Except for the fact this isn’t the first time the Daily Mail has come out in support of a fascist party.
"... the MailOnline posts any old crap, and hang the research."
But then you knew that already, didn't you?
"Christ almighty, the “Daily Mail” coming out and defending the disabled, surely this must be a April Fools day joke? "
"More than half of us - 54% - think unemployment benefits are too high up from 35% in 1983. Workshy parents are to blame for child poverty, say 63%""
"Well, maybe not. "
"“It’s investigative journalism like this that keeps the Daily Mail in the thoughts of panic-stricken morons everywhere.”"
"Even the trail doesn’t attempt to hide the fact that the headline is a complete lie. It’s embarrassing that this is the media we have accepted – not all of us, but enough to make the Mail website one of the most visited ‘news’ websites on earth. Collectively, as a planet, we endorse this meaningless drivel."
"Do you know anyone under the age of 25 who owns shoe polish, or an iron? "
What utter fucking bollocks! I'm over 50 and don't own shoe polish or an iron - or, for that matter, any *pretty dresses* - but while my wardrobe is quite deliberately sloppy (mostly, in my case, because my disabilities don't allow me to wear tailored or restrictive clothes), my mind certainly isn't. So I'll give you a reason that's far closer to the truth about why people riot: it's because they're being thoroughly shafted by a country full of Daily Mail reader types who couldn't give a flying fuck about them.
"CRAVING: Daily Mail
Possible ailment: Misogyny, misanthropy"
"Nasty piece of journalism that is close to the bottom of the barrel. "
"The Commons Speaker, John Bercow, has risked his political neutrality by describing the Daily Mail as a "sexist, racist, bigoted, comic cartoon strip"."
And I think he was being rather kind.
"If it was any other publication (I hesitate to use the term "newspaper") I would be shocked and appalled by the deliberate lies and misinformation being used to attack disabled people. Unfortunately, I'm getting used to it, and so is everyone else, and all these little drops of poison are being allowed to drip on into the public consciousness unchallenged."
According to the Daily Mail, Tenerife is still in the disconnected dark ages and Anorak question if this is,"Because the internet does not exist? Email does not exist? Mobile phones you can call directly do no exist? Files cannot be posted? Judges are all idiots?"
"... heads were exploding across Britain today as people tried to work out which Daily Mail story was a hoax."
"The article elaborated on the claim, observing that: 'half have not been asked for evidence to support their claim, having been given the benefit based on their original application form'. In addition, the current Disability Living Allowance (DLA) awards process was characterised as a 'great disability benefit free-for-all'."
"Along with Rumania and Bulgaria, Narnia joined the European community on January 1st." Almost believable: I'm surprised this wasn't a Daily Wail story.
"Since we complained last week, you would be forgiven for thinking that this is getting rather boring. And it is. However, The Broken of Britain want to show the Daily Mail that their tirades against disabled people will not be put up with anymore - if they print the smallest falsity, distortion or lie about disabled people, we will make a noise about it, But we need you to help us by using the above template to make your own complaint! "
"Not contented with their hugely untrue story about Incapacity Benefit last week (see Sue's analysis on her own blog), today the Mail are going after DLA claimants with a story massively deficient in facts."
