Because the rich and powerful tend to hang around together?
It’s something that has come to be called ‘the establishment’. This is all very basic stuff that I’d expect journalists working on national newspapers to be aware of.
Oh come on – surely no-one expects the Mail to put the Middle East crisis on the front page? It’s taking place in a far away land of which we know nothing, and what can you expect of a bunch of foreign Johnnys? They weren’t even part of the Empire.
It seems tabloids like to stay away from the Arab-Israeli mess – it’s a complex diplomatic issue with no easy scapegoat-ey angle (eg: terrorists = BAD!), nor are “our boys” over there so there’s no knee-jerk mindless jingoism to be exploited.
jay: sadly not, I’m afraid. The Sun had “TERRORIST WAR ON ISRAEL” on its front page on saturday, and the editoral was err, attacking Jacques Chirac for daring to say that Israel’s response had been disproportionate.
Despite the increasing world crisis, the only thing the Mail can come up with is more crap about the PM. Good grief, in a few weeks we could be at war…mind you, they would probably blame him for that too.
At a time of exteme crisis in the Middle East all they can come up with is their favourite subject. Blair Baiting!
Dont forgot the posh totty on the front page too.
There’s something odd about the headline ..
TYCOONTONO1O..some sort of hidden meaning ?

Crisis? Not according to the Mail, which has a jolly cartoon of the recent events in that region on page 2.
Oh, and if you’re wondering what REALLY happened at the ball, well, nothing much happened. My source? The Mail.
Oh, and one headline reads “HOPE FOR MMR DOCTOR”. They won’t leave it alone.

did they have a big royal orgy, as queenie wasn’t there. i hope so.
she does look like a prim star gazer there though.

place your bets please

Page 94: Israel and Lebanon slide towards open war.
Also I assume that the red semicircle is referring to the way the Daily Mail writes.
I think “NO BOOKS! NO WRITING!” is my favourite promotional slogan of all time.
