I think the Mail's response to Paperchase is worth quoting: "it is deeply worrying that Paperchase should have allowed itself to be bullied into apologising - on the back of a derisory 250 Facebook comments and 150 direct tweets - to internet trolls orchestrated by a small group of hard left Corbynist individuals seeking to suppress legitimate debate and impose their views on the media". We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Could look it that way, or you could accept Paperchase as large business with £100m of revenue last year who are quiet capable of making a commercial decision and wieghed up the the pros and cons of a link up with the Mail and decided it wasn't worth it. Aagain Paperchase haven't been bullied they have acted to protect currrent revenue against potential revenue and made that decision freely. One supporter of hacking argued that without it "you will do away with the courage and pluck of the game, and I will be bound to bring over a lot of Frenchmen who would beat you with a week's practice -Blackheath secretary at first meeting of the F.A

Originally posted by hedgehog50 Yes they do - against anyone who votes Tory, anyone who eats meat, anyone who thinks a real marriage is between a man and a woman, bakers who don't support same sex 'marriage', anyone who voted for Brexit, anyone who thinks the South African government is a bit dodgy, anyone who thinks uncontrolled immigration is damaging to the country, and against white working class people in general. Where are all these bigoted bakers? If you're talking about Paul Hollywood dressing up as a Nazi he's already apologised for that.

Edited by hedgehog50 (21 Nov 2017 10.32am) Where as the right wing media do nothing of the sort, like stoking Islampobia, mocking Remainers and using thinly veiled racist rhetoric. The Daily Mail is a paper with magnificent journalism, well researched, corroborated stories with well checked and verified sources. Its a s**t rag, like The Mirror, The Sun, The Express, The Standard, The Morning Star etc. If it was the Times or The Telegraph, you might have a fair point.
