    the woman who’s had all her teeth out is in the “good health” section of the paper. are they trying to be ironic?

    Middle classes desperate to sell homes because they paid too much for them in the first place, just to get little tarquin into the ‘right’ school.

    Excuse me whilst I completely fail to sympathise.

    Oh no! Middle-class families* in realising-they’ve-left-it-a-bit-late-to-downsize-and-now-it’s-all-McStalin’s-fault shocker!

    * No doubt they’re families. Anyone who doesn’t have two white kids and a 4×4 just isn’t worth reporting on.

    I wonder if the middle class people desparate to sell their homes are the same ones that the Mail told that they should invest more than they could afford, houses being the best investment man could imagine.

  5. Original Paul

    After years of ramping up house prices by the Mail their readers bubbles burst.

    Well. Bugger me!

    There’s me, often sympathising at the plights of many people in this world. The underdogs that have to fight and strive and suffer to try and achieve what can be classed as a half decent standard of living. Clearly, my sympathies have been wasted on the wrong people.

    These poor, poor “middle classes” that spent too much on their houses in the first place are now “loosing” out, sort of, only slightly. I mean, it involves whole “families” and everything.

    The true horrors of the 21st century! I can barely take the full awfulness of this in! Oh Christ! Help us to help them!

    Can we set up a Mail Watch Crusade? Would having Littlejohn for PM help in some small way? What can we all do? Questions, Questions! We must find answers to help these poor people.

    This is clearly seen as a true atrocity in DM world. The 200 odd migrants that drowned the other week, clearly is not a patch on this heavy shit!

    I’m annoyed about the ‘Slur Emails’ but I’m hardly surprised that this goes on. They all bloody do it.

  8. Sarah

    Btw, I found this shocker.

    The Mail has discovered the word “compete” and “migrant” in the same sentence. I wish they’d do that for other articles when they seem imply migrants jump out of bushes and steal jobs.

    Oh, the plight!

    Try having a look at the other end of the scale. I won’t be able to afford a single room much longer.

    Get. Some. Perspective.

    “I’m annoyed about the ‘Slur Emails’ but I’m hardly surprised that this goes on. They all bloody do it.”

    Agreed. It’s ridiculously naive to think gits like McBride haven’t been at it for years (for the Tories too and before ‘97).

    Sadly, like the expense account abuse, it’s no worse than we expect from the political class.

    So, given that any real alternatives to these kinds of people have been priced out of politics, revolution’s looking like quite an attractive idea!

  11. Rob

    Oh Noes!!

    The Mail blame the NHS for this 21 year old girl losing all of her teeth due to gum disease, but I just can’t believe anyone can lose all of their teeth in this day and age when you can use toothpaste and toothbrushes.

    Also, why did she only try to find a dentist when it seemed her entire mouth was ruined and falling out?

    Funnily enough, the Mail fails to ask her any of these questions, instead they blame the NHS.

  13. Matt Hurst

    Oh and to think some of this country is in poverty, and before anyone mentions jealously, this isn’t about that alot of people are losing there houses, this just seems out of touch with the majority of Britain, a majority who can’t afford their own houses.

    The thing is the Tories lammented spin, amusing eh

    From within the leaves of the Mail itself (the digital one anyway) on the subject of the Mental Health Foundation report, In the Face of Fear,

    Harry Phibbs writes, “…It is true that a sense of proportion is needed. Our children might be abducted by paeodophile gangs, we might be killed in a plane crash, or struck by lightening, or attacked by terrorists. But these things are all highly unlikely…”

    I doubt that’ll be their screaming headline tomorrow though.

  15. Joe

    To be fair the privatisation of dentistry is possibly the worst healthcare descision made in this country in recent times.

    can’t get to see an NHS dentist? well, no, theyre all private- £60 for a consultation thankyou very much; the sad thing is mail readers see this as an argument AGAINST the NHS

  16. James M

    April 14th’s Scottish version of the Mail ran with a story about how Scotland’s bearing the brunt of job losses during the recession.

    Can’t see that appearing in the English edition, they’d be all jumping up and down with joy if they knew that!

  17. MatthewS

    I bet the Mail told her teeth caused cancer so she removed them all just in case.

  18. Matt Smith

    Poor middle class families who want to sell their home and move into a smaller one. At least they already have a house in the first place. I hope none of the homeless people in London who will be using discarded newspaper to keep warm tonight read this.

    “Funnily enough, the Mail fails to ask her any of these questions, instead they blame the NHS.”

    Why of course! Doctors are TEH EBIL and MUST BE STOPPED.

    In fact, when I go to my doctor tomorrow because of this awful infection I have, I’ll be sure to refuse to believe I have an infection and insist that I must have cancer – cancer is, after all, the only disease ever.
