Comment on UK's First Consumption Room Given Go Ahead.
Spendrill@lemm.ee 1 year agoTo be frank with you they need to rein in liberal media like the fucking Guardian also, those pricks are farming outrage to finance themselves. What we need is Levenson II and a regulatory body with bite. In fact the new regulatory body need to be about 90% teeth.

I totally agree. I don’t see the guardian as the worst culprit though.

Between The Sun, Mail, Express, Telegraph and Times it’s difficult to pick a worst. Sometimes I think it’s The Times because it’s still masquerading as a paper of record and so normalising ‘centrist’ positions that would have been well over to the right of the Overton window when I was a teenager.
The Mail… so, so easy to hate with its borderline paedophilia while all the while chuntering on about the subject, its cake and eat it objectification of ‘celebrity’ women while revelling in their eventual downfall, their constant pushing of the crab bucket quest for total ‘normality’, their screaming about things that will give you cancer while remaining staunch advocates of the birch for climate protestors who, objectively are trying to remove a lot of those carcinogenic agents… hypocrisy beyond compare.
The Telegraph, I think the telegraph are the worship of Mammon made into a broadsheet format. I see their unhinged ‘owning of the libs’ style diatribes and rounding up the middle to upper-middle class conservative faithful to vote for Brexit so that their owners would never have to pay a transactions tax on their investments as the other side of a pincer movement to normalise centrist position by showing how bugshit the ‘libertarian’ fringe’s ideas can be.
And then there’s the Express, the ‘I did it my way’ unapologetic racist neighbour of all the other papers.

I would not even open the mail, so this one has past me by. The Sun likes to forget it did a topless series on Sam Fox when she was 16, and led with a 6 week campaign beforehand, announcing it was coming.

There used to be a video online of a bloke doing a talk about the Daily Mail and the first minute and a half of the talk was just the bloke showing his collection of pictures of Suri Cruise who was about six at the time.
