I read it sometimes online because it makes me laugh. It is highly addictive though! And I am thoroughly ashamed of my self.... Blush.

I used to read it online until Lucy Meadows' death, now I wouldn't if you paid me. Heartless bastards and bigots.

Bit depressing that so many people do read it then. One of the highest circulation figures so there are a lot of bastards/bigots out there.

Does looking at the sleb pics count?

Sleb pics, 'jobless mothers of five' and Kate Middleton's bump are totally newsworthy imo and much more interesting than all that nasty news/politics stuff.

That paper makes me all stabby so I cannot read it. Even the links people put on here I won't visit as I can't allow myself to give them the traffic.

Hate hate hate that piece of utter shite rag.

Just googled Lucy Meadows and am horrified. This is the dark side which makes me ashamed to admit to reading the sleb nonsense. Will actually rethink my shameful habit now.... [slinks off under a stone].

They attempt 'science articles' and even Daily Mail readers comment stuff like 'what a load of ignorant bollocks'.

Yes, in the Daily Mail, aspirin both causes and prevents cancer. Nice one.

I read it.

I'm not a bastard or a bigot.

I love it that no one will admit to it!

I think the DM is MN posters guilty pleasure.

Op - are you actually mum to a Rufus?

A secret shame.

Should it be top shelf, brown paper cover.

Labelling people as bigots because they choose to read a certain newspaper is, well.....bigotted. Let's have an 'I'm out and I'm proud' thread. Not that I am, of course.

I read it and actually buy it on Saturday. It's got great articles and I love the mag with it. I buy and read the sun as well.

MIL reads it and she used to give it to me to line the chicken coop. I often used to sit and read it whilst cleaning out the chickens. She also saves articles for me and dh to read.

Great Comic, I do buy it occasionally for the royal stories. The paper I can't bear above all others is the Right On Guardian.

I have a Rufus, I am wildly excited that there may be another one with such fabulous taste in names!

Sorry for off-topicness. I don't read the DM though I have been known to peruse the sidebar of shame in my lunch hour...

Yy to the guardian. It brings me out in hives.
