    Lie (singular) surely?

    As for the ‘Great Kate Moss Con’, isn’t it a little late for the Mail to be questioning post-modern capitalism?

  2. larry

    most DM readers think hubris is a mediterean dip made from olive oil.

  3. famaf

    what the hell does that headline mean? Is it just the title of the next shoddy DVD they’re giving away?..

  4. Adrian

    The Express announces that a quarter of the population is dead, and now the Sun King has fallen…

    It’s like something out of Revelations.

  5. Kate

    The alternative headline being: “How we helped a dirty poofter resign.”

    The whole sorry episode is just one long tale of the Daily Mail’s sister paper getting all prurient over a powerful man having a relationship with another man. If he’d had a relationship with a woman he wouldn’t have felt obliged to lie about their meeting in a courtroom and it certainly wouldn’t be front page news.

    That headline sounds like a Tintin adventure.

  7. TonyB

    Who would ever have thought that the editor of the MoS and Peter Tatchell would end up in bed together as fellow outers?

  8. Paul

    That headline is bizzare.

  9. JSES

    Bizarre indeed, but necessary – he’s got lots of money but he’s a fudge packer! How dare he!

  10. famaf

    seriously, what the hell does the headline mean?who’s the sun king?
    I thought he was boss of BP….

  11. Purgatory

    Is ‘Man Lies in Court’ really national news? Ah, it’s because he’s a dirty great poofter, a company exec, and got in the way of the MoS when they wanted to publish a story about him. Tssk.

  12. Purgatory

    edit: I meant front-page rather than national…

  13. northernrob

    That’s the most stupid headline i’ve ever read,and regards the moss article, it’s just liz jones’ bitternes boiling over. You’re not part of the fashion glossies anymore, live with it!
    Her and the croydon cokehead are as pointless as each other….
    ooh, the footballs starting!

  14. Leo

    And where was the screaming front page when there was recently stinging criticism of BP’s safety record after 15 people died and 500 were injured following an explosion at a BP refinery in Texas in 2005?

  15. JohnD

    Back in the ’60s, the Sun King was a fella mentioned on The Beatles’ Abbey Road album as part of a medley. Now the poor beggar, probably a pensioner, is part of a Daily Fail headline. How times change.

  16. Billy-Jo Remarkable.

    I wasn’t too sure if they were on about Ra, Louise XIV or Roop Murdock.

  17. CTerry

    Hysteria? You mean like what we get from the Daily Mail everyday?

  18. Daily Mail readers ‘misunderstood’

    [...] The Daily Mail is so fed up with people poking fun at its readers, it’s touring the UK’s public relations agencies in the hope they’ll put more advertorials (that is paid ‘editorial’ that proper PR people don’t dirty their hands with*) their way. The problem is that the advertising industry is beginning to question the quality of the Daily Mail’s readership, concerned that those who take its editorial seriously aren’t really the kind of people on which a marketing budget should be spent.
