I guess I'd never been on the site before. I doubt I'll be back unless it's to find out more about some vapid celebrity "showing their curves at the beach in a daring polka dot bikini."

As others have pointed out. Women don't 'show their curves', they 'flaunt' them in DM parlance.
 
Not been able to read the DM on my phone for a while. Think the S5 has developed a bullshit blocker.

Trust Labour? I'd rather trust Jimmy Savile to babysit, writes RICHARD LITTLEJOHN

Can you imagine what this paper's reaction would be if a Labour supporting journo at a left-leaning paper like the Mirror had written an article with a headline like that about the Tories?

I haven't read it and I don't intend to, but that headline is truly disgusting. Personally I feel a Labour/SNP coalition would be pretty disastrous for the country, it's my opinion & I'm entitled to it, but to make such an analogy is beyond crass.
 
I can't believe just how much the paper has been able to get away with when it comes to Miliband and the Labour Party.

Remember their baseless 'the man who hated Britain' hatchet job on his deceased WW2 veteran father, complete with photo of his gravestone?

Practically every time they publish an article like that, readers' comments show that it's backfired.

The top rated are understandably appalled, but no idea what the ratio of pro/anti is given there are over 1,100 comments. Would be surprised if they don't get complaints over that headline. Not read the article.

Jesus Christ, just look at the state of the 'Best Rated' comments under this article:

'Sorry your train is delayed, someone couldn't be bothered to live any more': Fury over shocking announcement made by First Great Western after death halts service:

There's obviously a complete lack of empathy with the victim and sympathy for his family. I can understand people's concern about the driver, but the commuters' frustrations is sadly no surprise. Equally sadly, when you move to London, the initial shock and horror of hearing the old 'person under a train' announcement' does give way to a feeling of mild annoyance and concern about explaining why you got into work so late etc...It may sound heartless and it probably is, but even the most compassionate of people end up being cnuts when it comes to tube delays.
 
Is this a FAIRY in the woods?

They've feckin outdone themselves this time, in a lovely piece entitled:

'Holidaymaker misery as thousands of boat people from Syria and Afghanistan set up migrant camp to turn popular Greek island into 'disgusting' hellhole.'


Calling it 'disgusting', Anne fumed: ‘We have been coming here for almost ten years. We like to eat, drink and relax. But this time the atmosphere has changed.

'It’s really dirty and messy here now. And it’s awkward. I’m not going to sit in a restaurant with people watching you.’

Another British couple on holiday with their grandchildren from Birmingham said: ‘We have never been before but we don’t like it.

‘We won’t be coming back if it’s like a refugee camp again next year.’

How would you like it if you forked out loads on a holiday and the whole place was littered with homeless people

I don't think I would go back again the following year, that is for sure

Really? Your over riding thought upon seeing thousand of people fleeing for their lives and living in poverty would be 'gosh, this sucks for me.'?
Click to expand...
If I was on a City break I would expect to see an element of poverty

But when I go on a nice sun holiday, in a nice resort it would totally ruin my holiday yes, assuming they are absolutely everywhere.


Obviously I realise what you are getting at, but I would question those who would not feel the same.
 
Anyone that reads a full Daily Mail article on their page, and I mean all the way past the 4th picture break, deserves those 10 minutes back.

The disgust of holiday makers arriving in another country only to be disgusted by the other people arriving in that country, doesn't strike you as daft?

I bet I could find a shit load of disgruntled Greeks who are disgusted by the drunk Brits who turn up there every year.

Drunk Brits annoy me too in fairness. But usually in resort places like this the only locals are in the tourism industry, so they rely on them to earn a living. I can't imagine the Greek government are very happy with this either as the industry will take a hit...obviously

If you had a choice between two destinations, one was a resort with no refugees the other had loads which would you pick?

And if you arrived on your nice holiday all excited I refuse to believe you wouldn't be a little disappointed if you arrived in the scenes pictured in the paper.

Likely not, but I wouldn't expect my mild annoyance to be the newsworthy story here. It's basically blaming immigrants for the disatisfation of other immigrants.

Not really

It's nobodies fault. It would just be a shitty situation

People pay to go on a nice relaxing holiday, if they don't get that it's going to be disappointing

No, being disappointed at the scenes rather than the situation or the plight of the people is shitty.

Do you know how much a family holiday costs for a week or two?


All well and good feeling sorry for people and their situation, but at the end of the day you save up and spend a lot of hard earned money to go away, you can't just pretend all that money wasn't a waste. This is the real world
