The Daily Mail exists on moral panics and fear.


Worst newspaper in the world and I dont think I am exagerating.

I haven't actually read all the newspapers in the world, but I would agree with regards to the ones I have read.

Did you hear Melanie Phillips talking about the bill on Radio Four this morning? Suddenly, she has this huge concern for the poor in order to back up her moralism.

I've been thinking about it and I'm not really in favour of the bill, but her arguments were pretty pathetic. State-owned casinos seems like a pretty good idea to me though, provided that there was legislation in place ensuring the money was distributed the less well-off, otherwise it would probably end up as redistribution of wealth the wrong way.
