'What Brexit?'...... That would be the calamitous one.

Poof, gone in a puff of ink and indignation, what exactly would we lose? Thirty think pieces on why millennials hate ironing? A front page about a dog that looks like Thatcher? The Mail crying because a woman ate hummus in public? We'd be richer in trees, time, and mental stability. 👍

Just never "buy" them ..in any sense of the word.

If the Mail, the Sun and the Telegraph shut down tomorrow the country would be much better.

On the contrary, the country would improve significantly. It would stop the BBC reading out their lies everyday for a start.

I just laugh that Dan Hodges is now considered a journalist putting his name to that shit

True on a superficial level, however it then pushes interested parties towards online platforms, TV media sources, online vloggers and tubers which are no more likely to exercise objectivity or factual accuracy than the printed press.

Problem is its replacement (social and 'alternative' media) is in the hands of people who are even more dishonest/mental.

Surrender summit, the Daily Mail is just a comic and a pretty crap comic at that.

Unrelated however, these #brexit freedoms are going really well 👇

No doubt the Daily Hate & its fellow travellers will be all over it too...

It could have been any two but no shock that it’s this pair

sirandywood.bsky.social•1 day ago

It stretches one’s imagination to it’s absolute limit to surmise how thick readers of the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday must be‼️

A front page which has everything a Mail reader could want - Brexit betrayal, Megan and wellness advice by the, er, literary editor.

stu31.bsky.social•2 days ago

To be honest a simple removal of Dan Hodges as a print journalist might have helped.

quantumchico.bsky.social•2 days ago

As long as there are idiots who exist, the print media will keep churning out.

paulobro.bsky.social•2 days ago

That and 24hr rolling news. Absolutely no need for 24hr rolling news, it's just a rage machine for right wing hacks.

The Mail is just a hate filled rag.

percytoplis.bsky.social•1 day ago

The lying by the Mail is so pernicious... the Govt should raid their offices and shut them down they are a national outrage

mcopsey.bsky.social•2 days ago

The one that has stopped us living working trading and loving with our neighbours and undermined our economy

trogdouser.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, certainly not the Daily Mail.

rolandmcs.bsky.social•2 days ago

I realise there are good/great journalists who would be impacted by this but their skills would shine through any transition to e.g. Medium/Substack [general subscription only please]

simonbm.bsky.social•2 days ago

For the others, there’s always sidling up to strangers at the bar and ranting.

It’s a sacrifice I’d be willing to make (for them)

anamusingaddress.bsky.social•1 day ago

If Meghan supported Brexit that might end them for good

crowdinho.bsky.social•1 day ago

The precise opposite!

vincekaralius.bsky.social•1 day ago

The sooner the better!

kieronmurphy.bsky.social•1 day ago

You just know that they’ll never admit that they were wrong about anything…ever…this rag in particular has a long-standing tradition of being on the wrong side of history…

Love a bit of piss boiling of the right 🤣
