The Daily Mail brigade.

lazygal

I used to wonder who read the Daily Mail. A relative of mine had it on their kitchen table and as I don't read the rag I flicked through it for curiosity value. The relative then tapped on the page I was reading and said 'That's the only paper that tells the truth. I get all my news from it, its a real newspaper'. It's actually scary to think there's people out there who not only buy the paper, they form their opinions on it.

Do all Daily Mail readers blame asylum seekers for everything, hate foreigners and think we need a zero tolerance crime policy?

Just to warn you, apparently they don't think much of lazy folks either...

This relative of yours, by any chance are they getting on in years?

Yes, pretty much. But I'm don't know whether the Daily Mail has created those views or confirmed them.

Its actually a really good paper. But my subscription is usually stolen - by the bloody eastern block sociopaths in the neighbourhood. Really winds me up it does - but no point in going to the police about it.:mad:

p.s. We will always love you Diana

Where To

I love the Mail.

It's like that old guy down the pub who always has a story to tell. Sure, most of them are bullsh1t but at least it's entertaining.

tayto lover

Its just as good as the Independent.

The Daily Mail causes cancer.

Pottler

Jonathan Cainers in it = reason why half the readers buy it. The other half are paranoid and full of fear. And don't know Cainer has a free website.

Thwip!

Bull fcukin shít they did lol. Sounds like really shít commercial.

questionmark?

Are you referring to the Daily Mail or the Irish Daily Mail?

If its the daily mail it is keeping in tune with every other paper in the UK in being ****e. I have never found a newspaper in the UK that comes even close to telling the truth/ not being biased/failing to hide who they politically support. You would get more accurate news in After Hours!

baldbear

Hated the Tory Brit mail but have grudgingly given a little respect to some of the Irish mails storys. Recording the quinns in Kiev and there dodgy dealings, reporting the FG politician whinging about surviving on €140 k a year.

Did you read the story about the orphaned kitten getting pushed around in a trolly by its adopted mother? Had me in tears.
I too am guilty of looking at the online crap.

Direct your relative to:

...But then he might nor want to hear some real truths that exposes the main lies, he considers true.

I always buy the mail and read it online all the time, dont see what the problem is unless its trendy to hate it.

DanWall

Idependent €1.90 Irish Examiner €1.90 Irish Daily Mail €1.00. I buy nothing else but why does Dunnes store not stock it?

Kurz

The only people I've come across that buy this regularly are middle-aged/older women. That's not a put-down or anything, that just seems to be their demographic. The paper comes across to me as a bit gossipy and exaggerated, conveniently ignoring some facts sometimes.

Then again, most of the other papers are complete rags that pander to their demographics too so the mail isn't better or worse than them.

Daily Mail: "One in four cannot read"

Nice to see a newspaper finally acknowledging their audience

The paper that put out a story that Amanda Knox was found guilty and put in comments from the prosecutor, described the shock in the courtroom, how Amanda looked stunned and lots more info in descriptive language.

Except she was found not guilty and none of it ever happened :pac:

They do fantastic photos on their website to be fair

Beautiful pics of scenery and animals

Lots of interesting historical stories too

Mad obsession with Hitler though, easily 3 or 4 stories on the Fuhrer every week

The daily mail online is brilliant it can have a story about how global warming is causing all the bad weather and then further down the page have a story about how scientists have discovered that the world is actually getting colder.Its utter rubbish,but I just cant stop reading it.

I love the Mail!

My special favorites are the "Council haven't changed light outside mothers house for 3 months" followed by said mother standing outside by the light with a big frown on her face. Quality

Where To

We have our own version of The Mail here in Donegal.

It gives us exclusives such as

Colleague of mine buys it every week to read what Joe Higgins has to say and then spends the rest of the day moaning about what 'that f***ing communist' said.
Good puzzle pages though

I bought the daily mail today and I have no shame in saying so.

My shoes were wet and I needed something to help dry them out.

A little too expensive for toilet paper for my liking, rough on the rear end too unlike Andrex.

Thankfully Daily Mail readers outnumber Guardian readers by at least a factor of ten.

The Daily Mail online website is on of the world's most popular media sites.

OP: maybe you don't like it's content, but you have to admit that they are doing something right? Also, why does it bother you what other people like to read? Typical left-wing snootiness if you ask me.

People tend to read newspapers that confirm their beliefs, not challenge them. Still, most their readership probably don't even care about the above issues save for the odd whinging session down in the pub

The Daily Mail is madly popular not just because of its politics, it's choc full of fashion, diets, celeb news, TV reviews and gossip and other stuff the wimmins like
Other papers do this but not everyday and not for €1

It's pretty much half their website too

It sells

plus wont it just replace the faeces with ink? that is a poor trade off.
the only use can see for using UK daily mail as bog roll is if streakers use it;the overpowering stench of logic and impartiality being thrown out of the window & replaced with overemotive wording and biases will keep any old fashioned football players up to date on disability benefit claimants being a bunch of frauds/dole claimants spending the tax payers money on private yachts/big tvs/plastic surgery for their wife... as they run the footballer off the pitch.

the UK daily mail is a bit like crossing very old people with a milder form of the BNP.

A tabloid that thinks it's not. Double standards.

A bit like me hehe.. I am an avid subscriber.

This is why I hate the daily mail: in an article entitled "acid attack victim pleads for death" this is their opening line:

"The events of April 22, 2003, are burnt into Sonali Mukherjee's memory, and her face."
