To Think The Daily Mail Cannot Stoop Much Lower

Article in the DM this afternoon 'How to Profit from War'.
It is in the M+ section but the synopsis suggests it is advising readers how to invest money in arms companies in the light of the Russia/Ukraine situation and countries in Europe arming themselves.
The DM is a war-mongering, divisive, fear-raking, capitalist, shameless piece of shit.

I have to laugh at all these anti daily mail tropes . You all despise it yet all read it . It's the highest read paper so get used to it .

If you're on Safari you can read the paywalled articles by clicking the Show Reader icon on the left of the URL bar.

Also you don't see any ads this way so aren't funding the advertisers who would choose something abhorrent like this to make money.

You can read the comments for free though, and encouragingly the vast majority of readers seem to be disgusted by this as well.

Paying to read the DM, yet calling another a Tory 😬

If it's in the M+ section you need to sign up to read it (which i refuse to do). I guess you have signed up 😬

Oh of course! Not just "accidentally" reading the Mail but bloody well PAID to do so!!

What a plonker!😂

Ah- you're a Tory!

That remark is not only puerile but it makes no sense!

Why would criticising the Daily Mail indicate a Tory? Surely a Tory is in favour of it if we want to believe such a tired cliche?

If you're not a Tory how come YOURE reading the Mail then huh?
Did you open their website "by accident"?

OP it’s not really cool to accuse people of being a Tory because they don’t immediately jump to agree with you. Quite pathetic really

Nope, voted labour and I don’t even really get what you mean because I have not clicked your link. Notice you didn’t deny it though

Why share it and give the article more traffic by linking to it? Do you work for them? Clicks are clicks I guess
