Paul Dacre Resigns

[barnflatwyngarde]

Question 1:
Is Britain a better place without Paul Dacre in Fleet Street?

Question 2:
Is the question above a rhetorical one?

[DirectorDave]

1. Don't know, who is replacing him?

2. No.

[GUT]

Who is he?

[Pcdunn]

Who is he?

Exactly my question. So I looked him up.

Seems a cynical sort of a fellow when it comes to selling papers. Is the "Daily Mail" conservative or liberal?

[Herlock Sholmes]

Hi Pat,

The Mail is about as Consevative as you can get. There's always been something a bit sinister about Dacre.

[Sam Flynn]

The Mail is about as Conservative as you can get.

In mitigation, it is sometimes liberal... with the truth

[John Savage]

Hi Sam

As they used to say in Fleet Street "Never let the truth spoil a good story"

I’m not saying they’re vindictive Gareth but they’ve never forgiven the Welsh for Owain Glyndŵr.

Maybe one day the wounds will heal.

Good article by the great-grandniece of Arnold Toynbee here:

Thanks for spelling his name correctly, Herlock.

The Daily Mail is the original purveyor of Fake News and race baiting bulls**t. In 1938 they had complained about the influx of jews from the continent while at the same time coming out in support of Oswald Mosley's brown shirts marching down Mile End Road. They are not called "Daily Heil!" for nothing. In more recent years, they run weekly front-page articles using the following template:

"A Row erupted in Brussels last night over [insert some bollox here]. Barmey EU technocrats have again conspired to raid Britain's coffers. Mr. [insert some tw*t there] said "we will not be pushed around any longer".

Most of what they wrote had of course no correlation to Earth 1.0.

Good riddance, but I'm sure there will be some other idiot running the shop soon.

Cheers.

You are so right, Svensson :


"New Daily Mail editor to be Geordie Greig



Pro-remain editor of Mail on Sunday to replace Paul Dacre at top of Brexit-backing paper"

[Sam Flynn]

Bloody hell, it's Nora Batty.

More like "no chapati", since we're talking about the Daily Heil.
