Out of interest, which military dictatorships ban the Daily Mail?

You did read the article which said that the withdrawal was because the DM was withdrawing bulk sales, so this probably wasn’t BA’s decision? I expect BA would like as many free papers to hand out as they can get.

What is it about the Daily Mail that every time it is mentioned on the forum, it is discussed/condemned with language that’s just as hateful, prejudicial and polarising as one would (allegedly) read in the publication itself ?

If that is so then I am fine with that, athough the intent was not completely clear from how I saw it, I am also fine with people expressing their opinions, however I feel that it is overstepping the mark when you are claiming that everyone has the same opinion. For the record I have no real opinion on any of the papers as they all seem to give the same, objective, sports scores which is all I tend to read in them.

I was making the point that there must be a serious interest in the DM as it is constantly mentioned in this forum and there are probably more links to it than to any other on-line newspaper. It is relentless.

Even if you didn't get the irony of the comment, a flippant throwaway comment I might add because I seriously do not understand what is the benefit of having less choice of newspapers in a lounge,I cannot understand why you would extrapolate that I was acting like I knew everyone's views from that one line!

Tend not to pay the Telegraph much notice other than enjoying the crossword on occasions. Dropping anything Mail related is excellent news as I find it a vile bile soaked comic that is best avoided.
