Following sickening reports of yet another moron mowing down innocent pedestrians, the Daily Mail has excelled itself by implying that the victims were to blame.
The Mail did not quite write “Have-A-Go Hero Attempts To Eliminate Hate Mosque”, but it might as well have done.
Where was the compassion? “Fury As Innocent People Mown Down In Disgusting Terrorist Attack”?
No, the Mail just had to point out that “hate preacher Abu Hamza” went there once.
The Mail has, for many years, been running a campaign of hate, a slow drip, drip, drip of insidious subtle propaganda designed to sow distrust and fear into the minds of its readers.
To feed this Cancer of the Soul the propaganda has become progressively less subtle over time as its readers have become inured to it. In times of national importance, such as elections, subtlety is abandoned completely in favour of blatant tub thumping.
The Press Complaints Commission is believed to employ a single trainee to field complaints about the Mail. This unfortunate man has apparently been off work with stress and chronic passive furiousness for a long time.
Nobody has been daft enough to cover for him.
Meanwhile, the Press Complaints Commission would like to reassure the public that a highly skilled SWAT team is on standby in case the BBC says something horrid about the government.
The Herald’s thoughts and prayers are with the worshippers at Finsbury Park Mosque, their families and friends.
We believe that there is no place within modern civilised society for terrorism, that there is absolutely no excuse for one human being to behave in such a disgusting manner towards another.
The right of every British citizen to express themselves, worship, and go about their daily business unhindered by prejudice and violence is of paramount importance. By undermining that right, indeed by advocating the very opposite, the Daily Mail has proven itself to be anti-British.
