It goes to show how out of touch you are when you write bitter paragraphs below basically calling the public stupid because they disagree with you. It is very noticeable that when people such as yourself lose arguments or even elections, you'll resort to calling people stupid for the mere act of disagreement with you rather than analysing your own opinions or your own tactics when it comes to debate and reason. We've seen it before numerous times on the left with the prime example of Gordon Brown calling a loyal Labour voter a 'bigot' when the cameras were away for simply bringing up an issue of importance to him. How dare she! The stupid oik! Don't the peasant working classes know what is best for them!?
The attitude stinks. Drop it. I bet you believe, like Akeam, that the public are too stupid to vote on the EU too?
I have no idea why you refer to the Daily Mail as my beloved paper when you actually have no idea what my opinion on the Daily Mail is because I don't believe I have told you. Again you're assuming what I think rather than what I actually think. The ills and positives of the Daily Mail and others aside, I am still very happy that newspaper like the Independent which like to think of themselves as really really clever (like you basically calling the population dumbed down just because they read a newspaper you disagree with) is failing to sell. Articles on how immigration is just wonderful, the EU is amazing and how white people are racist just doesn't sell outside university/the BBC. I know that might come as a shock to you but try talking to some normal working people out there sometime.Quote:

Even papers such as The Spectator which have little publicity and small readerships are countering the trend downwards. Can't say the same for the Independent and Guardian though. One already down, one more to go. :D

I could go on, but the themes are a constant white people=bad, islam=great, christianity=bad, immigration=great, complaints about immigration=racist, daily mail=for stupid people, tax dodgers=bad (although guilty of it ourselves), unpaid internships=bad (although guilty ourselves), wealthy people=bad (although likes of Polly Toynbee have a Tuscan villa). It goes on and on and on. The stench of hypocrisy and hatred for everything decent in this country and western society is appalling. It stinks to high heaven, and that is why nobody reads it other than students, BBC staff and people living in north London.
You may think of yourself as cleverer than everybody else for reading it but the reality is you are just out of touch, not clever.
No smart arse, voting is a tribal act for most of the public. It has been shown in study after study that in Labour areas, especially poorer and in the north for example, right-wing ideas such as the death penalty, tightening immigration and tough criminal justice and punishment are far more popular than in middle class Tory areas in the shires. Yet areas like mine vote Labour in amazing numbers. It is purely tribal, see the changeover in Scotland of how a sudden change can result in a tribal party being overthrown in one night after decades of loyalty.Quote:

It basically is. It will struggle to hold on to staff and do investigative stories on just online revenue.Quote:
