Would this be the Daily Mail that fought hammer and tong to bring the murderers of Stephen Lawrence to justice or the Daily Telegraph that exposed the whole MP's expenses racket? Today the 'Mail' pens an article warning of the dangers of the rise of fascist groups.

How do you reconcile your opinion with this and which newspaper would you recommend?

The very same paper that incites racial hatred on a daily basis. Oh the irony.

The 'Mail long since became a parody of itself.

I sometimes watch the paper revue on BBC or SKY, and whilst other rags report the usual sorta stuff I chuckle as it screams vilification of everyone from some scruffy-assed migrant fleeing for his life to ermined members of the House of Lords.

Or 'traitors', as the DM now dubs them.

Errr, what? Abolish the second chamber?

Looks like The Mail and this old lefty are finally in full agreement...

I'm not batting for the Daily Mail but inciting racial hatred is crime. If you took them to court would you be able to prove your accusation or would you just express an opinion? I'm not having a go Tips, I'm pointing out that you're just repeating the view I challenged and haven't moved the conversation forward.

What I want to now is how he thinks it invites racial hatred when he doesn’t read it? It still makes me chuckle when people have a go at the Sun for page 3 when the Sun hasn’t had a page 3 for years.
