    Why is a man who had an affair front page news? 3D TV is not new or current news either, I seriously doubt Mandelson said that in the context implied, and I don’t need a headline about what the weatherman told me about 3 days ago.

    Who reads this bollocks anyway?

    Why the big red ALL?

  3. Original Paul

    The red ink is back!

    Some snow chaos would be nice, but it’s all melted. I was off work yesterday sick and didn’t get to enjoy any of it.

    It’s a shame that the snow chaos didn’t prevent the Express journos from getting to work. With any luck, this tabloid tripe- and the Mail as well- will be snowed in.

    Thought people would appreciate this very amusing Guardian article on a URL on the Express website…or look out for the monkeyblog at Guardian online:

    Who gives a fuck!!!? Really?!

    Plus – who is Mandy? That’s not Mandy in the picture it’s Peter Madelson.

    So that’s the new Express slogan: “utter cock, as usual”. I like it!

    “It’s a shame that the snow chaos didn’t prevent the Express journos from getting to work”

    You don’t still believe that the Express employs actual journalists do you? Everyone knows, Richard Desmond justs presses a button on his ‘automatic Express article’ generator every evening.

    The Express, like the Mail, have twisted this issue for all its worth. I’m not a fan of Mandelson, but I don’t believe he said those words about UK workers being not up to scratch.

  11. Matt Hurst

    Having read the article about Peter Mandleson’s statement yesterday he didn’t say that, he warned that if we bowed to this demand it would effect the many UK workers working in the EU.

    But you’ll never get that reported.

    That ALL just made me yell

  13. hel

    they’ve just blown half their red ink supply on that ALL.

    This is a use of the word ‘paralysed’ that I haven’t previously encountered. ‘Not paralysed’ might have been closer to the truth.

    How is the snow front page news? I agree that it should be reported in a prominant position because of the disruption it may cause and to help people decide on upcoming plans. But the front page should be saved for proper news, like this.

    Anyway, as several people have already pointed out, the red ink’s back. We’re not all idiots like DE ‘journalists’ think, we can read the headline without exacerbating the ‘all’ in huge read letters. But I thought the red ink was reserved for immigration and Maddy headlines?

    Luby Lu-Proof that the Express invents stories, now that even they’re acknowledging it. The story with that URL in can be found here.

    James M-Nah, I was hoping that as well, but their journalists probably sleep in the Daily Express building in case of emergencies like this. Plus it stops them from getting pelted with stones and eggs on the street by sensible-thinking people.

    Sorry for the triple post, but I’ve just seen that they’ve taken that cock-up article down. No suprise there. They obviously thought it would be best to do a u-turn and remove it, rather then suffer the humiliation of it being the butt of jokes for the rest of the week.
