Grubby little 'news'papers

Anyone see the front page of today's Daily Depress?





Obviously, as it's on the front page of that paper, it's going to be utterly untrue, or at least so distorted that Picasso would find it too surreal. Unless, that is, Labour has published a document specifically about Daily Express readers. In which case, it's very likely to be spot on. The only mystery is why that paper is suddenly so coy about it - usually it's shamelessly bigoted. I hate this paper - it's like a cheaper, shriller Daily Wail. Big story today:


Tories to end scandal of rocketing parking costs

THE Tories yesterday vowed to end Labour’s war on motorists, which has created a “parking nightmare”

As if. The apocalyptic language which is way out of proportion. The implication that readers are engaged in some kind of 'war'. The misleading claim that it's Labour's fault (parking is council-controlled. Most councils are Tory). What a horrible, squalid little world…
