THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR) :: View topic

As folk on here will already know, I read The Mail almost every day, and I live by this maxim. Whatever The Mail thinks, I think the opposite. Today for example Sarah Vine tells us that Notting Hill Carnival MUST be banned. Late middle aged, upper middle class white woman who was once married to a Tory minister, opines on something that working class black people enjoy.

Equally as much their take on the BBC's outstanding Sherwood this week. Universally praised as probably the telly of the year, but on in The Mail. 'Viewers Slam Woke Reboot'. Apart from the fact that it's not a 'reboot' the fact that there are two lesbian characters says more about their 50's mindset than Vine's take on something that's absolutely nothing to do with her.

I guess if the aforementioned gay couple were 'showcasing their endless legs' or some such rubbish they might they may have viewed things differently.

Well that takes the prize for the most stupid headline in media history. Banner front page headlines of the Mail :- "Have Labour lost control of the Unions" Barbara Castle tried and they destroyed her.

It will always be a joke, but most mainstream media is. Also, try telling that to the working class 32 year old woman who was stabbed in front of her child. Or the numerous shops run by working class people of all faiths and cultures that are boarded up and not open on what should be the busiest time of year for them. Or the working class people who live there where their front doors were practically pissed on by pissed up wankers who were caught on a ring doorbell. Or the police who were assaulted just doing their job. Normalise the crime nobody will think anything is wrong. Does it need to be cancelled? No probably not. Do the organisers need to wake up and sort this shit out. Of course they do. But I guess tradition gets in the way of common sense.

What online or print press outlet is absolutely fine by everyone to read unironically without judgment? People criticise Mail readers. People criticise Guardian readers. People criticise red top readers (I'll agree with that one)
