The post you are reporting:
I was watching 'Question Time' on TV a short while back, and one of the panellists was a Daily Mail columnist who insisted, whilst having a bit of a temper tantrum, that the Mail only printed the truth. Naturally, if a journalist (??) says this it must be true.
Anyway....on this forum alone, that rag has got its way and has caused trouble between the residents of Dover and Deal, all over a load of fabrications from the paper, and what I assume to be tongue-in-cheek comments from our posters.
It is journalism (for want of a better word) like this that allows the unpleasant tories to get votes, and allow scumbags like gove and hunt into powerful positions, because the rag-reading public get carried away by by the rhetoric with complete disregard for any facts. I believe that it was the Mail which printed the '£350 million per week for the nhs if we leave europe' story, which has since turned out to be a fabrication, but may have had enough influence at the time to sway the brexit vote.
It would be very sad if a scummy story, invented by a scummy journalist for a scummy 'newspaper' were to spoil this forum and cause members to leave.
It 's just a story, not the truth !
