To Think The Daily Mail Cannot Stoop Much Lower

Because they don’t have anything better to do.

So why are you even reading the synopsis if you hate the paper . To make yourself appear more interesting or do you just trawl through looking for something to feign your leftist indignation .

You forget OP, this article for for DM readers. Plenty of them will be rubbing their hands in glee thinking about the money they might make from a good old war.

How can the purpose of bringing up arms dealers in a thread about investing in the armed forces be anything other than an attempt to put a negative spin on an article just because it was in the DM? In fact this whole thread is just an anti-dm, anti capitalist rant.

I never knew that! Does it work for other paywalls?

Ah- you're a Tory!

This is such a knee jerk response on here it doesn't even fit with the post you're using it for

I don't read the dm, but I do know that it has covered stories that other, more saintly, outlets (like the Guardian and the bbc) won't touch.
A friend of mine was the whistle blower on the scandal of misuse of money in Foreign Aid. Literally no other media outlet would run with the story. But the DM did.
Also, Gender issues. It's only Right Wing outlets like the DM that report it accurately.

Pathetic

I stated simple facts without giving any opinion.
How did you infer my opinion on the issue in order to decide I need to "wake up and smell the coffee" or was that a general comment not aimed at me specifically?

Buying shares in arms is a no trainer from an investment point of view.
There are ethical concerns of course...but the arguement goes you re investing in peace, as in Putin won't attack us if he thinks he won't get away with it.

What a very weird conclusion from PP’s comment - I’d think the opposite!

Yes, war is expensive. But sadly sometimes inevitable so the UK needs to be prepared and invest enough into its armed forces. The future of everyone in this country depends on it. Would you rather we didn’t and just hope for the best? Wake up and smell the coffeee.

Exactly - Russia is outpacing Europe and the US combined in military manufacturing. It's all very well to say war is bad, but surely having no defence is worse.

War is big business.
It's only that most people don't know it.
Thr UK is one of the world's biggest arms dealers.

Why would anyone be surprised that the 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts' Daily Mail would print something awful about making a profit from war?

It's a fair point.

You prefer Chinese and Russian arms manufacturers to have better shareholder funding and more resource's to invest in weapons than defence manufacturers in democracies?

Mad.

If we want democracies to defend themselves then they need arms industries. That's reality.

Surely any one with any sense will look into this seriously.
Europe including the UK has left itself extremely vulnerable by sending so much military equipment to the Ukraine. If Europe want any future security they'll need to massively ramp up their military manufacturing. You dont think Russia isn't restocking? This money will have to come out of the economy somewhere so why wouldn't sensible people look to invest. Not investing isn't going to stop it happening but will give you more to whine about in the future when other people who did plan ahead are doing better than you. Hopefully your righteousness will keep you warm.

Nobody is so innocent as to believe people don't profit from war. Many people do, not just the arms manufacturers, etc.
And the faux-outrage at the DM is risable. Another poster who clearly pays for it, then has a fit of the vapours because it's written something 'outrageous'.

The article is absolutely one of the lowest things I’ve ever seen on there. Profiteering out if other people’s misery. The kind of people who kept a black market going in WW2.

Same here!! All the ‘sorry for the Daily Fail’ link’ 😂😂 I read it along with all the other news every morning on my phone! 🤷🏼‍♀️

There is no bottom for the Daily Mail (and no, I genuinely don't read it, but the headlines go viral enough)
