Gotta say it was just a tad distasteful the Mail using a pic of Millibands dad's grave in their online article but whenever has the Mail been an upholder of good taste?
The Guardian also draws attention to the Mail's own "potentially treacherous" stance in years gone by.
"By delving back into the fight against fascism, the Mail inevitably invites consideration of its own record in the 1930s and 40s.
"The first Viscount Rothermere supported Mosley and the Blackshirts in the early 1930s. Later the paper favoured appeasement and tried to subvert the constitution in Edward VIII's favour during the abdication crisis.
"The 1930s were uncertain and difficult times and hard judgment calls were made. It is only with hindsight that it is clear how wrong, even - looking back - how potentially treacherous some of them were."
Alaister Cameron's rant at John Staefel is a cracker too. "Not bad for a Burnley supporter ! "
