'Much'?

I've never, ever, thought of David Mellor in flagrante, dressed in a football shirt.

Whatever floats your boat.

:rolleyes:

That's the trouble.

When they are crossed, because of a malfuction, you wouldn't be aware of it.

It's always been a mystery to me how people, even people who seem to have reasonable intelligence, can take anything "reported" in the Mail as real!
Not having a pop at you Jaysay.. I did say resonable intelligence.;)

Even though it's probably the most heavily skewed newspaper, politically, find me a story in it that isn't true or accurate, and that hasn't resulted in legal charges.

They have teams of lawyers checking what's published, so good luck with your search.

Just because you don't like the political bias, doesn't make whats reported 'unreal'.

I didn't have to search for long

Mr Hollingsworth was awarded £75,000 by a jury last month for an article in the Daily Mail claiming he had hit his former lover, the DJ Harriet Scott, during a row.

I said that 'hasn't resulted in legal charges'.

Preferable would be a juicy story with a political agenda.

Keep searching.

I'm sorry I posted it, I didn't know it wasn't true. I'm not saying all people from abroad are like the bus driver, I just thought it wasn't a nice thing to happen to a young boy.

Don't be sorry, as Cashy said.

It's got people posting, and rattled Mancie's strait jacket's buckles.

Ok hang on..this incident may well have happend.. but wether or not the reporting is real is another thing.... I'd bet anyone it is designed to wind up those who read that paper.
The Mail sends out an image that it is an upmarket "serious" newspaper...now that is not reality.
