Have just been sent this:

[url= http://www.****/news/article-2215507/Claire-Roundill-pregnant-affair-brothers-aged-15-17--doesnt-know-father-is.html ]Daily Mail Article[/url]

I don't see the words 'abuse' 'paedophile' 'predator' 'sickening' 'rapist' (I could go on) that accompany an article written about a man accused (but innocent by law until found guilty) of similar.

You're concerned about the Daily Mail having double standards? Its going to be a long afternoon if we have to list them all ๐Ÿ™‚

Not least Paul Dacre being the chair of the Editors Code of Practice Committee at the Press Complaints Commission whilst running stories pretty much daily that contravene that code.

your second failure was posting a link to it - let's all go and see what they've done now, and in the process increase their traffic and advertising revenue, incentivising them to publish more and more garbage designed to get a reaction.........

Do we really need to discuss this? If this happened to you when you were 15, you would be many many things. When you looked for words to try and describe these things, 'traumatised' or 'violated' are hardly likely to figure prominently

I was very concerned that the child appeared to be of a certain social 'type', if you know what i mean, and the lovely Dutchess could easily have been knifed or forced onto Crack because of her kind yet thoughtless actions.

I dread to think what the outcome could have been had the child been a member of a particular religious group as well.

Shocking.

I don't think so.

I was using the daily fail merely as an example of the wider mentality.

See! ๐Ÿ™„
