That ghastly tabloid certainly knows how to plumb the depths of human depravity!

It was silly and sexist but hardly the depths of human depravity.

Floo only does 2 settings, OK and utterly evil beyond your wildest imagination!

It's ironic, like pretending to like nylon shirts and huge moustaches... isn't it?

Please everybody, don't take the Daily Wail seriously.

I sometimes post on the Wail, on issues of major global importance such as Cheryl Tweedy/Cole/Whatever's bum tattoo.

(To Rhiannon):Doesn't everyone?  (Joking)

The Mail is dire, always surprises me that it's so popular& what's worse is  readers seem to believe all it states - immigrants, benefit scroungers and the like, but this article is mild really, more Sun-like.

(NSane yes I get that  . )

Rather more settings than that, dearie!

Wow..... And now The New York Times is covering this story:


Many readers were immediately appalled that the encounter between Theresa May, the prime minister, and Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister of Scotland, had been reduced to a comparison of their bodies. By Tuesday afternoon, at least one complaint had been filed with Britain’s press regulator.

“This is 2017,” Chuka Umunna, a Labour lawmaker, wrote on Twitter. “Sexist does not begin to describe this front page.”

It was worse than silly. Two of the most powerful leaders of the UK meet to discuss all our futures and an alleged newspaper of record chooses to letch over their legs.Maybe not depraved but somebody needs to get fired for this.

Far worse was their "serious" article which claimed that Tezza slaughtered Krankie.

I agree. It's pretty disgusting.

You can bet your bottom dollar euro that the next time Angela Merkel sits for a photo shoot with your leggy Prime Minister, she will be wearing the shortest lederhosen she can squeeze into.
