A gossip paper with speculation thrown in.
I read the Daily Mail because it is accessible in Egypt. It is a Tory paper but it also has the most vile gossip and the writers have no thought of any decent comment. The vitriol rolls out from their writers like sludge from an aged sewage plant. Here are some recent headlines (which I've tweaked in the name of humour):
" Kill her, Kill her", reaction of Sudanese to the British teacher who mis-named Teddy Bear. Don't they know they've killed thousands in Darfur?
" President pardons British teacher." Shouldn't that be : War criminal pardons little Miss Teddy?
" Hillary strong in hostage crisis." Bill had an RPG.
" 13 000 Polish babies a year." No shortage of plumbers in 2027!
" Camilla, queen of the Nile." Where was Bogart?
" Darling loses computer discs." You're getting old my darling. Or: Scot loses the lot!
" Cruise ship sinks in ice." Rescued Passengers cuddle together in lifeboats. "All you need is love."
" Ulrika has 4 babies by 4 husbands." I'm off to Sweden in the spring.
" Come back Tony, all is forgiven." Stay in Jerusalem please.
" McCanns sell child to perverts." How low can the Mail go?
" Ian Smith and Mugabe held hands." Yes, Baas.
Many British papers blame the red tops for smut. They should look at themselves.
