"But these past few posts show exactly what I'm talking about, when the phrase 'Daily Mail Reader' is thrown around at people who dare to have a moral point of view about something, which disagrees with those of the people who throw the accusations."

McGrath, the key point is that, whatever their roots, the Mirror and the Guardian have substantially altered their editorial policies. The Daily Mail has the distinction of being thr newspaper of choice for neo-nazis and the BNP - make of that what you will, Lizzie. The Daily Mail does not represent people who have a "moral point of view". As my earlier links demonstrate, it is anti-immigration, anti- asylum-seeker, and fosters an atmosphere of paranoia and fear (usually of anyone who isn't white British). If you are a "keep England for the English" type, who abhors the effect that immigration and multiculturalism have had on Britain, then the Daily Mail is probably right up your street.

Please don't imply that, because I loathe a particular right-wing rag, I do not have a "moral point of view". My moral compass is very sound, thank you very much. The fact that I don't share the same set of values as you doesn't make my values less moral, or less valid.
