    Here we go again.

    Why do you have it in for the Daily Mail ?

    At least it has the courage to speak out about what's wrong with the country and continually pokes a stick at our government. Would you rather it didn't and just posted celeb gossip and pictures of breasts like The Sun ?

    The Guardian, on the other hand, is a left-wing newspaper and hence any criticism of the government is usually toned down to no more than a gentle chiding. Plus The Guardian is boring.

    I somehow think you've been on the negative end of Daily Mail journalism, probably due to the demented F4J demonstrations, so it's no wonder you have an axe to grind against the Daily Mail.

    Tough.

    If you deliberately put yourself in the media spotlight, prepare to be scrutinised and villified.

    What were you expecting ?

    Mass public sympathy, a cup of tea and some biscuits ?

    I would suggest that the Daily Mail is not the problem.

    The Daily mail is a knee-jerk right-wing paper, just like the Guardian is a knee-jerk left-wing one. Neither is read by the truly intelligent.

    To be fair, the Daily Mail is not highly thought of among educated people.

    Mrs Gonzo likes it but I would never allow it in the house. Says it all really.

    In fact the daily mail has been incredibly supportive of f4j.

    If you wanted a serious debate then you should have started a seperate thread instead of hijacking this one.

    I intend to start a seperate thread on this. If you have anything sensible to add put it there.
