Daily Mail - 15th September

I would be very grateful if somebody could please let me have the number at the bottom of the back page.  I think I must have accidentally thrown my copy out.  Many thanks.

But it’s almost like admitting that one reads The Daily Fail.

What a deeply predictable unpleasant comment from you.  People have a right to read whatever they like without vinegar comments. Bet you read the failing Grauniad and Independent. If you want to, fine, read the rubbish they and, quite often, most other people spout. But don't take the holier than thou attitude any more than you have on this site already.

Elizabeth.If you are referring to the 6 "Unique numbers" they have probably been entered already by anyone who will send you them. You can have mine but they won't be any use to you as I have already entered them. Click on the "Missing a unique number?" link on the RHS and choose one of the 3 options. Answer the question correctly and you will get your 5 points. Hardly worth it is it?

Derek Hill ● 2236d

Thank you Claire.  I quite agree with you!  I was hoping the responses were from someone who would be able to let me have the numbers.  Since Stewart is unable to I think that it's completely unnecessary & infantile of him to make a comment about my thread at all.

Elizabeth Fisher ● 2236d

I may be wrong, but I don't think you have posted much on here before?  If not, and if you continue to post you will find there are depressing people like Stewart whose glass is always empty, a lot of bullies (some women, but mainly men)but a lot of upbeat, informative and nice people.  If you are a newbie here, just get to know which is which.  There are several posters whose posts I just don't read.  Unfortunately you can usually tell what they said from the replies...good luck in this rather murky, but sometimes informative swamp!

Thanks, Claire.  I have posted on here a few times over a number of years but not with any regularity.  When I  posted previously I have had replies from upbeat, informative & nice people.  It strikes me though that there are a few people who are intent on posting nasty, malicious, unnecessary comments & I am often reminded of the worst kind of school playground!

Anyone who wastes their money on buying daily newspapers that just tell lies and gives politically supporting views are as part of the system as the paper they read. When does a newspaper report news? Never, only reports news that can be twisted to its own political means. They just sensationalise stories that are either supporting of the left or right and the majority are left wing. Another way to mass brainwash wash and drip feed political propaganda. Save your money, give it to those who need it, not some billionaire paper looser.

Sad person.

Ignorance is bliss ;-)

Ok, it is true that many newspapers have a political angle and this feeds into what is reported and how such news is presented. And it’s also true that many of titles with smaller circulation and budgets have cut their reporting staff back so that they pretty much reprint what comes through the news feeds. And it’s true that major 9 titles (Sun, Sun on Sunday, Times, Sunday Times, Mail, Mail on Sunday, i, Metro) are owned by just two media billionaires. But to claim most newspapers present a left wing perspective is utterly wrong. Only the Record and the Guardian are left of centre. And circulation of both is well below most of their rivals.

Maybe c james gets his/her news from that famously reliable and unbiased source - Facebook.

Alan Clark ● 2235d

'Bet you read the failing Grauniad and Independent'You sound like Trump, I know you don't like him?I read centre of right and left papers and form my own opinion.  I think its the best approach.

Matthew Swain ● 2235d

Your right c james I take The Sport and every other page is fake

Mike Doyle ● 2235d

"Only the Record and the Guardian are left of centre."So where would you place the Mirror on the political spectrum ?

Richard Greenhough ● 2235d

try russia today or fox news it beats the loony leftie angle

c james ● 2235d

Soz, I was citing the north version of the Mirror. Agreed it too sits left of centre.

Alan Clark ● 2235d

I will concede that those do not offer a left of centre perspective. However, if you think that the Mail or the Telegraph (for example) offer anything other than a right of centre tone then your own view of "centre" is really quite far right. You perhaps need to re-calibrate.

Alan Clark ● 2235d

Self-project much, Claire ?

Stewart Jones ● 2235d

As if enough people weren't telling us what we must and mustn't do.Some of you lovely people will have us burning our books next.

Roger Talbot ● 2235d

Wot, Stewart?  What are you bleating on about now?  No, don't bother.  Your posts are invariably so miserable, nasty and depressing, I really don't want to read another.  How's that glass doing?  Have you got it to half full yet or have you drained it of misery yet again?

Claire Moran ● 2235d

As your post was (1) unclear to the point of incomprehensible, and (2) a reply to my post - could you explain who on this thread has instructed you on what you must or must not do? Are you reading between the lines (and making up your own narrative) again?

Alan Clark ● 2234d

I was not responding to your post, Alan. I have, also, never done so in the past, and would never do so in the future.

Roger Talbot ● 2234d

Roger, if you're not responding to Alan's post, why did you click "Reply" to it ?

Richard Greenhough ● 2234d

Posts seem to enter the thread further down for some reason.

Janice Evans ● 2234d

It work replying to you Richard but sometimes can reply to a post in the centre of a thread and it will show as the last post.

Janice Evans ● 2234d

That is a welcome reply of clarification, of sorts.
