I have, exactly, 5 friends

I read the Sun

pmsl at the Daily Mail persecution
the thing is, I read the Daily Mail not every day but whenever I get chance, I find it interesting to see what is in there.
so any remarks are based on knowledge and not prejudice.

Tinker did you count me?
I am your friend.
I read the Socialist Worker

Oh, I now have, exactly, 6 friends

Hah! Well I have seven.

I don't care, I like being ridiculous about DM readers. (I sometimes read it too btw because of my friends buying it.)

That's DM readers for you. Greedy buggers, stealing all the friends.

er, no smallwhitecat, goodness you are a bit chippy about this.
can you tell me exactly what remarks about the DM and DM readers that I have made that have led you to make the statement you just made?
I am interested to know.

Thanks you, LB. We shall not let you forget that little, late night admission

Now, I shall leave this thread, because the OP rather dislikes me and she's probably been sitting on her hands for a while now.

Go ahead, WW. I am officially parped.

You have to know the enemy Desi.

And sometimes go for dinner with them.

I do have a very particular insight, though, into the people who made the 50ish negative and horrible comments about that article. they are arrogant and judgmental and ignorant about extended bf. as I say, what newspaper they read is entirely coincidental.
I shall judge them, nonetheless. their words speak for themselves.
sad, as I say.

"You have slagged off daily mail readers, harpsichord"
have I? Where?
that must have been when I was asleep.
find it for me, and copy it here. or take it back, please.

You do all know that they nicked the article from yesterday's Independent though, don't you?

Shhh, then it'll be out what paper I also read

Oh don't get me started on Independent readers...

I know lots of people who wouldnt want to b/feed a 4 year old too. I'm not entirely sure of the relevance or comparability of it to the discussion though, since I have no idea of how many people you know, and, it does require the leap of imagining having a) b/fed your child in the first place (and lots of women havent), and b) accommodating the idea that you wouldnt wake up one morning and suddenly start b/feeding a 4 year old (which most people cannot seem to do).

As far as the DM is concerned I think that it needs to be distinguished that some people read the DM and accept its contents as the truth, and some people read the DM and digest it with a good amount of scepticism.

Right, Morning Star readers.

Trotskyite, declasse, petty bourgeois, misguided... ooh ooh, I know, I've got one - menshevik!

oh I see.
know when I said "no it's not because they read the DM" I meant"no, it's not because they read the DM"
not that subtle really.
I think these type of views are really very prevalent, sadly.
I am interested in the content of the DM, because I think it is a very good indicator of the mood of the nation and lots of women.
and both my MIL read it, coincidentally
it is my observation that the content of the DM is often bordering on the misogynistic especially in terms of laying the guilt on women.
I think it is interesting that so many women love to read it.

Independent readers - We're f*cked.
