No never bought it - tosh of a paper. Only amazes me that Piers Morgan has never been involved with it, its such gash.
worst paper i have ever read ! absolute dire
My old man buys it every day, and has all his adult life as far as I'm aware.
He is 80 now, been happily married for 55 years, supported BHA all his life, fought in Malaysia during his National Service, never been in trouble with the law, was never out of work as a roof tiler and is an old school labour man.
It never occurred to me that he was a twat because of his choice of paper..............you live and learn.
Indeed. It is hilarious the accusations of intolerance levelled at the Express and others when you read this thread, and what sort of person you clearly are if you read a certain paper.
I have a different take on this, since I worked for the paper for several years, and still contribute as a freelance, albeit in the relatively politics-free haven of sport. Do I think it's the best paper out there? Nope. Did I like the Diana and Maddie obsessions? Not at all.
But as a non-snob, I happen to believe there is a place in the market for papers looking at issues that actually affect people's lives at a micro level, whether it's taxes, refuse collection, whatever. We don't all want to read about the situation in Burma over the breakfast table every day.
Can't understand the vitriol heaped by NSC on readers of certain papers. Live and let live, they all have their place, just buy the one you like. Slagging everyone else's choice off seems a bit prejudiced to me.
