AIBU in thinking that all readers (and writers) of the Daily Mail should be put to death?

[TiggyD]

Well?

Right-wing, over-reacting, paparazzi funding, health scare loving, minority hating sub-literature for busy bodies, racists and little Englanders who live in the past?

You can assume that the people in the BNP who can read both buy the Daily Mail.

Be nice; you just know that somebody at the Mail will read this

Hahahaha my parents are wail readers.

Everytime I visit my mother is on about some thing or other to do with immigrants/single parents/people on benefits- I just ask have you been reading the wail again and she shuts up!

They are NHS hating facists the wail! Well in fact they hate most people/groups and organisations.

Oh look...another thread about the DM....how original...

aibu to think people who start threads about the Daily Mail are boring cretins with the imagination of a dead frog...

What do you think TiggyD..?

Perhaps instead of killing, which we are all agreed is rather reactionary, we could have them flogged instead? A win win situation for all concerned.

scarily accurate

I love my Daily Mail and it's considered fairly highbrow in my village

Perhaps I should switch to The Sport for some tits and fanny.

OMG I think I agree with Daftpunk

"aibu to think people who start threads about the Daily Mail are boring cretins with the imagination of a dead frog..."

...never thought I'd see the day!

Tiggy that'd apply to nearly everyone on mn then.

It must be true because 99% of links are to it and most people here are remarkably well informed about what's in it.

ooooh can i be rehabilitated and given a new identity pleeeeeeease

onebadbaby: "Have tried the Times, but find it all a bit irrelevant to my own life(we live up north and are not public school people)"

Which proves that we probably shouldn't judge people by their newspaper choices... I shudder at the idea of reading the DM, but I'm sure that perfectly normal people do read it. I read the Times and don't live in the South or send my children to public school!

LOL at thread title

My brother and i call it the daily facist but despite telling my parents off and tearing most of the articles to shreds for their poorly written, inaccurate, racist, bigoted views, they smile, say 'yes dear' and continue to buy it. However my parents are lovely caring people (although have slightly dodgy views on immigration).

YABU

Just deport them.

Seeing as they think this country is 'going to the dogs' anyway...

This thread makes me wish I were a dm reader.

There are some seriously thick, bossy women on this forum who love agreeing vociferously with each other.

Yes well done for finding a nice stereotypical group to scapegoat and feel superior to (totally unlike racists).

Thinking (and reading) for yourself is overrated, don't bother.

YABU.

The irony of it all is that I'd bet if the internet histories of mumsnetters were analysed en masse, The Daily Mail website would be the most visited news outlet site. It's oh-so-hip to slag it, but everyone secretly reads. Everyone.

does it really matter? does it really reflect on you as a person to what newspaper you read? i dont think it does, tabloids are like cartoons for grown ups, sometimes i want to read a bit of trash fiction i dont want to trawl through the dullness of the BBC website.
tabloids are good for laughs. the DM has an article on Fearne Cotton's hair colour.
and thats the whole article.
love it.

although i did laugh when you went 'mm...jamular' to the

But I like my parents and PIL! I can always tell when they're giving me a line that they've taken straight from the DM, and my Mum and Dad are immigrants .

Seriously though, you could say this about any newspaper and get people to agree as there are all sorts of papers to reflect the opinions of all sorts of people - just as there are all sorts of political parties to reflect different opinions.

I don't like the DM's style and attitude, but it continues to sell, so some people do. I find the best thing is to have a heated debate with them

There are some seriously thick, bossy women on this forum who love agreeing vociferously with each other.

Ooooooohhhh

Only if we can gas sun/mirror/star readers first before they spawn more of the lower classes

And flog guardian/telegraph/observer readers with a pair of crocs as there are only so many horse faced people I can stand

And do not get me started on the daily sport, tissues and flasher macks the lot of um

A rather narrow-minded, bigoted OP, IMO.

Strange, that.

Stones, glasshouses etc etc.

As the DM is a successful, popular paper, read by many, there must be lots of people that share it's views.

Last time I checked we were, just about, living in a democracy with (relative) free speech.

I don't know about the ethics of killing them. Maybe pinching or pulling their hair would be OK

YABU - I read the Mail but am none of the things you mention. It is possible to read a paper and disagree with some of it! What do you suggest we read instead Tiggy? I'd rather not subscribe to the same as you though as I don't want to become so bigoted and judgemental ....

YANBU, that would spare me the embarrassment of having to hand out copies of it on flights. I often apologise about it, which passengers seem to appreciate!

i love the mail, its an easy read and i can make up my own mind about subjects and don't necessarily believe everything they print. the Sunday supplements are fab so is female and the quizzes.
its the same as tesco bashing yet millions shop there but apparently everyone on here hates them.sheep like exactly.

maybe us DM reders(yes I read it once a week) should have thier own support thread.
