I thought it might be an idea to have a thread dedicated to this so that we can let people know when an unmoderated story turns up and we can therefore be sure of getting some sensible comments posted.

How about starting with this story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... jail.html#

Perhaps a chance to get in a few kicks against the prisons-are-luxury-hotels brigade?

Fill your boots. Some good comments pondering Cameron's meaning of "liking the odd fag".

Respec' to the Cam.

Lots of idiots who would rather that cops left valuable stuff in unlocked cars than that they took it away to the copshop and left a note suggesting to the drivers that maybe it wasn't a great idea.

On the Cameron story there's this good one;

Quote:
M T Hatcher, I do have a job and don't sponge off the taxpayers. I read the Mail during my lunch hour, my children are also in full time employment, and if my parents were still alive they would be ashamed of what this country has become over the last 12 years
- Carol, Chalfont St Peter England,

If your parents were alive, they would probably be ashamed that you read tabloids with such belief and that as a result you've let yourself believe in the fictitious state of the country that has been fed to you and that you've blindly accepted as fact . A friend stopped reading the tabloids and almost instantly forgot that he was supposed to be a victim and no longer saw or looked for about 95% of the negative tripe that he used to be fed. Needless to say, he's a much better conversation maker now

Optimist of the day turns up on the story about the police:

AND HOW MANY TIMES DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY, IT IS NOT THEFT IF THERE IS NO INTENTION TO "PERMANENTLY DEPRIVE"? SURELY DAILY MAIL READERS ARE NOT THIS THICK???!!!!
- Jonathan, Hull, UK, 25/8/2009 18:52

Sorry, Jonathan, they really are exactly as thick as you fear.

If there was a comment of the year award that would surely be on the shortlist. :D

Shouldn't this thread be called:

"Mailwatchers can turn harmless stories into a political swipe but it wasn't them who started it"

?

Funny isn't it - if this had happened in the UK, the Daily Mail readers would be screaming from the rooftops about the "evil Police". However, it has happened in the USA... so it's ok is it?

Is this guy one of us?

Never mind commentators mentioning Gordon Brown, I'm sure if a similar situation were to arise today, a certain leader of a certain political party who have just gained their first seats in the European Parliament would become a modern day Lord Haw Haw.

I'm sure it'll get removed before long.

For some reason this is in the Science & Technology section...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... Earth.html

Is this Nessie on Google Earth?

Er, no, it's clearly a boat.

It's either a BOAT or Gordon Brown's ego running aground!!!!! There is obviously not much in the news today.

I am a scientist (and not a questionable recent graduate) and I've just come back from a week monster hunting at the loch. Those who dismiss this do not have enquiring minds so by definition are NOT scientists. This is a boat that has been at rest and has just started it's engines. The triple wash at the back is the giveaway with the propeller producing the characteristic three pronged wash (an animal will produce two prongs). Also, there has never been a report of a light toned animal and even if slightly below the surface the object would still be dark. The only things of interest here are: 1) The fact that ONLY one boat is visible in the shot with there being so many tourist boats out in the summer and 2) The apparent activity to the left of the main object. Not worthy of an article in the newspaper however.
