Here's a taster:

"...before viewers dozed off to the procession of banana republics and far-flung destinations nobody has ever heard of or even cares for."

So,[url= http://www.****/debate/article-2180124/Olympics-opening-ceremony-NHS-disgracefully-glorified.html?ito=feeds-newsxml ]Daily mail or Daily mash?[/url]

I frequently buy the mail thinking it's a print version of the mash

Unbelievable article, Rick (with a silent P) Dewsbury should be called to withdraw and publish an apology for such a piece, and his blatant racism

Unfortunately the kind of politically driven multiculturalism we saw last night is the kind of social engineering we have come to expect.

Thankfully we also have right nasty bigots to fight the good fight

More importantly did watching it give or cure cancer?

Do people take the daily fail seriously? Ever? I always thought it was printed as a rather poor sixth year parody of satire by a fairly obnoxious and faintly (very) malicious teen? Shouldn't it just be left in the corner and ignored?

My dad and his missus do sadly 😳

Despite me demonstrating on several occasions that the issue they are getting all frothy about is entirely fictitious.

Frothy folk froth.
Some with the Mail, some against it.
Some with the Guardian, some against it.
Outraged.

The mail isn't racist it's xenophobic. People who like the mail don't know what the word xenophobic means. 😉

Sorry...

The page you have requested does not exist or is no longer available

Hmmmm... it seems to have "gone away".

Doesn't even seem to feature in his list of recent articles:
http://www.****/debate/article-2150735/columnist-1067089/Rick-Dewsbury.html

Not like the Daily Mail to re-write history or anything 😀

It seems the article was re-written to be less racist, then pulled completely.
http://botherer.org/2012/07/28/the-daily-mail-and-how-an-nhs-death-means-racism-is-fine/

They removed this bit
“This was supposed to be a representation of modern life in England but it is likely to be a challenge for the organisers to find an educated white middle-aged mother and black father living together with a happy family in such a set-up.”

Am I the only one that is slightly dissapointed that there isn't a real website called "Mail or Mash" where you can guess lots of articles?

That would be awesome!

Is anyone actually surprise by this? The Mail has been a racist hate filled paper for decades!

On that note Mash or Beeb press release:

A BBC spokesman said: “Trevor’s style is a hybrid of commentary and beat poetry that appeals simultaneously to sports fans, soul music heads and lovers of avant garde spoken word performance who claim the BBC isn’t supporting niche arts.
