"Natasha Bolter: Oxford University deny sex scandal Ukip candidate ever attended"

Roger Bird, who is a PPE, introduced Natasha Bolter as having defected from Labour and being a PPE too.

I saw her interviewed on BBC Newsnight last night, and I did begin to wonder about Oxford and PPEs. I'm not a big fan of PPEs at the best of times, but Gordon Bennett, I thought to myself.

What's going on?

Occasionally the Mail makes some errors. It is rare and outweighed by the truth they tell.

I don't think it is a sidebar of shame. Some people like reading about celebs. I don't, but others do. The Mail tries to tell the truth about everybody and everything but occasionally it make mistakes.

It's Britain's second highest selling paper and has Britain's most astute readership. There are lots of stories in it, different people read different things. Liz Jones, for instance, is excellent and very funny and she does talk about fashion and what people are wearing. But you don't have to read it if you don't like that, there is politics and science too.

"My Dad is the perfect Daily Mail reader. 70, lives in the South and ex military officer."

Isn't it more an NCO's paper? [grins]

Oh, I do too! All wrapped up in one over educated, lefty liberal overweight female package.....

The only box I don't tick is immigrant. But I am part Irish, and my parents were immigrants, but white ones from the a commonwealth so that doesn't count.

There is no doubt the Daily Mail is right of centre and right on the money. It's not the Guardian.

I guess that's both of us cashiered from the People's Army.....

'Never has a truer word been spoken'

And that is why it has such high sales, people like it (apart from the metropolitan elite, they absolutely hate it)

Yes

The metropolitan elite and the BBC prefer the Guardian

Not very popular with younger people (under 50s, that is). You'll have to look elsewhere for your new recruits...............

The DM readership is not representative of Britain, though, is it? It's a particular demographic, and one that is dying off. What do the children and grandchildren of DM readers read, I wonder?

Does it upset you when people issue a warning for a DM link?'

No, it makes me laugh.

"What do the children and grandchildren of DM readers read, I wonder?"

The Daily Mail, it is the "common sense" paper.

They don't claig-see kim147's figures above.

"No, it makes me laugh"

It makes you laugh when the Mail publishes unpleasant things about people? Which turn out to be untrue?

Jonathan Powell, Blair's Chief of Staff, said on This Week to Andrew Neil something like the Daily Mail is read by the politicians and Labour politicans because it is the paper they fear.

They dread what the Mail's headlines will be because they know the Mail sets the agenda and can end their whole game if it feels like it because it is Middle England's paper and if the Mail makes Middle England hopping mad, then the spinners in Westminster know they will be on the run.

"No, it makes me laugh"

when people say sorry for linking to the Daily Mail because it shows the power of the Daily Mail and the politically correct brainwashing that the spinners have achieved by making people apologise for linking to the truth.

Hmm so where does that leave northerners?
