Oh, for crying out loud!, The Daily Mail [which btw I don't read -- I take the Times becoz I like its crosswords best] is only a newspaper, with a particular slant on the news; slightly rightwards, but no more tendentious than is *The Guardian's equally leftward one. Why the Mail is commonly so monsterised by the Professional-Leftie-Brigade is a constant cause of considerable wonderment to many!

*to which I was a regular contributor of theatre, book & folk reviews,as also The Times, for ¼+C... I have probably mentioned here before that, at one Cambridge Folk Festival, Maurice Rosenbaum, a member of the Communist Party but the definitely right-wing Daily Telegraph's longtime folk critic, and I, who was there to review it for far further left The Guardian, once agreed that if there were any sort of sense in the Universe we would swop papers; but that's just not the way things work...
