Imagine anyone pointing out that senior figures in the British military have some direct family party-political links.
If the daughter had been an advisor to a Labour minister (or, God forbid, McBrooon himself) I’m absolutely certain the DM would never say a word about it ever.
the mail still costs 50p, doesn’t it? because that would mean you have to spend £30 on it to get 60 tokens, which is a bit of a rip-off if you can get the same set-top box for £25 without any tokens. i wonder how many readers will pause to do the maths before taking out a 2-month subscription thinking they’re getting a good deal.
The mail is 50p per weekday and fuckloads more on weekends. Assuming the tokens are sequential over the next 60 days (or a few more if they offer leeway) it’ll cost nearer 40-45 quid than 30.
You can get cheap generic freeview boxes for 15-20 quid now. Even decent ones are less than 40 quid. This not-free free offer would only benefit people who were going to buy the paper anyway.
I smell a rat! Posted my tokens and cheque to the correct address, no acknowledgement, cheque not cashed, I should have sent it recorded delivery. Are the Daily Mail about to welch on their offer?
Nothing received yet ….nor the FIL in Cheshire whose area has already gone digital 4 weeks ago !…no word of the delay from theMail.
Anyone got one yet ????
my mother sent a postal order for full payment when originally advertised i think in October …… she has received noting
i have contacted daily mail who passed info on the distributor … on contact we got a automated message the free view box has been delayed and will be a valuable in December ……. more Lie’s …
we are still waiting
Update from ramon alban. I contacted Daily Mail Promotions on this Email – support@webfulfilment.com – and received this reply:

I suggest that dissatisfied peeps contact the promotions dept and raise a job ticket with you query.
They seem to respond promptly, even if the answer is not good news. Perhaps they need to be snowed with hundreds of queries or maybe get a consumer group onto them?
Re FREEVIEW boxes.
Cheque sent with appropiate coupons and cashed 6th November.
27th January and still no sign of the box.
Think I have made a mistake !!!!
Oh no, because the Mail would never set about to tarnish anyone’s name, ever. Ooh look, Princess Pushy’s back on the front page.
Anyway, all that aside, quite funny to see digiboxes explained to the Mail readership. Next Sunday: how to show your nan how and iPod works.
A plot to smear someone??? The devious bastards.
Probably commies.
A smear, how unusual for that to be seen in the Mail!
what are they going to smear her with! officers mess?.

As if.
She obviously ain’t fit/blonde/white, as otherwise we’d have got a photo.
Tomorrow: disgust at revalation someone in the government is paid £800k a year to write complete bollocks.
Never mind the headline, just look at all the lovely free shit.
That FREE set top box… Mum buys the paper so I had a look at the offer. All you have to do is pay 18 quid + tokens, or 23 quid.
So I am giving away for FREE my 20 inch computer monitor. All you have to do is send me 500 pounds cash.
Sorry my mistake.
It’s FREE with 60 tokens (1 per day), or 17 quid with 10 tokens, or 25 quid without tokens.
So it’s free if you buy the mail for 2 months. Or, another way to put it, not free.
Its free if you are already stupid enough to buy the daily mail for 2 months.
I am glad to see the Daily Mail taking the moral high ground smearing is terrible *sarcasm*

on another topic, mail fail: http://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/news/090908katepong.shtml
Do you think you get any of the BBC channels on the Mail Digi Box?

Surely it should be “More than 100 channels INCLUDING digital radio”.
Or is everyone else’s FreeView box getting a lot more TV than mine?
Yes i did collect all the tokens, but when do we get the delivery of the “free set top box” any one out there who knows the answer?
I collected the coupons and sent them to the address given ,as required, together with a cheque for the postage. When will I receive the set top box?
i collected the coupons and also sent a cheque for postage on the 07/11/09, still waiting.
I am also in the queue for Set Top Box.
At least cheque does not seem to have been cashed
