On Diamond Jubilee weekend you need to ask this question?

For sure. My 80s nursery/first skool ran the same racket. Almost without exception, the flaxen-haired darlings queuing up to play Gabriel were the horrible children, so I wonder why the teachers wanted them in the best roles; parents demand blonde angels?
Among the dribblings of Mailtoss that stay in my head, I remember a couple of Aryans Only! specials. A totes scientific, honest, piece about eye colour which absolutely proved beyond doubt that blue-eyed folk are more intelligent. And a fashion spread gushing about yellow, but do a paper bag test before you put them on because 'it only really suits blue-eyed blondes'. Someone doesn't know their colour wheel.

Most of us have, it's just bitter dissaponted tits like Maria and papers like the Mail that haven't.

Which pesto is the besto? Middle-class Britain has a passion for pesto - but can you rely on the quality? We put top brands to the test-o

Contains some of the worst advice I've ever read from a 'nutritionist' not named McKeith.

'Pesto is becoming a staple in British kitchens'? It was certainly a staple in British student kitchens in the early 90s, it was the only thing that stopped me getting scurvy (that and the lime juice in my vodka).

They also compare different flavours of pesto so it isn't exactly comparing apples with apples is it?

And why the extra 'O' in "test"? Are they really that shit as to think that's funny? Oh yeah, sorry - of course.

Middle class and pregnant at 21? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Indeed, the author has struggled to find anyone who disapproves, and resorts to abstractions such as "Opinion" and "Everyone" to play the straw man. She ought to have been able to find some bitter feminists willing to condemn her, surely?


She's obviously a Mail reader.


She's obviously a Mail reader. Biology is not just destiny, it's a "stark fact". Able-bodied women are also physically better suited to child-bearing than disabled ones … you can see where this is heading.


If Mitzi had read the article, she'd have noticed that the author is, in fact, married. Not that it matters.

To be fair, I've seen a lot, and I mean a lot, of comments assuming a young mother is on benefits and has 10 other kids.

There's something very nasty and judgmental about that article, as far as I can see she is essentially just saying "Look, I'm a young mum but I'm a decent middle class lady so it's fine - young working class mothers...that's different - Don't you judge me, I may look like one of those scummy dole mummies but I'm not!"

I don't know who she is, but she and her no doubt perfect little angelic brood can shit off.

The Mailites don't seem to understand how the tax system works. Some are under the impression that the higher rate applies to a person's entire income.

The case study the Mail has chosen doesn't help. By my calculations, if inflation stays at 2.6%, John Bilbrough isn't "perilously close" to paying the higher rate. He won't have to pay it until 2015, and even then, he'll do so on less than £600, which is barely 1% of his salary. If he could continue to pay the lower rate on all his income, he would be about £120 better off — £10 a month.


That's simply not true. The tax they pay at the higher rate will amount to less than £240; meanwhile they'll have an extra £267 of untaxed income because of the rise in the personal allowance. If Helen's salary increases with inflation, the percentage of their earnings they pay as income tax will actually fall by a very small amount (from 13.53% to 13.49%). So they will be just as well off, while paying a fractionally smaller proportion of tax. If her salary does not increase, well, they would be worse off anyway, higher rate or no higher rate.

Since they have not been wronged, I think this qualifies as a sadface:

Fair play. They do look proper middle class. Even down to the grotesque blue jeans/shiny shoes combination.

Oi, they've got the same sofa as me! Mine was second-hand, though, and I've covered it in cushions.

Hmmm...
