Tattoos vs. "The Troops".

Mail readers hate tattoos, but by making negative comments about this man's tats will they be seen as running down "our boys"?

The military tattoo: Former soldier has names of every soldier killed in Afghanistan inked onto his body as mark of respect

The early signs suggest that the readers 'are prepared to overcome their inherent mistrust of tattooed people for this one.

Surely this is the perfect story to find out if Teh Muzlims beat Teh Gheys?

Gays will win easily.

I see those Muslims getting away with it again in that article.

Pregnant Polish migrant told British Muslim women wearing hijabs to 'go back to your own country' in drunken tirade
- Beata Jopek had been drinking vodka and screamed abuse at victims Hana Farah and Ithil Ibrahim
- Jopek and her boyfriend abused them on a train and she eventually pulled off one of their hijabs

Quote:

A pregnant Polish migrant launched a blistering racist verbal attack on two young Muslim women wearing hijab headscarves and told them to ‘go back to your own country’, a court heard. Drunk Beata Jopek shouted at the two passengers on a Yorkshire train, screaming ‘no-one wants you here, you are f****** disgusting.’ The British women were left ‘fearing for their safety’ as Jopek, 30, told one of them: ‘Take that f****** thing off, a white person wouldn’t do what you are doing.'

Mailites falling into line in the comments. This one is interesting because I would have assumed Polish>Muslim, with them being white, European and with a strong economy. Maybe I'm giving their knowledge of Poland too much credit...

Olympic Hero Cyclist Knocked Over By White Van Woman

Bit of a headscratcher here. Cyclists? Women Drivers? White Van People?

Who comes lowest on this totem pole?

Andy McDandy · **Posted:** Thu Nov 08, 2012 7:08 am

Not white van people. They're a key part of the readership.

Given the speed with which the Olympics and Team GB lost their sheen (they only held it temporarily)* in the eyes of the Mailites, I'd say van driver > woman > cyclist.

*Except for lovely Victoria Pendleton, slurp, drool.

I think you're right there, although the correct form should be "otherwise law-abiding" motorist > woman > cyclist

The Mail position on cyclists is a bit complex - the old lady on her bike with a basket, the village postie, the child that gets BANNED from cycling to school by H&S jobsworths, Victoria Pendleton... all would win any game of Mail Top Trumps. But lycra-clad MAMILs or hoodies on BMXs are the scum of the earth who jump red lights, ride on pavements and generally cause a nuisance to the hard-pressed motorist.

The crucial things being -

1. The bicycle cannot be viewed as a suitable mode of transport for a man. Fine for kids, old women, and as a piece of sporting kit ridden by everyone's favourite duchess of Cambridge semi-lookalike shit dancer; but not credible as a MAN vehicle for MEN doing MAN things.

2. On top of that, the bicycle cannot be seen as better in any way than a car - whether it be legal rights, speed, ability to zip in and out of traffic, it cannot be allowed to triumph! Because that's just like cutting your car's (and by extension your own) cock off.

An interesting bout...

Our Troops™ Vs Tattoos

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's noticed their irrational hatred of tattoos!

Any bets before the comments start appearing?

I think Our Troops™ will probably win this one.

Abernathy · **Posted:** Mon Nov 19, 2012 10:27 pm

I predict a good few comments about how it's all well and good him remembering his fallen comrades, but that the tat is over the top and common.

IMO, seems an odd thing to do, but if he gets a buzz from it, then why not? I just hope he won't regret it later.
