The Daily Mail - there's something very, very, very wrong here.

[sp1814]

Surprise, surprise - another 'anti Daily Mail wail' from me.

...but honestly, isn't this a little bit digraceful?

The Daily Mail (I won't print the link) has published on the front page of it's website, a picture of a man who has recently been gored to death by an elephant in New Delhi.

It's the first thing you see when you go to their home page - great big banner pictures.

Am I being over-senstive, or is this really wrong?

[Answerprancer]

Nah, its IRRELEVANT (tee hee hee)

[ChuckFickens]

But at least they did post a "warning graphic content"

Directly below the picture!!!!

[hc4361]

I suggest you don't watch the video on that page.

[cazzz1975]

I find the daily mail to be quite a negative, scaremongering paper. Also for a national tabloid they make a lot of glaring errors and inaccuracies

[Ankou]

is it appropriate to talk about arse of the year as well ?

honestlym this paper.

He's Indian so it is OK.

[R1Geezer]

I really think you should stop reading the Daily Mail Gromit, it seems to make you sad.

[R1Geezer]

sp1814 even!

[anotheoldgit]

It's enough to get right up your trunk.

Never happened when the British were in charge.

[mccfluff]

now you're trying to be provocative AOG

[ChuckFickens]

that was in bad taste, AOG.

[R1Geezer]

It's a valid point, most countries were better off when they were in the Empire, as anyone in Rhodesia!

[Zeuhl]

It would be a valid point if it were true that when the British were in charge nobody ever got gored by an elephant.

However, I think that claim is highly dubious.

[Gromit]

Tell that to the Mau Mau R1

[R1Geezer]

Nothing special about the mau mau, they just wanted home rule and like many before and since when they get it they find out they are much worse off. Oh except for the few that is that have 49 rolls royces while their people starve to death! Surprised you favour that Gromit, still anything to be anti British eh?

[anotheoldgit]

The Mau Mau were murdering terrorists Gromit.

Ask the relatives of the settlers that were raped or murdered in their beds, by hordes of machete armed savages.

[R1Geezer]

That's ok AOG because the British are the bad guys!

[DTCwordfan]

I much prefer Pippa's arse..Carol's would flatten you.

However, doesn't these two articles just about sum up the DM? - garbage newspaper and should only be read by people in that profession. But then they should receive danger money for handling it.

[DTCwordfan]

The worst story, though, is the one below on Peter Thompson being "left to die in a NHS corridor" (if true)

[Zeuhl]

<<Ask the relatives of the settlers that were raped or murdered in their beds, by hordes of machete armed savages>>

Alternatively, ask the opponents of British rule who were tortured, raped and castrated whilst in custody.

I think it's inevitable that if one country takes over another by force, regardless of the practical advantages or disadvantages of that administration, sections of the indigenous population will rise up and resist the occupation by force.

Partisans did it to the Germans in the 1940s and I'm sure many fine British people would also have become <<murdering terrorists>> if Germany had succeeded in invading this country.
