A story criticizing Matthew Wright for joking about the death of a teenager in Scotland comes complete with a clip of the remarks.

I wonder if the Mail are really offended by Wright or are they just using the story to knock Channel 5 because it is owned by Richard Desmond.

I'm quite happy to watch Rothermere and Desmond knock lumps out of each other if I'm honest.

There's been a lot of critisism in the comments of their relentless BBC battering recently, so perhaps they just see it as a great opportunity to attack someone new and make them appear a little less beeb-obsessed until it all cools down a bit.

This comment caught my eye, it seems an unfortunate but understandable reaction to me.

I wonder if that's our own LottieZero who describes herself as "Further North than you, probably" Stornoway seems a fairly strong contender for that title.

Seems to me to be confected offence. All Wright seems to have done is to pick up (albeit pretty crassly) on the fact that the crime was committed in the Scottish highlands, and frivolously referenced the well-known phrase from the long-running Scottish police drama series, "there's been a murder". Factually, that's entirely accurate - there really had been a murder. The light-heartedness was, probably just in passing, about Scotland and the Scots, not the murder itself, I'd say.

There's a long and honourable tradition in UK society of dealing with harsh reality via gallows humour - "if you didn't laugh, you'd cry". Surely that was all this was, but it's now been scandalised where there was no need to do so.

In summary, just more bollocks.

Exactly.
"There's been a murder" must be one of the most popular phrases for irritating English people trying to put on a Scots accent, can a nation have a catchphrase I wonder?
If it had been in Oxford no doubt there would have been a Morse reference.

She's at it again: Veteran exhibitionist Kate Moss never tires of stripping for Pirelli calendar

You'd think with that disapproving tone, that they wouldn't give this filth the oxygen of publicity. So just the five photos and a video then, including an odd picture where the girl has a black square where her modesty should be.

From the above:

One has to hand it to the DM. It may act all moral and self-righteous but, by crikey, it comes up with the goods. Whether it's pretending to be a fashion spread, an update on a young actress or, as here, an article about an 'arty' calendar, there's always wall-to-wall undressed young tottie on this site. It's so good, I've even cancelled my top shelf subscription at the village newsagents.

Disapproving, apart from the bit where they describe it as 'stunning'

Could the Mail resist the impulse to show us the front covers of these mags? Of course not.

The most intense taekwondo fight ever! Battling toddlers become a YouTube sensation (but nobody was hurt in the making of this film!)

Quote:

As viral YouTube videos go, it is a strong contender for the one with the most misleading title.
The footage entitled 'The most intense taekwondo fight ever!' may suggest a brutal no-holds-barred fight to the finish, but the reality is far less violent and much more hilarious.
The minute-long video, thought to have been filmed in Japan, shows two battling toddlers air-kicking at each other while adult spectators chuckle off-camera at the youngsters' exploits.

Yes, whilst they clearly aren't touching each other they were at no more risk of fighting then those boys involved in the "cage fighting" incident in Preston last September. It had Mail readers foaming at the mouths despite the fact it was a heavily controlled bout of submissions where no striking took place. No worse than at a judo practise. Of course, people jump on the bandwagon because it's MMA with no understanding of the sport. Yet the comments for this article are saying the polar opposite.

"Youtube clip name makes people think kids are beating the crap out of eachother, but they aren't, and hete's the clip anyway."

Biggest load of non-story bollocks ever.

The Mail is always keen to get law breakers locked up behind bars yet are soon moaning when they realise how much it cost to lock them up. The Mail also like the idea of private companies running public services yet it is clear in this case that the private company is charging a lot more to provide secure accommodation for young people on remand than public sector providers.

So what point do you think Paul Dacre is trying to make with this story?
