Is this the face of Jesus in a drinks cabinet?

No, but the 'holy spirits' gag was entirely predictable.

Maybe it is the face of Charles Manson and he wants the owner to go on s drunken killing spree, hence the picture on the drinks cabinet. It couldn't be more obvious.
 
Sadly, there's been a wave of anti-children articles in the Mail lately. Apparently they get in the way of selfishness, which is unforgivable.
 
Excuse linking there- not sure what went wrong, but the main thing is he FEARLESSLY stroked the unconscious (possibly dead) lion, or its brother who was also a lion.
 
When the Daily Mail and the Sun are favouring migrants/immigrants/refugees, you know shit's getting serious.

I think they are torn, like a lot of people, on the issue. Contrast that very sad image with one of a horde of young male migrants kicking down a fence and you can see the different emotions they may evoke.

That's tasteless by even the Mail's standards.

Check the Calais thread. @Uzz argued against my view it should be spoilered, as it was in the Washington Post. You can see both sides tbf, but the pic is running globally, not just in the DM. The WP has a far more graphic image.

It's not just the spoiler aspect, but that image on the front of that rag with the record that they have on immigration... tasteless.

Like the Sun running something similar with regards to Hillsborough.
 



and on another note, been depressed all day since seeing the images.
 
Let them in ffs. I was of that view before the recent tragedies, but now I'm certain of it: each EU state has to take a certain amount of refugees.

Mixed messages of course but it would nice (but perhaps naive) to think this pic has touched everyone. Regardless of your views on the paper, it is the world story right now. Everyone will lead on it. You could argue that if the DM buried it, it would be pilloried for being insensitive. Glad my mag is a financial trade. fecking minefield running an agenda-led title.

You're right, tough editorial choice all round. Bit like the Napalm Girl -- might finally show people the state of things in a perhaps necessarily graphic way.

Your magazine is primarily a trade mag, right? Bought by trade insiders and such.

That is exactly the point, some images go down in history as a harrowing snapshot of a desperate time. I think this will be one of them. Maybe that is what is needed to make everyone sit up and recognise the scale of this problem and work towards some form of solution.

Yep, my mag goes out to investment professionals- the guys who run the money for wealthy individuals. We try and help them run their businesses better and make more informed investment decisions. Helping the rich get richer if you will and no, it doesn't trickle down...

If it stops the "refugees are satanic, drunken, louts" rhetoric currently extent within the mainstream media, then it might serve a good purpose.

You remember the experiment the other week where they used Nazi speech material in DM comments? Would be interesting to broaden it and compare and contrast the language used when describing refugees and migrants with that written about benefit claimants. Could imagine it would be depressingly all too similar.

Would be a waste of an experiment. Just venture into your local BNP branch instead.

You argue articulately but are one of those weirdos that turns off their green light.

Must be fun being the news editor there. 'Boss everyone is majoring on that dead refugee kid', 'nah, feck that some washed up ex-Hollyoaks actress revealed a quarter inch of areola in the CBB jacuzzi.'

That's probably computing power that has revealed a few more Ashley Madison cheats. Would be intrigued to know if anyone in the Caf has been stung by that- apparently 1.5m users in the UK. High statistical percentage.

Failing that, juxtapose LB's posts from the 1% thread.

You'll all be glad to know that the Daily Mail editorial team have overcome the cognitive dissonance they obviously felt after humanizing the refugee crisis by spinning it into an "it's all those ISIS bastards fault" story.

The relief in the comments section is palpable. For a while there, middle England felt very uncertain and confused...

Back to form -- no surprises there.

I understand wanting to censor graphic content, but what is the point of this photo:
