To ban all links to the Daily Mail on this site

[TheresaLeafy]

And to request that MNHQ do not sell any threads/allow threads to be printed any more in the Daily Mail.

The Angela Rayner article is disgusting, shameful and an insult to every woman. The Daily Mail has no place on this site.

Won’t link the article for obvious reasons. And, please, no one link it either. If you don’t know what it is, then please google it.

I often wonder how so many DM haters seem to have chapter and verse on what's on the DM site, such hypocrites!

Oh, 'be kind' to the OP, hairshirts can be very itchy and uncomfortable.

This. I bought a paper copy of the Mail for the first time in years recently because it featured the Sex Matters campaign.

I don’t see the Guardian doing that.

There's no doubt the Daily Mail and MoS are complete and utter jokes of "newspapers" these days, so unreliable that even Wikipedia has banned them from being used as a source.

But there's a reason they are still in business. There's a big enough demand for the dross they publish to merit it's continuation, and until such times as people lose interest in inaccurate (and often deliberately misleading) reporting, baseless opinion pieces on the latest hot topic, and wall-to-wall coverage of what the royals are up to it will unfortunately continue to exist.

Don’t know how some on here able to sit down with the sticks up their arse. If you don’t like the Mail don’t read it but don’t patronise people who do. You just sound like a twat.

And it's fine for them to read them, as they are smart enough to be able to distinguish between true/false and respectful/nasty media sources - but all the rest of us adults are far too stupid to be able to do that, so we need to have the source materials completely hidden from our view, shameful thickies without opposable thumbs and inability to use rudimentary tools as we all are, as though we're toddlers reaching for a lit gas hob.

I honestly imagine in my naivety that only uneducated morons gave it a second glance.

My God op... get a grip

I've not read 6 pages BUT Mumsnet own the copyrights to anything on this site.
It seems to be a reciprocal agreement with the Mail.
That is what I have understood but may be wrong.

The Mail can lift threads and MN gets a mention= good for their business model and the companies who pay for adverts on the site.

It's worth reading the tiny T&Cs of this site.

Anything you post becomes the copyright of Mumsnet. They can do with it what they wish. It's no longer yours once it's on the site.

Can't be arsed reading this thread but surely you are only directing traffic to the DM by posting it @TheresaLeafy ?

But TheresaLeafy, the Speaker of the House is there to keep order in the House and has no authority whatsoever over the media and no right to "summon" David Dillon anywhere. This is trying to stop freedom of speech via the backdoor by someone with no authority to do so, trying to curb what the Main Stream Media put out there (and obviously David Dillon politely told him thanks but no thanks. I also take the stance that it has now been proved (and I have seen the pod cast) that Angela Raynor was laughing and joking about this subject at the beginning of the year with members of her staff, so not someone who is "outraged" me things. However, everyone is entitled to their opinion, as are you and I, but banning something just because we don't like it is the same as the burning of books (we just re-write them now - far more civilised 🙄) and we all know how wrong that was

Exactly this.

YABVU. You don't get to tell people what to read - and what not to read. We live in a democracy, and it's a free country. And no-one has a right to call people nasty names for reading the Daily Mail either. Some people are far more bigoted than the people they accuse of being bigoted!
