Daily Mail - disgraceful article

Nobody's business except for Dave Myers family. Shame on the DM.

Of course he had money after all those programmes and books and I don’t reckon Dave was the kind to spend money on expensive frivolous things. He came across as an ordinary bloke, and a lovely one at that, who hadn’t forgotten his working class roots. I was surprise by the DM’s headlines so soon after his death and think it crass and insensitive. Usually you don’t hear how much money someone left until probate has been granted. So much to listening to Si’s request to let the family grieve in private and peace.

TheDaily Mail is a rag and not a newspaper. Wikipedia doesn’t class it as a news paper as it only 30% news. Before the Second World War it supported the black shirts according to an old thirties newsreel my dh was watching a week or so ago. It led a daily support for Brexit which was when I stopped buying the Saturday edition for the tv prgrammes. It wants to appear popular and spells out their “cause” for the masses to follow.

Oh dear.
His family does not deserve this.

And RIP means rest in peace.

'Daily Mail - disgraceful article' is like saying 'Coals found in Newcastle' or 'Pope is Catholic shocker'.

Really disgraceful,insensitive journalism. Who is interested in how much money the man has. I’m sure he would swap it all to be still with us today. Shame on you DM.

Absolutely agree, none of anyone’s business, disgraceful so called journalism, the family must be outraged!

I gave up on it too Cossy and never went back!

Absolutely awful, which is why we haven’t read this paper for several years!

I felt very angry when I read the article .
How insensitive .
Dave Myers , a much loved man has only just died and his family and friends are grieving for him .
I thought that it was a vast fortune - it isn't .
What is the journalist trying to imply ?
It's none of our business .
I knew someone , whose health was wrecked by sleazy , untrue speculation due to articles in a local rag .

I agree. No sense of occasion.

I saw the headline, chose not to read the article. When my husband died, our local paper carried an article about his many contributions to our town and his loving family and friends. The journalist contacted me via one of the community groups he supported and asked if I’d be willing to be interviewed for their commemorative piece. The article was front page - look said my 5 year old grandchild, there’s grandad on the paper. I’d have been devastated if instead of commemorating a lovely man, they’d have snooped into our finances. Cheap and nasty daily mail

Money is not your priority when you’re dying of cancer, and of no consolation to his family now - so why upset them further and print this, particularly so close to his death. Horrible.

My thoughts were the same too.
Why on earth does it matter how much he was financially worth? We are valued as a person not wealth.
Daily Mail showing its true colours this morning!
Think I will finally stop viewing it!!!
