Default Jan Moir - Daily Mail journo
Anyone seen the Daily Mail article by Jan Moir today?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...lys-death.html

What a vile creature she is. It's caused a real shit storm on the net.

As Stephen Fry said

The Guardian has picked up on this now.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/gree...stephen-gately

There are groups calling for the boycott of the Daily Mail's sponsors, and anti DM blog posts popping up all over the place. I think the DM may have bitten off more than they can chew with this one. I also notice that they've now changed the headline to a less provocative one.

It's been quite enteretaining watching all the Jan Moir bashing over the last few hours and hopefully she'll be picking up her P45 by the end of the day.

Daily Mail hasn't changed since it founder was the man who welcomed Hitlers moves for change in Germany and for years openly supported Oswald Mosley, generation after generation of racist bigotted views.

Its only real use in society would be to use it as a gauge for social culling, imagine buy three copies in a month and get free admittance to logans run...

Yeah I saw that article., it really is pathetic.
The way they describe the celebs is contemptible e.g.

Stephen Fry
Wonky-nosed intellectual British actor, writer, comedian and presenter.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-internet.html

What the hell has his nose got to do with anything? It's a crass childish dig at him.

Did you see Jan Moir's "apology"?
She claims that some in the gay community were upset, though that was never her intention and that there's an orchestrated campaign against her, what a load of bullshit! I'm not gay and not part of some orchestrated campaign, and neither are most of the other people who were disgusted by her comments.

Apparently M&S pulled their add from said page and the PCC's website went down due to the volume of traffic after receiving a record number of complaints.

Hopefully the backlash will sting that rotten, vile, hate filled, bigoted rag some people call a newspaper where it hurts.

Shall we talk about The Sun next?
