I Don't Know Who Writes 'Mail' Headlines....


...but I'm pretty sure, under the circumstances, the Brits have the same chance of dying as everybody else down there...

Unless, maybe, they're smokers? If so, they must be doomed.

That's because the DM doesn't expect its readers to care about the other 27.

Apologies if you have already seen this, but it's well worth a look:

It's funny for a while, but then after about a dozen or so clicks you will probably generate a headline that the DM has probably used for real, at which point it becomes a bit depressing!

If you still need to laugh, then perhaps try and click my name. Or not.

Chapcustard: too true! :-)


ARE CHAVS RIPPING OFF THE MEMORY OF DIANA?

If I was one of a group of trapped miners/stranded workers etc, I'd far prefer to be associated with the group, rather than by the accident of my nationality.

And, bearing in mind that the mine is on the other side of the Globe, I wonder if either of the 'Britons' still views themselves(or wishes to be viewed) as such?

Reminds me of the 'Royal Corgi' quote from Drop the Dead Donkey where the team discuss what level of death is required to lead the news bulletin.

i'm seriously considering all msm online news is out of date bullshit. it takes for ever for the bbc to update thier pages, do you think all content is personaly vetted by the queen before it is published?

i always knew that 99% of online content is bullshit but when 24hr news channels break stories more acurately and quickly than the interweb, wtf is going on?

as for considering the miners afilliation to the UK, regardless of thier plight and I wish all the miners well if they are alive, do they fuck give a dam about the UK. I bet they do everything they posibly can like any person working abroad to keep thier tax dollers out of the hands of stupid people incapable of looking after anyone or anything, like the Irish, yes the Irish who for 40yrs or more bomb the fuck out of us and then we are supposed to lend them money cus thier broke. the only sensible argument for that is that while they piss thier lives up the wall it will have a negative impact on us a bit like if a hord of dole scrounging chavs move in next door, still wouldn't lend them air never mind money!

so we should shoot chavs and poor irish people and save miners? oh and stop paying tax wherever posible ;)

and to anyone thinking of reporting me for inciting racial hatred and violence shooting the poor irish would be a waste of good bullets, let 'em starve ;)

chav does not equal race, so they are game for hunting with hounds as discussed before, tally ho

Anonymous,
In order to distinguish myself from you I shall call myself 'discerning anonymous'. (Look it up)

I'm not Irish but I have Irish friends. Most of them can spell.

I suspect pal that you are pure, unadulterated chav. Your racist insults are rendered harmless by your ignorance and hatred. You clearly have no appreciation of why this 'loan' has been made available.
I think it's safe to say that George Osborne hasn't suddenly discovered his Gaelic roots?

Do you have any money BOS. (Natwest). Probably not. But if you did you'd welcome this 'loan'. Because it may save the bacon of more than a few English savers.

So, you thick bastard, you might want to save a bullet for yourself. That would not be wasted.

"That's because the DM doesn't expect its readers to care about the other 27."

Another depressing thought...

"...after about a dozen or so clicks you will probably generate a headline that the DM has probably used for real, at which point it becomes a bit depressing!"

Oh, priceless! I wonder if the editor uses this on the sly, when stumped for a good one? I would, if I were him.

"If I was one of a group of trapped miners/stranded workers etc, I'd far prefer to be associated with the group, rather than by the accident of my nationality."

Me too.

"Reminds me of the 'Royal Corgi' quote from Drop the Dead Donkey where the team discuss what level of death is required to lead the news bulletin."

'If a sparrow falls...' and all that. So long as it's a British sparrow!

"...but when 24hr news channels break stories more acurately and quickly than the interweb..."

Try Twitter. That's currently fastest at breaking all news.

"Do you have any money BOS. (Natwest). Probably not. But if you did you'd welcome this 'loan'. Because it may save the bacon of more than a few English savers."

I've seen that argument advanced a lot in bailout discussions. Yet, we are still bemoaning the decision not to let the banks go under. I wonder if we will similarly regret this?

The Daily Torygraph apparently employs DM headline writers: "Husband flies to South Africa to help murder police".
