evidence they can. A dossier is produced that then gets sent to Durham Police with no factual evidence and lots of hearsay. They then have to spend six weeks investigating this smear at some cost to the local taxpayer and conclude that their initial investigation was correct. Meanwhile Boris is forced to resign for yet another catastrophic misjudgment of what the rule of law means. Can you see where this is going? " Shhh, your ruining their conspiracy theory with facts | |||

They wouldn't be ineffective, they would be able to reverse a lot of the harm done by the conservatives. and Likely initiate new policies which actually help people. | |||

How rude would that be. They are not right wing fascists or Brexiteers by the way." I have been catching up with the politics threads. This comment reminds me of someone I know. He is when local , general elections on a canvasser. Yes goes to local party meetings . He asked me a couple of times as we worked at same factory to get him newspaper on way in. He wanted the Sun. I did ask why the Sun as yes Conservative newspaper . He was , still ? a Labour supporter. His reply was . It was the best for horse racing tips , details and who was running. So my comment also is . You cannot judge a person by the paper they buy. Some buy for a specific reason ? | |||
"Where are they, the Boris is wonderful and will win several elections posse.. Seriously, on here after the brexit result many of us who were opposed to leaving didn't hide.. Surely there's some good news for them to twist and or embellish.. " I think it'll be a little while before they're back.

So neither of the main parties are suggesting any closer relationship with the EU though hopefully a more honest one What are Labour offering that the Tories aren't? That bit is still vague to say the least. However before, they were not committing to not trying to reverse brexit or things like the single market. Now they have basically got on the same page as the Tories. What is still vague is that they say they will have better negotiations with the EU but do not say how they will do that and do not say what they will do if they are unsuccessful and can't get change. I have read on some threads on here about reversing brexit . Yet now SKS is saying no reverse and saying at same time to simplify paperwork ? If I am right this means a renegotiation of some regulations , documentation of already agreed negotiated conditions? If my opinion is correct ?.Then would not SKS make things clear by saying a renegotiation is needed ? " I don't think it matters what he says. You can't polish the brexit turd. | |||
"12 years of austerity under a conservative government has left us with what? The highest government debt ever and the highest taxes in 30 years! It’s hardly been a success has it? " It depends how you define success. Sure, normal British people have been thrown under the bus, but they don't give a fuck about that either way. Their goal is to remain in power for their own personal benefit. Handing billions of public money to their donors has bought their loyalty, which will guarantee reelection. So you could argue they've been successful at achieving their aims. | |||
"A couple of my friends read the Sun. They are lovely guys & would do anything for you. It’s not my paper of choice but I wouldn’t dare to be so rude as to criticise them for their choice. How rude would that be. They are not right wing fascists or Brexiteers by the way. I have been catching up with the politics threads. This comment reminds me of someone I know. He is when local , general elections on a canvasser. Yes goes to local party meetings . He asked me a couple of times as we worked at same factory to get him newspaper on way in. He wanted the Sun. I did ask why the Sun as yes Conservative newspaper . He was , still ? a Labour supporter. His reply was . It was the best for horse racing tips , details and who was running. So my comment also is . You cannot judge a person by the paper they buy. Some buy for a specific reason ? " Spot on. | |||

"No rules were broken, thoughts and prayers go out to Daily Mail readers at this difficult time So with that cleared up and SKS setting out his stance on his intended relations with the EU (no return, no customs union and no single market) are we quite close to a Labour government?. Sounds like they will do ano confidence thing in the commons if Boris does not fully step down. Not sure yet if he favours high tax like Rishi or low tax like some other runner's but at least we are finally getting some details SKS pandering to the brexit vote, is what it sounds like to me, and I think he needs to grow a pair, to be taken seriously enough to lead the country. At least it's official and out in the open now. So neither of the main parties are suggesting any closer relationship with the EU though hopefully a more honest one What are Labour offering that the Tories aren't? That bit is still vague to say the least. However before, they were not committing to not trying to reverse brexit or things like the single market.

