Did you cut the Montgomerie article out of your copy and scan it, Baggs?

Of course!

(actually got it from Twitter—montie's reel).

I find it rather amusing that JC reads The Sun! His intellectual level, I suspect. when he can't get a copy of the Beano

How nasty, Chewbacca - but not unexpected.

In fact the men concerned were brought to justice, tried and convicted,

eventually and after much suffering which could have been prevented.

but there's an awful lot of the red top newspaper snobbery and judgmentalism on Gransnet. Funny, that.

and quite strange that posters who condemn such as the Daily Mail etc are the people who seem to know exactly what is in it - online, of course, as they would never ever spend money on buying it.
So presumably miss all the campaigns for good that such newspapers do and only see the trash and comments from troll-like online readers.

I find it very odd.

Chewbacca how could you

Just because someone didn't do very well at school doesn't mean that they may not achieve greatness later in life

Think of Winston Churchill!

I do think of Winston Churchill Jalima ! Oh so often!

Baggs interesting! perhaps Corbyn always reads The Sun ( somebody must do!)

do they still have 'Page 3 girls?'

If so, rather strange that they are getting hot under the collar about sexual abuse.

but I suppose that is a case of 'look but don't touch'

Nasty durham? No, I don't think so. The Sun is an odious rag that perpetuates sexism and racism and has, in the main, a readership of people who don't rate women any higher than their sexuality and who detest all "forriners". It amuses me no end that JC is photographed clutching a copy of it to his chest. I would be sceptical that he only bought a copy for "research purposes" because their are several alternatives to that (such as online reading or having a copy delivered perhaps?) I prefer to think that this is his usual reading matter; simply because it amuses me.

I'm sure I've read more than once that The Sun is the most popular newspaper in Britain.

Quick online search Baggs:

"The NRS has Daily Mail/Mail Online in first place with 29m readers a month followed by The Sun in second place on 26.2m, the Mirror on 25.8m and The Guardian on 22.7m. on 25.8m and The Guardian on 22.7m."

Gosh!!

What awful people populate the UK

I never realised.

indeed Jalima. All those people covertly buying right wing rags, for nefarious reasons! Who'd have thunk it!

You only have to watch 'The Papers' in the late night news or in the morning to understand where the red-tops stand in the scheme of thing; you really don't have to read them. You can also access many single articles on-line. I think the inverted snobbery about these papers is far, far worse than anything coming from those who choose, generally, not to read them.

If you are still living in the days of only getting news when you pick up a paper no wonder you have such a narrow view.

I don't read a paper so I must have a very narrow view indeed

Wonder why so many on the political threads post links to Guardian articles? They must have an extremely narrow view of the world...

Me neither. But if I did, it certainly wouldn't be The Sun!

I have never seen a single person on here only post from the Guardian.

Not only the Gruanian, but predominantly.

Nope, Chewbacca, I haven't seen that either. There is more of a division between those who bother to reference their comments and those who are arrogant to think they are reference enough than there is between single paper references.

Simple difference of opinion then GGMK2.

Yes, a couple of regular political thread posters do fit into that category, the ones who think they don't need to give any reference.

Hang on , I love the Beano, it's my one weakness, well one of them .
