Boris is going to write in the Daily Mail

PS he said David Cameron was a girly swot because he did get a first!

Maybe I got them mixed up.

Because it has a huge influence on some people- it's not about what they read, it is how it influences the way they think, and the way they judge and treat others, foreigners, immigrants, asylum seekers, single mothers, those in need of social/financial help, and so on

I’ll remember this the next time you quote from or post a link to the Mail Online!

'A very truthful account.'. Well that'll be a first then.

Well I hate Johnson, I hate liars and I hate traitors. I wish him ill. As to his silly column in the Daily Mail....how the (self proclaimed) mighty are fallen. Silly writing for silly readers.

“I wish him ill”. 😱 my goodness, I think you may need to take a long, hard look at yourself. That is spectacularly offensive and spiteful.

The fact is, that the DM has supported fascism since its beginning, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, and more. And has demonised many groups of people, including immigrants and asylum seekers, and many more. And was against women getting the vote, and women being independent and working.

The best comment on SM today 'the sinking ship has joined the rat'

I’m always shocked at how the caring, compassionate, left have so much hate for anyone who doesn’t think like them basically.

The fascist left always rears it’s ugly head I know, but it still surprises me.

Fascist is far right Kandinsky.

So which newspaper do you read Fleurpepper? You seem to be very familiar with the DM and frequently post items from it. I don’t read it so have no idea about its history or contents apart from what I read on GN, which is most illuminating.

^It was certainly more interesting than the constant pusillanimity spouted about him on GN.^

OK, own up! Who’s been googling. 😂😂

Pardon? ¿?¿?

Please explain.

‘Twas a joke, Baggs. I didn’t mean you had been googling!

👍

I google quite a lot actually, but not on this topic 😁

Boris did not get a first class degree by the way, he got a 2:1.

Okay! Not what I’ve heard but I defer to you. Nonetheless any degree from Oxford is worth a Masters. I know this because my son did get a First Class degree from Oxford (not Classics though, Jurisprudence ) and he told me. It’s hard to get into Oxford and hard work once there. It isn’t for the faint hearted. You can call BJ whatever you like and I won’t argue, but lacking in intelligence he is not! And I have seen posters make that claim in the past. They’re just wrong.

Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin MA degrees are not equivalent to a masters from elsewhere. They are a historic title to mark seniority and not a further qualification. My partner has an automatic MA and earned MSc from Oxford.

Dastardly!

I think that suits him.

Oh heck!

I said first degree, not a first.
It was a reference to Grantanow's opinion of people who may just read the Daily Mail.

He'll probably have to limit his vocabulary for DM readers, no Latin tags

So an assumption that DM readers are thickos who cannot possibly have a first degree, ie a BA in Classics, ie let alone higher degrees in other subjects.

Just to clarify.

Which SM was that FP? Was it Twitter by any chance.

I can throw out some stereotypical views of Guardian readers if it helps.
My prediction is when another Johnson comes along, or perhaps even Johnson himself, they will all look at each other mistified and say but why do all these people who we treat with utter contempt keep voting for people we don't like. It's a mystery.

Bojo's article popped up on line today. It was amusing enough, although a bit below his "King of the World" ambitions. He's certainly better at a bit of light entertainment than he is at politics, but most of us knew that already.

You can do a taught Masters equivalent at Oxford, Keir Starmer did, for example, having graduated with a first at Leeds University.

How would you describe someone who might read The Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Independent, The Mirror online?

Confused? Or well-balanced?

Perhaps it would have been better to have given Dilyn a column?

Callistemon, I’d describe them as trying to be well informed

From Yes Prime Minister:

(Jim Hacker explains who reads the newspapers)

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

Brilliant!

There are some on here who think they know everything.
