How to write a Daily Mail story: the D-list celebrity attack
THE Daily Mail begins the year as it will surely go on. Omar Khyami used to date vapid aide to bikini tarmacing Tamara Ecclestone. The paper’s headline oozes:
Facing 2013 alone… Tamara Ecclestone’s balding ex Omar Khyami looks stressed as tries to relax poolside in Miami
This one’s got the lot: the snide remarks on physical appearance, the D-list subject, the naked flesh and the story created by a paparazzi photo of a man being “stressed” as a paparazzi snapper takes his photo…

Daily Mail proves that Global Warming is a thing of the past, which is nice
THE Earth is no longer going to drown under the weight of melted poles according to the Daily Mail (although, Poles are still obviously a massive threat to the very fabric of some imagined Britishness), which is wonderful news for us all! We can now drive our cars and leave our TVs on standby without fear of making our gill-less children die in a human-imposed watery grave!

Below the headline “Has Apple opened a Sangatte?” and a photo (see left) of people queuing up in London’s Covent Garden for the new iPhone 5, Litteljohs notes:
If you want a graphic illustration of how unfettered immigration has changed the demographic make-up of Britain, look no further than the picture in Saturday’s Mail of the crowd waiting for the Apple store in London to open.

Daily Mail says Anders Breivik has escaped jail
WHEN the Daily Mail told us that Amanda Knox had lost an appeal against her conviction for the murder Meredith Kercher, we wondered how the paper could have gotten it so wrong? Then Anders Breivik was sentenced to 21 years prison time for the murders of 77 people and the Mail told us the killer had avoided jail because the court had ruled him insane.
Where does the Mail gets its information from? It’s almost as if the paper makes it up in the drive to be first on the web…

An entirely astonishing observation on cheap flights from the Daily Mail
DID you read the news in the Daily Mail? No, amazingly it’s not that cancer causing immigrants damage house prices. Nor even that immigrants raising house prices cure cancer. Rather, it’s that markets work:
Holiday money firms are setting sneaky traps as part of a £720 million racket in rip-off fees for families going abroad, Money Mail has found.
The tricks are set to catch out hundreds of thousands jetting off on a post-Olympics break and, in particular, will shock many who took out pre-paid cards in the belief they were a cheaper alternative to expensive bank cards.
Firms are also making bigger profits by charging poorer exchange rates to travellers who live outside London or travel from cheap-flight airports.
The thing about cheap flight airports is that they are small airports. They’re not the vast retail emporiums that Heathrow or Gatwick are. And the thing about not London in this here UK is that they’re all smaller towns. With fewer shops in them.
