The fact is that it's a terrible state of affairs in this country where we (the general public) let a group of faceless journalists working for a toilet-paper-worthy rag such as the Daily Mail decide what we are offended at. Everyone wants to be heard above everyone else. Everyone wants to be more offended than the last.

...and for another thing you've totally misread the view of the general public over this fiasco, and overestimated the power of the press, especially the best selling non-red top tabloid, the Daily Mail.

If the Daily Mail really had that much sway over public opinion we wouldn't have had a Labour government for the past eleven years.
