Big piece in the Guardian a few weeks back. dunno what the middle-brow tabs make of them - where's Scottdisco when you need him?
i wuv you too Cracker
i am afraid haven't the foggiest re Mail. Express, AFAICT, avoids them, or condemns street violence in passing but doesn't go in to things.
the latter are clearly in a bind. as you may know, they loudly condemned the BNP pre-election, though everyone else could see they have been an effective recruiting pamphlet for the BNP for years - New Labour who obv bear responsibility, Margaret Hodge etc, Mike O'Brien when in the Home Office, all Home Secs, esp Blunkett and probably Clarke (you know the history) and the tabs in symbiosis egging ea other on still further have done that anyway, of course.
so, they made overt statements condemning the BNP (because it is easy to be the Express and laud, as they genuinely do, Britons of any ethnic heritage who are settled here and who are honest, hard-working taxpayers, not this recent bunch who just want to
swamp us), but the letters page tone was fairly easy to read; Express readers would write in now and again praising the BNP (who were) promising an even tougher stance on migrants than we already had under Nu Lab etc or the then main oppo Tories were promising.
and the steady drip-feed of Express stories (nonsense, conflation, exaggeration, outright lies, etc) did a great job for the BNP.
so i imagine they can't go too near the EDL, because even the slowest Express readers would see the similarities in terms of analysis about Muzzies that a gang of street thugs definitely share w Mr Desmond's organ.
as i say, haven't a clue about the Mail mind.
at least both papers lauded Refugee Week this week, which is
something. there's still all their regular garbage about immigrants, but this is a bit of progress.
