The Mail on Sunday

I often buy the Mail On Sunday when I need a tabloid size newspaper to read in my taxi when I'm out working. My actual Sunday newspaper of choice is the Sunday Times, but it is far too big and bulky to handily read in the car, and in any case there's about a week's worth of reading in the Times, which you couldn't say for the Mail On Sunday. The edition I buy here in Dublin is actually the "Irish" version. It's called the "Irish Mail On Sunday", and is produced and edited in the Mail's Irish offices right here in Ballsbridge, Dublin. A lot of the content is obviously taken straight from the UK edition, but there are a ...  Read the complete review

The Mail on Sunday is a Sunday paper and the weekly arm of the right wing paper The Mail. The Mail is becoming famous for its rather xenophobic, bigoted views in terms of immigration and tolerance. The sunday version is more of the same but has longer to think about what it wants to print in the paper. The Mail as a brand is a paper I particularly dislike becuase I can detect the papers right wing agenda influencing some of the more ammenable members of the population into their horrible racist, bigoted views on race and immigration. As with my review on the weekly version I have seen the toxic effect this paper has had on my father in law, he's a man in his ...  Read the complete review

I get it every Sunday morning, which is nice. Well I know what to expect. I know some of it is bound to get me going. Other bits I will either want to slowly linger over or get out of the way as quickly as possible. At the finish though I'm pretty sure I'll be well satisfied. Yes, you can't beat a Mail on Sunday. To me this newspaper reminds me of a wet Sunday. I'll be dressed in a big soft fluffy towelling dressing gown and I'll have a lovely cooked breakfast of veggie sausages, mushrooms, toast and scrambled eggs. All on a thin white plate, of course, with strong, hot Nescafe Gold to sip while I am reading. The rain will be gently ...  Read the complete review

It is a good newspaper for me. There is more to read than in the Express. It is interesting although it is perhaps not as good as on the introduction of the Night and Day section. It is irritating that from time to time there are sections missing form the newsagents. Did you get your You magazine and the Whitney Houston CD with the paper. The news and sports pages are adequate. The format of the review and the commentary sections are ok. The writing is not as thought provoking as it once was. There used to be an Insider column that was excellent. It is a shame that no longer exists. Although I think politics apart all the Sunday mid-market ...  Read the complete review

The Mail isn't a newspaper that ever attracted me - not least because of its brand of political posturing and image as a very middle-aged, middle class, conservative publication. At a friends' home, however, I found myself engrossed for a good hour in a really excellent magazine, which I was quite astonished to discover was the MoS Sunday supplement. The following week saw me buying the paper for the first time ever - and two years later I have it delivered every week. I'm not really a 'newspaper person', and still find the MoS very biased take on the news, both at home and abroad, irritating in the extreme. The ...  Read the complete review
