    That’s good. The bankers have taken the Mail’s focus away from us similarly greedy public sector workers with our £80,000 a day pensions and 3000% per annum pay increases.

    Dammit – a course to support teenage mums and ensure that they leave school with at least some qualifications (including those in literacy and numeracy that are needed for pretty much any job)? That’s so obviously immoral. It’s much better that one mistake made as a 14 year old blights a woman’s entire life.

    I knew the goodwill for Andrew Sachs couldn’t last…..

    As for the course, maybe such a course will put many off having a baby, Sleepness nights and so on.

    I think it needs reasserting, but the Mail will just think it’s a New Labour plot to get working class kids to fuck the system over once the Tories get in.

    Hey hey it’s BLAND BLONDE CORNER

    A recycled version of the headline that tried to do too much:

    GOLDMINE (fill your) SACHS

    Appeared a few months back.

    The story about teenage mums (see top header) is a beaut. Of course the qualification isn’t a GCSE at all, but I suppose that suggesting it does meets the DM viewpoint that GCSEs are worthless, as they do them in “Spice Girl Studies” and “How to speak Muslim”.

    The comments are the usual fare of “broken britain” (sic), “lack of morals” and random claims that ZaNuPCElfAndSafetyLoveDarkiesLabore want us all on benefits, so we’re easier to control. Or some such crap.

    When you have to spend 18 words explaining the headline before you actually get to it, you know it’s an absolutely fucking useless one.

    The blonde story here is less than pointless.

    The top story is so inaccurately reported I could hit someone, and the feature article has been formatted in a way a 4 yr old would be ashamed of.

    Does anyone at the Daily Mail have any iota of journalistic skill??

    A quote re: teenage mothers: ‘…the fact remains that, however the girl takes it, she has been robbed. She has been swept suddenly from childhood into womanhood. I find that saddening. No chance to stretch her wings. She has to miss the age of true poetry.’
    ‘One would like to agree – but, in point of fact I doubt it,’ said Mr Leebody. ‘Not only are poets, active or passive, rather rare, but it suits more temperaments than our times like to pretend to go straight from dolls to babies.’ (’The Midwich Cuckoos’ by John Wyndham, published in 1957)
