If you couldn't get hold of a copy on a particular day, or the website was down, would it be a problem?

A first world problem.

No I don't think there would be rioting in the streets if the paper wasn't printed or the website went down the world would still go on.

I don't read the paper but the website has farcical stories sometimes and the comment section under the articles can be a riot if you want a laugh.

I liked it much better before they reformatted their website. Also I miss the days when they employed copy editors instead of howler monkeys to review the articles for coherency.

Love the link!

I don't believe anyone would have a problem if the Mail wasn't available on a particular day. All they'd have to do was make up a story of their own to keep them going for a while!

I like the website, even if it is mostly full of shite.

I neither like or dislike The Mail. All papers have an agenda and only exist to make a profit, so it really depends on what paper has content you want to see. Anyone who really thinks that The Guardian, Mirror, Sun etc are any better are likely just expressing a preference bias.

I know people who buy a paper for one or two pages and no more. Some like a crossword, some like boobs, some want local news etc etc.

What was it Oscar Wilde said? 'I always read the Daily Mail. I prefer it to a newspaper'.

They really have it in for the Middleton family that is for sure I don't think they like the fact William married a commoner.

Unless your white, not foreign, employed and own your home, are at least middle class and shop in Waitrose & Boden it is pretty much a certainty the Daily Mail hates you.

Only if they are on benefits with their 190" flat screen TVs.

They don't but the Daily Mail would print an outrage story about it anyway.

Yes, and they were responsible for the death of Princess Diana.

For more DM headlines, try theDaily Mail-o-matic
