..and is that the Telegraph as in the right wing pretty much anti-feminist broadsheet rag? If so I might have to stop getting it...

Yes it was sponsored by Telegraph. They're not on our banned advertiser list and it wouldn't really have occurred to us to say no to them tbh. The Sun and The News of the World are on the list but that's on the "no porn" rule as opposed to any "They're right wing rule". We don't have one of those as we're kind of up for freedom of speech and all that and besides we've had Dave Cameron on for 2 webchats so clearly we do allow right wingers a voice. Having said that we might think a bit more carefully about having the DM as sponsors (on the women bashing front).

Out of interest, in our Mumsnet census of 2006, around 11% of Mumsnetters said they regularly read the DT in print or online and, not that this counts for much , I used to write about football and cricket for them long, long ago in my pre-MN days - they were extremely civilised to work for, I must say. Not sure they're as nice now though...
