Never knew about that page, thanks.

I'm amused and irritated my post is near the top... Stop thank-liking posts

The red arrow means that the person voting on the comment doesn't agree with it or finds it a load of bollocks. Now these votes are anonymous so you don't know what type of person is voting. I know for a fact that there are people who are not regular readers or just look at the DM to have a laugh, vote against these comments so for all you know they could be made by non-regular readers. Its just the fact that someone who is presumably educated made the comment in the first place...

one assumes that the people who vote have read the comment and the underlying story so they qualify as 'Daily Mail' readers. As Xoggy points out there is no logic in your kneejerk reaction.

Yes the comments are funny and some extreme but you get similar in other papers.

That's mean.

But he is a UKIP voter...

Are you missing some brain cells today? If these comments from "morons, racists, sexist" are typical of DM readers why have the DM readers in general given them lowest ratings?

Correct, most of the comments are from morons, racists, sexists, etc., typical DM reader, i.e.

Eh? They are the lowest rated comments so, if what you saw is Facist (it is updated hourly) that would make DM readers the opposite.

Looked just now and most of the comments are nothing to do with politics.

"Woman comedian? Surely an oxymoron?"

"Are people that stupid they need directions to their own home?"

"This is why women can not be trusted!! you lived all these years in silence and now you want to speak??? attention seeking much"

"Turks are only interested in eating those dirty doner kebabs so this type of restaurant is far too refined and upmarket for that country."

"We don't need India we have most of them in Bradford"

majority of the comments shown are a good distance to the right of Mussolini

Bit disappointed really, I expected far more rabid frothing and convulsing.

Mussolini received the title of Il Duce from his time at the top of the Italian Communist Party. He was ejected from the Comintern, and subsequently the Italian Communist Party, because he didn't sign up to the internationality of the Communist movement. He took his followers and formed the Fascists. Fascists and Nazis were only named right-wingers by the Commies who found their activities counter-revolutionary. The Social Democratic Left of this country especially loved both the Nazis and the Fascists throughout the '30s.

And the Communist Parties of most countries twisted themselves inside-out defending the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement.

H.G. Wells, noted Fabian Socialist, for instance, called for a Liberal (old sense of the word) Fascism to be implemented over here because he admired the Fascists. About the only non-socialist "fascism" out there was perhaps Franco's Spain, which was a bit more royalist in its tenor.

Mussolini was a fascist.

Hitler was a socialist. Well, national-socialist.

P.S. You are an UKIP voter ain't you?

That's mean.

As Mussolini was a socialist that wouldn't be too hard.

Mussolini's position was more of an upside-down type.

there was a guy that really knew how to hang out!

Sometimes the voting shows more about the voters.
