Just asking...
not me though (adds hastily).

I read it sometimes online because it makes me laugh. It is highly addictive though! And I am thoroughly ashamed of my self.... Blush.

I used to read it online until Lucy Meadows' death, now I wouldn't if you paid me. Heartless bastards and bigots.

rufussmum · 08/05/2013 19:59

Bit depressing that so many people do read it then. One of the highest circulation figures so there are a lot of bastards/bigots out there.

Does looking at the sleb pics count?

rufussmum · 08/05/2013 20:10

Sleb pics, 'jobless mothers of five' and Kate Middleton's bump are totally newsworthy imo and much more interesting than all that nasty news/politics stuff.

That paper makes me all stabby so I cannot read it. Even the links people put on here I won't visit as I can't allow myself to give them the traffic.

Hate hate hate that piece of utter shite rag.

Faxthatpam · 08/05/2013 20:17

Just googled Lucy Meadows and am horrified. This is the dark side which makes me ashamed to admit to reading the sleb nonsense. Will actually rethink my shameful habit now.... [slinks off under a stone].

They attempt 'science articles' and even Daily Mail readers comment stuff like 'what a load of ignorant bollocks'.

juniper9 · 08/05/2013 20:55

science

LineRunner · 08/05/2013 20:58

Yes, in the Daily Mail, aspirin both causes and prevents cancer. Nice one.

No, complete 100% tossers/wanker>shiteheads.(imo)

'Just asking, not me though'.

The lady doth protest too much.

rufussmum · 08/05/2013 21:16

Innocent until proven guilty.

Nelly000 · 08/05/2013 21:17

I read it.

I'm not a bastard or a bigot.

HollyBerryBush · 08/05/2013 21:18

I love it that no one will admit to it!

I think the DM is MN posters guilty pleasure.

IvorHughJarse · 08/05/2013 21:23

Op - are you actually mum to a Rufus?

Yawn4theday · 08/05/2013 21:25

A secret shame.

Should it be top shelf, brown paper cover.

rufussmum · 08/05/2013 21:26

Labelling people as bigots because they choose to read a certain newspaper is, well.....bigotted. Let's have an 'I'm out and I'm proud' thread. Not that I am, of course.

Ivor. Why do you want to know?

I read it and actually buy it on Saturday. It's got great articles and I love the mag with it. I buy and read the sun as well.

hiddenhome · 08/05/2013 21:34

MIL reads it and she used to give it to me to line the chicken coop. I often used to sit and read it whilst cleaning out the chickens. She also saves articles for me and dh to read.

Great Comic, I do buy it occasionally for the royal stories. The paper I can't bear above all others is the Right On Guardian.

IvorHughJarse · 08/05/2013 21:53

I have a Rufus, I am wildly excited that there may be another one with such fabulous taste in names!

Sorry for off-topicness. I don't read the DM though I have been known to peruse the sidebar of shame in my lunch hour...

Chipstick10 · 08/05/2013 21:53

Yy to the guardian. It brings me out in hives.
