Associated Newspapers have requested that this page be deleted because it contained 'material which is seriously abusive and defamatory of Mr Dacre'. That's Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail and champion of free speech (but only when it means he can publish what he wants). It wasn't - in my opinion - 'defamatory' at all and the lawyers didn't even try to specify which parts they found so objectionable - and for the record: abuse is not libellious, so you can't get into trouble just for describing Paul Dacre as a fucking cunt. For more information please read this blog post on my new blog.

Do you not understand the irony of mocking a paper and saying that it should be investigated, but it's ok for you to say that someone should die? I guess that you are an under-achiever who has very little in your life so hides behind an alias to make yourself look big and important (in your sad world anyhow). If you don't like it, why are you reading it?
That won't wash with the Daily Mail, nor particularly with their readers. Because don't you know, any person who's foreign, and that includes anyone who's not white, is an immigrant in DM-land. Even if they're born here and have never been abroad. Still an immigrant. Possibly even a sponging asylum seeker. Yes, why not indeed, the mums (and their babies) are clearly all sponging asylum seekers and probably terrorists to boot. Including the babies.
I am, however, pleased to be British. Very happy that I have had the opportunities afforded to me by a liberal environment of general affluence.
What am I proud of? I'm proud of what I have done with that opportunity. Rather than, as you put it, pull up the drawbridge and condemn those less fortunate than me - and it is nothing more than good fortune - I have spent several years fighting to help and support those who can't help themselves.
That's called humanity. So no, I'm not proud of my Britishness. But I am proud of my humanity.
And I'm ashamed of the Mail.
