Another day another really old tradition destroyed by the PC Brigade. The actual story is about something different, but the Mail commenters are not put off as they get straight to the real problem: women shoved into jobs by the PC Brigade. The story is about a sorry case of bullying in the workplace: 'Two Beefeaters sacked from Tower of London for bullying first female Yeoman'.
It seems that two male members of staff didn't like the fact that a woman had got the job - breaking a 500 year tradition of male only recruits. Getting the position was hardly easy - you need to have had a distinguished career serving Queen and Country for at least 22 years - and the appointed woman met this criteria. Surely not a problem is it?
Well it was for the two men who have been sacked for defacing her entry on Wikipedia - a pretty cowardly and pathetic act I'm sure most people would agree. However, Mail readers are not most people and they ignore the whole point of the story - bullying in the workplace - and instead focus on a good old bit of woman-bashing - something along the lines of: 'It's her own fault, she shouldn't be there':
At least those comments are currently the worst-rated on the article.

Tabloid Watch has already pointed out what an utterly ridiculous attack the Daily Mail Reporter has made on Big Brother winner Sophie Reade for having 'blubber': 'Sophie Reade strips to her underwear in the street but has not lost her Big Brother blubber'. Looking at the picture below and having it described as 'blubber' I think you can see why I really hate the way the Daily Mail portrays women:
And the Femail section of the Daily Mail wonders week after week why women are angry and depressed? If you want to read a considered dissection of the article go read the post at Tabloid Watch, because I want point out the best facial expression ever:
For those of you who didn't spot it:
He certainly seems to be enjoying Sophie Reade's figure, even if the Daily Mail Reporter isn't. |

The most important rule of Daily Mail Club is you do not talk about Daily Mail Club. This means, in general practice, that if you are a Daily Mail writer you must pretend that the Daily Mail does not exist, because if you did, you'd realise everything in your article was hypocritical and / or clearly contradicting something written elsewhere by the same newspaper. The only people outside of this one basic rule are columnists, who for reasons of them being lazy, shit-for-brains twats can only base their columns on rubbish they read in the Mail.
However, for the stock Daily Mail writer - in this case Angella Johnson - you must write as if you have never heard of the Daily Mail or what it gets up to on a daily basis, how else could you open an article on Natalie Cassidy like this:
She has developed a tough skin after years of being mocked publicly for her yo-yo dieting, breast enhancement surgery and supposedly less-than-glamorous looks.
Surely, Angella, you must be taking the piss right? I mean, you must know that the Daily Mail exists to mock Natalie Cassidy?

Daily Mail readers are not exactly known for their compassion, so I can't say I was entirely surprised to see this article jumped on by Mail commentators: 'Saudi princess given asylum in UK over fears she faces execution for having illegitimate child with British lover'. Now having an affair is probably a bad thing, but I cannot say it deserves punishment by execution, Mail readers on the other hand do:
She shouldnt have had an extra marital affair then should she...
- Soul, Uk, 20/7/2009 11:45
Oh so the poor creature didn't know the Quran? Didn't know the punishment for cheating? So easy to commit a crime, so hard to face up to it...shame on her.
- Vis, Milan, Italy, 20/7/2009 11:38
I'm sorry but she knew what she was doing send her elsewhere.
- Violet, Paris, France, 20/7/2009 11:33
Her affair, her decision, her problem.
Send her packing.
- ScotchEggsRule, London, 20/7/2009 11:32
At least the comments are in the red - that is some consolation. However, why did so many people feel the need to basically state 'send her back, she's not our problem' - I only picked a couple of examples. Why do Mail readers treat people who live outside of the UK so badly. Here is a women who had an affair, something that happens all over the world and isn't necessarily a sign that a particular person is evil, but a sign that they are human. Yet Daily Mail readers have dehumanised asylum seekers to the extent that people threatened with execution just for having an illegitimate child are told to bugger off back to where they came from them and take what is coming to them.
All human beings are 99% genetically identical - as much as this fact may horrify Daily Mail readers - so surely we should show a little compassion for those not blessed to live in a liberal society?
