[Closed] Today's moral dilemma.

Yes.

But you have to buy the Guardian or Morning Star too, balance innit?

Yes. No. Yes. No.

No.

Yes.

Erm. No.

(I'd almost prefer to pay full price for the lego and not buy the DM personally)

depends what you intend doing with the paper afterwards?
what i mean is, you cant recycle it as it may infect other literature and you cant burn it as its particles could end up in the food chain. as far as im aware the only safe thing is to encase it in concrete for 15000 years

I did ask if I could pay for it and then put it back.

I wouldn't. Buying it means contributing to increased circulation figures and making the bile filled rag more popular with advertisers.

We bought it for the free Lego a few years ago. Outside of the newsagent I grabbed it out of my wife's hands and dumped it straight in the bin. As she is foreign I had to explain why I took such drastic action. To be honest it's not that I wanted to politically censor it, more that I knew what a bad mood it would have put her in 🙂

I wouldn't give a toss about morals but please don't read it, it will only make you unhappy 🙁

It's a risk. What if someone you know sees you?

I pick up the Sun on Sundays for my mum (she only gets it for the TV guide). I keep meaning to carry another magazine to hide it inside that I'd be less embarrassed to be seen with, like Razzle.

Is it ok to buy the daily mail in order to get a free lego x-wing

I feel unclean.

Depending on how greedy you are as a person really.

Most people can be bought with some incentives/money etc.

Yes, go buy it you know you want it.

It is a Lego x-wing so nicceeee.

No it's ****ing not.

It's probably costing them money to do this. It'll be a loss leader, hoping to generate new sales. So if you only ever buy it when there's a free Lego toy then you will be costing them money. More than if you never buy it at all.

Yes buy and put paper in recycling thus taking it out of circulation.

Steal it

That's not the one .

Yes buy and put paper in recycling thus taking it out of circulation.

Ay?

"...greedy ..." is the wrong description. (trying to translate from one language is not easy sometimes)

Should be "... tempted ...".

Depending on how tempted you are to change your views to buy something from the "right".

How does it work,do you need a voucher?
My parents get that paper. I can get their voucher.

I gave it straight back to the assistant in the shop when I last did that - from the reaction I was far from the first. Morally justified in the way molgrips described.

You've bought so therefore boosting their sales figures which means the advertisers are attracted to them so the Daily Mail survives, what you do after bought it means nothing to them.

what you do after bought it means nothing to them.

Or me, carry on

Buy it, keep the Lego, recycle paper. The increased circulation figure will lead to a short term increase in ad revenue which will then hopefully dramatically fall away when advertisers realise their ads aren't effective. You get Lego, the dirty Mac loses money! Win

My old boss used to get confused when we used to refuse to get him the mail from the office cafe. He thought it was a great paper...

No. You're funding the nutjobs. It's people not taking their responsibilities as members of society seriously that has landed us in the Brexit mess.

Bottom line is, you'd be no better than Michael Gove.

So, what is the must read STW approved paper(inc Scottish) ❓

At work we pass various papers around the mess room, they are all very samey...........

It's a risk. What if someone you know sees you?

They won't know if it's wrapped in a Razzle or similar top shelf publication.

That's the thing nowadays, printed news is a day or days behind the Internet 🙄

I asked me eldest son - who loves Star Wars more than I do and he's 30 - to..... buy two copies, remove x-wings, put on rubber gloves, soak papers in petrol and then set fire.
Should have told him to gather as many ashes as possible and encase them in concrete - curse of Dacre and all that.
According to Private Eye he will live longer than Dracula.....................

Mrs Pondo reads it of a weekend. 🙁 She is otherwise a creature of beauty and wisdom, but I really hate that she buys it.
