I just felt sorry for the young lad in his England shirt looking forward to the world cup. Little uns don't understand something like being thrown off the bus because of your shirt.
Thing is I don't usually read the papers so I didn't really notice which paper it was in. It could have been the timbuktu Echo for all I knew:D

Like it or not, and personally I don't, though do read the odd second hand copy, so I don't become too blinkered, it's the second most widely read paper in the country.

If you discount the one that has nipples and 'news', it's the most popular.

No surprise there.. but I have noticed that most of the other "serious" papers have sold out by late afternoon.
I reckon there is some gerrymandering (does he still write for the Mail?) going on .. don't know if it's nationwide but all the McDonalds in London have been giving away a free daily mail at the run up to elections for the last 20yrs...

Perhaps if you rose before late afternoon, and didn't eat in Macdonalds, you might broaden your reading matter.

You might like to know that Jonathon Harmsworth, Viscount Rothermere, owner of said newspaper, has recently aquired a new brother-in-law....Mark Thatcher. After Thatcher married his wife's sister Sarah Jane, formerly Lady Francis Russell.

Horrid girls both, though their dad's sound as a pound. Used car sales man, Tel.

It's no secret that the Mail is vehemently right-wing and pro-catholic, and has been ever since it stopped supporting the fascists at the outbreak of war in '39.

I don't know why people get in such a tiz, it's not going to change it's allegiance.