"In 2014 the Mail published a cartoon likening migrants to rats. Not only is the cartoon racist in its portrayal of Muslims – one man cannot be seen in any other detail other than his beard and a rifle poking out of his bag – but the choice of animal used harks back to Hitler’s Germany in 1939 when cartoons in newspapers often depicted Jews as rats – vermin that had to be got rid of." in that instance it was quite clear that fringe publication, the mail, found it acceptable being derogatory about muslims merely because they exist. | |||

My question, and now quite frankly, the exasperation was aimed at the boring play on words. Some people think it’s clever but it’s been dull for years and now appears rather childish." You should take a look at the history of the Daily Mail pre-WW2. They were supportive of Hitler and Moseley and even after war broke out they were so cavalier with the truth about the likelihood of actual hostilities breaking out that over and above any other media outlet they were responsible for the ultimate shock of of the BEF being routed and the catastrophic evacuations at Dunkirk. Something that i would suggest that the country has still not really come to terms with 80+ years later. The Daily Mail was openly supportive of fascism hence its nickname of Daily Heil. There is a reason for everything. | |||

"they now give certainty as opposed to the lack of clarity on what the conservative and unionist party actually stand for now. in short the tory's have no clear message on any topic at all. " They have got on the same page as the Tories in that they do not seek to rejoin, or go into the customs union or single market. Both Tories and Labour now have this position. I think it's good they have made their position clear and wait to hear from them how they will make it work better | |||

For the Tories, in fairness to them, Brexit is going exactly as they wanted it to. As for Labour, it will be interesting to see if they propose something solid that would tackle the problems caused by brexit, or if they will just bluster. On top of that, it would appear that a lot of people vote for catchy slogans like "get brexit done", which was an extremely effective campaign message. Although completely devoid of any information. | |||

The Daily Heil / Daily Fail is a vile scandal rag masquerading as a serious newspaper. It is an insidious piece of trash and deserves all the ridicule and criticism that gets thrown at it. Sorry if that upsets you Doesn’t upset me at all. I choose not to read it and have no views on it either way. Does make me laugh though that some seemingly intelligent people get so upset by it and feel the need to role out the tired old play on words." Well it makes me chuckle every time. Must have a childish sense of humour so will continue to criticise and name call the Fail/Heil forever | |||
"they now give certainty as opposed to the lack of clarity on what the conservative and unionist party actually stand for now. in short the tory's have no clear message on any topic at all. They have got on the same page as the Tories in that they do not seek to rejoin, or go into the customs union or single market. Both Tories and Labour now have this position. I think it's good they have made their position clear and wait to hear from them how they will make it work better" the torys now have no clear policy on trade with the EU | |||
"Enjoying your posts but I think that’s a bit of a stretch. The Morning Star was the last communist newspaper and it’s circulation was never as high as the Daily Heil among others are The News Line, The New Worker, Weekly Worker, Socialist Appeal ... others are also available. i took my local conservative council to court when they attempted to ban these publications and the court forced the council to provide the newspapers in libraries and other local authority buildings where they provided balance to the right leaning newspapers the council provided. the council attempted to sue me and i was awarded several thousand pounds when the case was tossed out. i was awarded further thousands when their appeal also failed. i have never really been interested in reading these publications owing to my being a firm centrist. My point remains, not one of those is a mainstream media outlet with remotely the circulation and reach of the papers owned by the Daily Mail group. They are niche at best." circulation is unimortant to be fair. there are still a plethora of communist newspapers in print in the UK. | |||

"No rules were broken, thoughts and prayers go out to Daily Mail readers at this difficult time I heard that the cost of energy will be going down as the burning intensity of the rage from the Daily Mail readers can provide enough electricity to last us an entire month. You will probably find that most Daily Mail readers are out working hard and this issue is of no interest to them. Having a beer is hardly exciting news, those who read the mail will have much better things to do with their lives. Oh Mr Hay that was poor. I has higher hopes your silence was because you were writing your next satirical masterpiece. But you weren’t! The Daily Fail had 17 front page stories on beergate. That’s right...17! I think the Daily Heil considered it a big deal. As for their readers being “out working hard” I thought you were more au fait with the demographics of their readership? Work is a distant memory for most lol! . However did you actually read the news as reported in the paper. It simply reported the facts and allowed readers to draw their own conclusion . It never suggested that he should resign, his hypocrisy was simply pointed out. Being vindictive and spiteful are attributes normally associated with the left whereas the Mail simply presents facts.
