    How can anyone take this seriously???

  2. Opinion Pole

    I’ve been away a while, but it seems the Express has deteriorated in ‘quality’ in the past few months. Euro ‘Idiots’?? Hardly fitting language.

    More PC gone mad! If we want to hunt a species into extinction then that’s our God-given right as Englishmen, and Johnny Foreigner should have no say in it. Now let’s not have anymore of the ‘elf ‘n safety, PC, made up lefty liberal BBC ZanuLaBliar nonsense about balancing ecosystems and other rubbish.

    Oh dear or dear or dear!

    What a quality newspaper.

    Those damn Euro Idiots and their Guardianista ways!

    Judging by the lovely picture that accompanies the caption, surely, that should read, “Inside – eight pages of fantastic FAMILY travel offers.”

    I love they way they use these stock photos to depict their sanitized readership. Just like they use the same picture of mildly scruffy looking guys standing at the back of a lorry every time to depict migrant workers.

  5. Matt Hurst

    Surely this isn’t actually there frontpage………

  6. Mail Man

    Of course.

    The economic advisors (world leading giats that they so obviously are…..in their own minds at least) at the DE are so right and everyone else so wrong.

    Govs all around the globe face financial melt-down but here in the UK it’s just cue for a tory bash.
    As cheap and lame an exercise in pathetic point-scoring, but laughably only preaching to their dwindling band of converted, as always.

  7. Moggie

    The Express aiming for a Sun-like level of wit… and failing. How sad is that?

  8. Kiz

    Bullshit headline. They’re so desparate to attack Brown, they’ll resort to any level of stupidity to get their point across. As Steve said, how anyone can actually believe this is amazing.

    In other news, let’s bash the idiotic EU, but still give away free holidays to Europe that take advantage of the EU’s open travel policy.

    Suprisingly though, no hateful article about Obama today, saying “Let’s not allow this evil darkie to rule the world!” That said, if it was McCain or any other right-wing, white politician, they’d have a huge pull-out special and congratulatory front page about it instead of completly ignoring it. Let’s just wait and see if they bother reporting it tomorrow.

  9. Original Paul

    The Beano was of a higher standard.

  10. CC

    Not even bothering to hide their editorial opinion dressed up as impartial reporting nowadays. This is a sign of a desperate rag. I would love it, LOVE IT, if they went down.

  11. Sarah

    Look at us we’re soo funny! I’m sorry, that attempt to put a hat on Darling and Brown via photoshop is shit. It doesn’t even look good. Darling looks like he has no neck.

    The ‘Euro idiots’ want quotas on fisheries so the slow twindling of fish stock won’t rapidly increase. I’m pretty sure that’s been EU policy for a while.

  12. NJH

    That’s not even a very good Photoshopped picture.

  13. Andy H

    I read the Angling story and it seems that what europe is planning is quite a good idea, i.e. quotas for skippers of boats that take out anglers, not inland course fishing or beach casting. (Dispite this they have a picture of someone course fishing. D’oh

  14. tcobo

    the daily express continues its desperate slide from newspaper to comic. maybe the rumours of its impending death have not been exaggerated.

  15. Kiz

    Agreed, today’s the day the ‘world’s greatest newspaper’ officially became a comic. A serious newspaper (or even a tabloid) doesn’t superimpose hats or other objects onto real pictures.

  16. Mr Mordon

    ‘Judging by the lovely picture that accompanies the caption, surely, that should read, “Inside – eight pages of fantastic FAMILY travel offers.” ‘

    Yep, just add the word ‘white’ as well

    Also, isn’t that Laurel & Hardy pic the same as one used by one of our forum members, but with Darling & Brown rather than Blair & Bush?

  17. MatthewS

    Its becoming increasingly hard to parody this newspaper, its like its actively trying to self destruct!

  18. Cyburn

    Look the Daily Express is only 20p!!!!

    But I still aint gonna buy it.

  19. Matthew

    I hope those are all ‘British beach’ holiday offers and not anywhere
    where they speak ‘foreign’ and use a funny currency…….

  20. Goat

    That’s the worst front page I’ve ever seen, even from a rag like this. My god.

  21. Matt Hurst

    Anyone see todays frontpage….Everyone goes with Obama but to be different The Express chooses some small car as their main picture

  22. Marcus

    I remember seeing a Daily Express board once with the headline “House Prices Tumble” and in the corner “Only 50p”. Slightly misleading.

  23. hel

    matt hurst – is it a white fiat uno by any chance? ;)

  24. Sarah

    I seen that! I couldn’t believe it! Are the Express so badly loosing money that they put a car on the front?

  25. Steven

    This will be remembered as the day the Express finally jumped the shark.

    …actually, scratch that, they repeatedly jump the shark and then go around and do it even higher most days, but this time I think they managed to jump two sharks, a whale and a small yacht.

  26. Moggie

    Jumped the shark? They’ve jumped the entire Chondrichthyes class, and are steadily working their way through the rest of the Chordata.
