Protest March in London today

Callistemon Exactly, it has something for everyone which is why it's so popular! Even the haters love it. ?

The only time I read a DM article is from a link on GN by posters who must scour it avidly every day to find something which offends them.

I'd say your post was a little more than just criticism! It was full of venom. I think most people would agree the DM has plenty of trash and poor journalism, but overall it appeals to all types of people all over the world because it has something for everyone, and that is what makes it so popular. But the main point you were making (most forcefully) was that it does not agree with your left wing views and that is the reason for your venom.

Be warned Grans - criticising the Daily Mail means you must be "extreme left wing" !!!!!

Hate is a very strong word and your post is full of it! From what I've seen the DM attacks politicians of all parties, they are certainly not giving the Tories an easy time at the moment, so that's one claim down the pan.
Yes, there is a lot of trash, but you could say that is why it appeals to everyone, they leave no-one out! They don't give wrongdoers and criminals an easy ride, though, they are onto them straight away. If they happen to be criminal immigrants then you might see that as racist. And highlighting extreme benefit fraudsters is not a bad thing. Maybe you see it as targeting benefit claimants. They print stories which are often ignored by other news outlets, and have campaigned heavily for good causes, anti pornography being one.
They are everything to everyone which is what makes the Mail online so popular, and just because you don't like what they print does not make them poisonous. That is a typical extreme left wing view, trying to trash anything you don't agree with.

The haters who habitually read the Mail did not start off as haters.

They were drawn to reading it because they were interested in celebs, soap operas, pop stars, gambling, soft porn, sport, the Royal family and especially sex scandals involving celebs, soap opera stars, sports stars or royalty.

That's what they are interested in, but when they get into buying the Daily Mail or accessing the Mail Online on a daily basis, they are brainwashed with political poison and are taught, by the same paper which supported Hitler in the 1930s to HATE.

They hate immigrants, especially refugees, benefit claimants (also known as scroungers), trades unions, the EU, all foreigners and the supporters of any political party other than the Tories.

No wonder the Mail online has such a large readership, even the haters read it avidly! ?

It does appear to be the go to publication for many...

This what Mail readers were being told last October.

The Indian variant won't recognise the under 30's unfortunately when it hits our shores.

Two callers on James O'Brien this morning trying to explain why they were marching. The first started talking about our freedoms and rights of access as included in the Magna Carta. The second, a woman, when asked where she got her news from said she never watched tv or read newspapers but she looked on line at sites like the WHO, the BMJ and those of others respected organisations. When James explained that these were all in favour of vaccinations and lockdowns she then said she talked to doctors all over the world and that she was in touch with thousands of people who all had similar views. She was actually a very sad lady and she ended in tears.

It seems that many of them think that their rights are being away and that they are being forced by the govt to have the vaccination. They also mention their sovereignty.

Turn hoses on them. They need hosing down and cooling off.

Sorry Callistemon just trying to make sense of it all, which is virtually impossible when the waters are muddied by conspiracy theorists.

I wasn't agreeing with varian's post, Chestnut, just amazed that it was presented as a viable theory.

There is no evidence that those two statements in varian's post are linked - at least no evidence has been presented here.

The under thirties may not buy newspapers but they can ztill be influenced by the poison of the right wing tabloids.

I believe that the Mail Online is the most widely read English language news website in the world.

I find it very interesting that two brothers could have such different views, if your theory is correct, varian.

Jeremy Corbyn spent years trying to bring the Labour party back to its leftwing roots from where it was on the centre left and his brother Piers must be influenced by vile, poisonous rightwing publications such as the Mail online as it was he who was one of the organisers of this protest, I believe.

The psychology of this dichotomy must be fascinating.

Someone has to explain how the Mail online is responsible for Piers Corbyn organising a march like this, and for the under 30s to be going on said march. Exactly what 'poison' has made them do this?

Dear God, wearing a yellow star? Unbelievably awful. A case of 'Father forgive them etc '

I'm fed to the back teeth with these selfish protestors who care nothing for our police and the rest of us in a pandemic, we are too soft on them.

But protestors like the Luddites and the Matchwomen existed before tabloids. Protests go way back. Nothing to do with Mail online.

The Chartists too - a beautiful mosaic mural depicting them was wantonly destroyed by a Labour Council.

Wearing the yellow star is just so offensive I dont even have the words for it.

Sickening.
Are they too dense to realise?

Me too. I’m speechless, it’s just awful. I wonder if they really understand the significance. I wonder if they’ve actually bothered to read any first hand accounts of the Holocaust. I wonder if they’ve visited any former concentration camps. It’s simply incomprehensible to me.

Eight officers injured when protesters bombard police with bottles after 'Unite for Freedom' demonstrations turn violent as thousands of anti-vaccine passport activists including TV presenter Beverly Turner and Laurence Fox take to the capital's streets.

What a bunch of idiots. They may be a small minority, but for the police who have to try to deal with it they are a significant mob with no morals and no idea of responsibility towards the society they live in.
