Daily Mail Poll Fail

Ooooooooh that home page is horrid. Never knew it existed, my favourites link just points to the News Page.

Off topic but it seems odd at time why there are so many sneers at The Daily Mail but not The Daily Express, although on any day they both carry exactly the same tales of asylum seekers in £10m taxpayer funded mansions etc.

Maybe nobody reads the Express.

This was in the Daily Mail today. Typical some might say.

Hospital bosses admit 'some of our doctors can't speak or understand English' | Mail Online

I think has one to distinguish between two sorts of "Daily Mail" comment.

There is the silly sort like "Christmas celebration cancelled to avoid offence to Muslims" which just stirs up trouble based on some daft decision by one out of the umpteen councils. There are always daft decisions to be found if you look hard enough.

Then there are things like "asylum seeker in £1M pound mansion", "violent foreign criminal given right to stay in UK" or "foreign doctors not speaking English", like the one at top. Those are totally different from the first as (assuming true obviously) they raise genuine concerns that need to be addressed.

One should not ask why the Daily Mail prints them but rather why the Guardian and BBC do not.
