Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Awful hateful news agenda

The Daily Mail is a daily British 'news' paper. I hate it. Let's just take a look at one of the articles in today's edition (I went online, I refuse to buy it) - it's about Diversity, the dance group, who won Britain's Got Talent. One of it's mixed race members is described as 'frizzy-haired.' Now this may seem like a small thing, but I think it says it all about the ethos of the Daily Mail. The lad has an afro, he's mixed-race, it's not 'frizzy'.

I'm sick of the influence of the DM, it's a nasty newspaper (let's take any subject we can and blame it on immigration). It harks back to some England (the soft thud of a wicket on a summer's day in Surrey type of rubbish) that I'm not sure has ever existed.

It gets regularly outraged about the silliest things, such as it's shocking revelation the other week that teenage girls sometimes kiss each other as an experiment - I mean for the love of God, this has been going on since the dawn of time! It hates women (too thin? Bad! Too fat? Bad!). It is written largely by white, middle-class men, who never venture north of the Watford Gap.

Please, people of the UK, stop reading this tripe!

Summary: Daily Mail - stop reading it!

I think that might be a little too much of a generalisation by the devil dude... yes many people in the UK are of a right wing standing however there a large number from the left and further to that there is a huge amount of apathetic people who are more often than not completely oblivious...great review thanks.

. All a paper can do is reflect its readership. The UK is very right wing.
