I'm so embarassed I've had to change my name

[sagacious]

And now I don't know what to write

Its about dh

He wants to me hide it

To ignore it but I can't
People will find out

oh dear. lighten up curlywurly - noone is having a go at you are they? personally?

My ex mom in law used to and probably still reads it. It must have really pissed off that her son married a foreigner and I guess she was delighted when we divorced.

People should really think about what they read. At a friends house the other day (a NOTW reader) he was going on to my DH about the fact that 1 in 3 children in the UK are born to foreign moms. I felt like shouting HELLO I'M RIGHT HERE, 8 MONTHS BLOODY PREGNANT AND AM A FOREGINER. I pay my taxes, have worked and contributed in this country and have the right to raise my child here. It amazes me how people just regurgitate what they read like zombies.

Rosa's dp is DM journo!

Not a STAFF journo OBM. A humble freelance merely. And he does write for the Guardian too. Unfortunately they don't pay as well.

though obviously not to that degree.

OBM, such badges are already available- DP has one, says 'hated by the Daily Mail' am quite jealous, would have liked one myself, but can't BOTH wear one, so gave one to my colleague- she has a truly 'hated by the Daily Mail' job, plus is foreign!

God how absolutely awful Brazilianmum - I feel so ashamed on behalf of the Real Britain. it's the disconnect that is the epitome of DM shiteness.

I fear I've made a twat of myself, but Donnie, I still don't appreciate your comments.

Feeling rather silly and hormonal and thick at the mo. I'm a bit sensitive as have other stuff going on at home and feel easily personally attacked.

I really do feel inadequate though. How could I have missed all this stuff? Must admit that on the occasions that I do read the paper, I feel quite miserable as the world looks like a terrible place.

ONebat, are you morally elastic? Do you write for Guns and Ammo? Nuts? Seal Clubbers Monthly?

oh not at all curly. We've all been there.
and re: the actual matter in hand: read, consider, then stop buying the DM!!!

as you say curly - whenever you read the DM it makes you feel miserable.. a good enough reason not to buy it. I personally think they just have an agenda to make anyone who isn't white and middle class (whatever that means..) feel like they don't belong in the UK, which is not a great starting point IMHO.
Am v interested that the MN consensus seems to be so anti-DM - are we all a bunch of lefties or is everyone else keeping quiet?!

he's home I am going to check his bag
I want to be certain

Before I do anything
Compost heap is primed

make sure you use rubber gloves, sag

Curly dont feel bad and certainly dont let a MN thread make you feel thick. Anyway if you're used to reading something regularly its easy to stop seeing its hidden agenda.

Sagacious - dont forget to sort out your alibi.

Acid! For Christ's sake, who's got the acid?
That lady from Murder She Wrote is coming up the path! Having asked un-threatening but subsequently-revealed-to-be-pertinent questions of the villagers! And they all read the Daily Mail!

Oh, sagacious, just give him to me. I'll fuck him.

Upon checking his bag I found a....

Evening Standard
Daily Mail
London Lite (crossword half completed)

He just has no respect for me at all

Onebatmother worry not, Jessica Fletcher I beleive is dead, well she is now, she joined DDH (dearly departed husband) on the compost heap

Am comforted, at least the rhubarb will be good this year, the children like a good crumble.

Desi, he's covered in teabags, you really wouldn't want to dear.

Thank you for your kind words of comfort. You are my rock in a raging sea of filth, hypocrisy and illegal immigrants.

(Curly that was not aimed at you BTW, I am sorry you were upset)

Curlyweewee don't get upset by the anti DM's on here it's fighting a losing battle & it's best not to enter into the fray especially on a jokey fun thread.

Let them have their fun- god knows what they'd say to readers of the Sun or NOTW!!

You know what I despise? The way it draws you in with sweeties, like a benevolent grandfather. I've some classic films on dvd free from it. But the temptation to just 'have a flick' once you bought the paper is so strong.

What harm can it do, you think. You even rationalize it by thinking you can use the paper to line the rabbit cage. And yes, I've even tried to make light of it by playing DM bingo online, trying to find the most stereotypical article in it that day, but I know I'm only deceiving myself with that.

No, no. It is a terrible thing. Perhaps you could help your husband come down gently, with something like the Mirror?

Be strong. We're here for you.

Sag, I don't want to worry you love, but there's a bit of a smell coming from your garden. Will google 'cover up smell rotting flesh' and get back to you.

bossybritches - can't speak for anyone else obv but I would say nothing to Sun or Mirror readers. The DM is a squillion times worse that those papers because it pretends to be a quality paper,it sees itself as a step above the tabloids when in reality it is peddling scaremongering, bigoted nonsense.
At least the Sunday Sport is good clean naked pics of teenage girls and My Son Turned Into a Hamster stories - it's not trying to warp minds or pretend to be actual news.
just my opinion

I'm with tippychick, I also dont have any issue with tabloid newspapers (or the people who read them). In fact, I quite like a nice juicy tabloid over Sunday breakfast and they're not as dull as the Guardian . At least tabloids dont pretend to be something they're not.
