Daily Mail - disgraceful article

Does it matter where it was printed? It's just like rubber necking at an accident really. The only reason papers print private stuff is because so many people like all the gory details whether it's murder, a juice sex scandal and divorce or financial.

If people didn't read it the papers wouldn't print it.

I have a friend who lost a child in a very sad and very tragic accident, it made the daily mail and the 1st sentence referred to the value of their house.

The article and tone caused her significant distress.

Things like this is why I don't read newspapers. I wouldn't waste my money on them.

Why on earth is anyone still reading the Daily Fail?

I agree with all of you. I stopped buying & reading the Daily Mail a few years ago. I don't know why it took me so long as my son was appalled that I read it but I enjoyed reading the Femail section with its interesting articles at the time, but after seeing the constant inaccuracies, the nasty opinionated hate-filled"journalism", the spite & hounding of people I decided enough is enough. It is the lowest of the low!

Why are his finances even relevant?? Dreadful rag. Never read it.

I can't get too upset over this. It's not as if the other aspects of his career hadn't already been fully reported. I seem to remember 'Latest wills' being a regular feature of the local paper, it was mildly interesting to see how much (or how little) a local figure had accumulated.
There are better reasons to dislike the Daily Mail. I could quote one instance where they tracked an ailing television actor down to his care home, snapped him when he hobbled across the road to buy a paper, and opened the article on him with THAT picture. And the article was a muck-raking one, though they couldn't find much muck to rake. THAT'S why I dislike the Daily Mail.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to read the Mail

Dreadful invasion of privacy not the information anyone needs to know

How disgusting!!! I loathe that paper, I loved that they came from low like me and got better off, they helped so many with cooking too

And the daily Mail wrote ‘dead’ not that he ha passed away or died?
Another headline was that some daughters were angry because their father ‘only’ left them £50 each! Because they never visited him!
Why is it anyone’s business?
Daily Mail and British media is the lowest of the low -
Look how they’re hounding The Princess of Wales!
No respect for anyone or anything - pure scum

Agree totally.

I wouldn’t touch the Daily Mail with a 10 foot bargepole. Horrid, biased, nasty and opinionated rag.

I read the article online. It must have taken some digging to obtain details of all the houses that Dave Myers bought and sold.

It is two faced to comment on Mr Myers' wealth when the DM proprietors are substantially wealthier. Harmsworth is a non dom - one of the reasons why the DM was opposed to remaining in the EU. Mr Myers was a UK resident and as such paid tax in the UK.

The article was a nasty, vicious piece of tabloid journalism. There was a time when the DM campaigned against racism, such as the Stephen Lawrence campaign although his mother is bringing a case against Associated Newspapers for breach of privacy.

The Daily Mail is a hate filled rag published only to fuel division and spite. The sooner it's banished to the annals of history, the better. Appalling waste of water resources!!

To repeat posts above...it's the Daily Mail what do you expect? Proper journalism?
It's a vicious comic and that's denigrating decent comics. Beano Dandy et al.

Not sure what point you’re making Freya5, it’s equally abhorrent to publish information like this straight after somebody has died anywhere, surely?

Not making any "point", just saying where else I've seen it, I only flick through the papers, or is that not allowed now.
No I don't really care how much the poor man had, celebrity's will always be the centre of gossip. Banks are governed by a very strong confidentiality clause, whoever leaked this to the press must be held responsible for their actions.

The Daily Fail is a mere comic and deserves to be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

And - I’ve long believed if it was closed down for even six months, our country would be a much more positive place to live in.
It feeds misery and bigotry

Whatever Dave’s monetary wealth was is of no business to anyone outside his immediate family. Shame on the DM and any other newspaper who thinks it is.

Well well,in the Independant also.

Full disclosure I haven't read the Article in the DM but from the tone of the posts already made it sounds as if the late Hairy Biker's wealth(if "wealth" is accurate) is presented in a spirit of criticism.
This is, at this juncture , not only tasteless and offensive to everyone that loved him but also ,as everyone has said, something he would no doubt swap to be still here.
In any event if he made good money or a "pile" so what ? He made the most of his talents and his opportunities so good luck to him.
RIP Dave.

I expect the Daily Mail to print what it thinks it's readers want, it's why I never read it.

Well, what do you expect from the Daily Mail.
