Chindie Posted January 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2018 On the Heil discussion, it should be borne in mind that it's website is bizarrely popular, which has kept it more relevant than other papers (despite Dacre claiming the entities are unrelated, when it suits him).

Yep. I know more than a handful of people who would never read the paper, but love the website. mostly for the garbage celeb gossip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking around our office at lunchtime, glancing at the monitors, anyone not actively working will either shopping or reading the Heil online. I'd hazard a guess it'd be at least 70% in the Heil's favour too. I genuinely don't understand it. It's garbage. It's the Sun for those who like to be teased a bit more for their tits and want to pretend they're above a gutter rag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bizarrely popular but only becasue it is free online I suspect. No paywall or ad blocker messing about as they are so desperate for anyone to read it. Nobody with a fully working brain would pay for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 had a quick look at the website just now ... Anna Friel is looking old amusing though when Virgin are seeing as the moral crusaders for the right on left .. that would be Virgin who responded to a tweet form a woman complaining that she was called "Honey" at the ticket office with .. Sorry for the mess up Emily, would you prefer ‘pet’ or ‘love’ next time? ... though presumably the Heil haters boycott virgin trains as well rather than be hypocrites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm not sure anyone can do anything without being some form of hypocrite. I'm not sure that undermines many of their positions or points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see that as hypocrisy. Edited January 10, 2018 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, then. Churchill was glad when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, as it meant that the combined might of the Allies would eventually overcome Nazi Germany. During this period, he suspended espionage against the Soviet Union, on the basis that "We don't spy on our friends", and took every opportunity to portray Stalin as "Uncle Joe". In other words, the 1940s equivalent of posting on Twitter that anyone who read the works of Hitler was a racist moron whilst ignoring Stalin's genocide. Or, to put it another way, I'm glad that Virgin has banned the Mail, but it doesn't mean I like Virgin. Better? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
