Maths With The 'Daily Mail'...


Odd. I always thought 'a score' was a lot more than seven...

I think the point being made outweighs the exaggeration this time, Julia.

I'll give her a pass for this alone:
"...during the Blair years when Republican murderers were reborn overnight as 'statesmen'..."

What I would take issue with is the beginning of the above sentence,

"Forgotten for decades..."

It's not the sort of thing people forget unless you are a "progressive" politician with a convenient memory lapse. Any more than people will "forget" the London Underground bombings, the Warrington bombings or the Birmingham bombings (to name but a few). For that she deserves a kick up her arrogant, insulting, dead tree media arse because the memories of journalists are every bit as convenient as that of politicians.

Wow, how low can a person sink.

No wonder you have comment moderation.

I have reported your site to google.

I fail to see anything offensive that is worth being "reported to google" for, some people just have a problem with the truth.

Well apparently you get reported to teacher if you criticise a paper for misreporting on sensitive subjects. Criticising a paper for misreporting on uncontroversial subjects, I guess, is OK.

Issuing empty threats to silence dissenting voices is what happens when you are drip-fed a diet of authoritarian CiF gruel.

Go back to your cocooned comfort zone and quit annoying the adults who are unafraid to call a spade a spade in the face of obdurate, free speech murdering, politically correct BS.

Oh, agreed. I'm such a grammar pedant though ;)

"Wow, how low can a person sink."

Was there something about this post you didn't like, anon?


Well, tough.
