The Mail is and always was a right wing rag.
"The Mail was editorially sympathetic to Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists".

"Journalist John Simpson, in a book on journalism, suggested that Rothermere was referring to the violence against Jews and Communists".
Still think they have ever had left wing leanings anyone? Let's not forget that this is the newspaper that has also championed, hanging, national service, the destruction of human rights, and called the disabled and sick lazy.
Nice people! I wonder why it is so popular? Talking to an American friend a while back who thinks that the Mail reflects British life, I hope not.
