For DM and Boris haters he is going to be writing a weekly column in the DM!

Well off he’s gone taking his weird assortment of supporters with him. I have no doubt that his column will be a five minute wonder, and it within very short order the caravan will have moved on to other excitement.

Yes, I can’t imagine that he’ll do it for long either.
He will see it as beneath him, like absolutely everything else

Did anyone hear JRM make a fool of himself on Nick Ferrari’s show yesterday?
I’ll post a link if anyone is interested

I’ve just read the article. Not good on detail is he - as ever. Still, I guess most people will take his column with a pinch of very large salt.

Once bitten………….and all that.

It appears that physical newspapers are dropping as more read online however, Daily Mail is still the most popular paid for print newspaper in U.K.

DH has just come home with a Daily Mail.
He said "I know you like the TV bit"

Is this grounds for divorce?

I don’t know, Callistemon, it could get you drummed out of the Brownies on here, though!smile

Wow, by a long way.
Over double the next highest paid-for paper, The Mirror (excluding the MoS)

GrannyGravy there aren’t any ‘broadsheets’ on that list

Interesting GrannyGravy. Mind you, I imagine we could all guess which were the most attended rallies in the 1930s.

Just as correlation is not causation, popularity does not mean good, accurate or without bias intended to mislead.

FannyCornforth Sat 17-Jun-23 11:38:26

No Times, Telegraph, Guardian, or Sunday versions of them

I noticed that, so I googled from several different sources and they were all the same.

The Broadsheets were very much towards the bottom of all lists.

I’m not sure where the average reader gets their serious analysis of political events. I guess the television?

I know that we may often complain about the bias shown by our national broadcaster - the BBC, but compared to the USA we really are in with a fighting chance of a reasonable analysis of domestic and world events with stuff we can find on BBC news.

That is why so many people in the USA honestly believe that Trump is so good for their country - because their diet will be solely Fox News whereas in the U.K. the dominant news broadcaster is still the BBC and we are imo the better for it. Look at how Johnson has slid from grace since the reporting of his behaviour - it has been rapid. Whereas if news outlets like GB News were dominant and which is so similar to Fox News it would be a very different picture.

Or indeed The Sun.
This is the reason why

Perhaps they do not want to publish their shrinking print readership?

There are some guesstimations available, but obviously they are just that guesses

hmm perhaps on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour Callistemon.

In case you hadn’t noticed we are in the 2020’s not the 1930’s

FP here you are. I think it was sometime between 8am and 9am.
I missed it, but DH heard it, and said it was a bit of a car crash.
I’m listening now
