why the daily mail's going down the drain

It could be read as an instruction to vote Farage, followed by "get them" as a "Go get 'em/Let's get (at) them!" kind of thing.

This is interesting, sort of:

Labour donor Dale Vince has libel case against Daily Mail thrown out

Energy entrepreneur claimed headline about different man used alongside his photograph was defamatory

www.theguardian.com

The millionaire Labour donor Dale Vince’s £100,000 libel case against the Daily Mail has been thrown out after a high court judge ruled it did not have a realistic chance of success.

The green energy businessman and Forest Green Rovers chairman claimed the newspaper libelled him in a June 2023 article titled “Labour repays £100,000 to ‘sex harassment’ donor”.

The Daily Mail article was about an entirely separate Labour donor called Davide Serra, who was said to be “a high-flying City financier accused of sex harassment”. The article included a photograph of Vince in his capacity as another high-profile Labour donor who had been the subject of press attention after attending a Just Stop Oil protest in Westminster.

Vince’s lawyers accepted that anyone who read the entire article “would appreciate very quickly that he was not the person being accused of sexual harassment”. However, they claimed the Daily Mail had defamed Vince by innuendo, by putting a picture of him under a headline about a Labour donor being accused of sexual harassment.

The company said a hypothetical reader, in the eyes of the law, would have read the whole piece and “readers who read only part of an article are not reasonable readers”.

They successfully cited a precedent set in a 1995 legal case involving the News of the World and the actors who played Harold and Madge Bishop in the television soap Neighbours. The tabloid had published an article under the headline “Strewth! What’s Harold up to with our Madge?” accompanied by a photograph seemingly showing the two actors having sex. The text of the article later made it clear that the photographs had been produced by the makers of a “sordid” pornographic video game by superimposing the faces on to graphic images.

He's appealing on the basis that's not how news works - most people will just look at the photograph and caption and won't read the article.

I’m tempted to have this framed. Vintage stuff even by their own standards

Not even sure all those Mail headline generator websites out there could have done a better job. ‘Rampant wokery’ is fucking vintage stuff, and I for one salute the subeditor responsible for it

I do wish once the dust settles down in a few days, the Mail clarifies which Brexit freedoms they fear we’ll lose under Labour.

Quoting myself here because you’ll all be pleased to know the Mail has just changed its ways and we shall not see such vitriolic front pages from them again

And I wonder who might be primarily responsible for the toxic hostility that has led to Harry not wanting to take his wife and kids back to the UK. Perhaps the Mail could do an investigation on that…

This can only mean there might be trouble in paradise. Either that, or the Mail objects to married women having a night out without their husbands. Difficult to tell with them…

The minimum legal age for reading the daily mail should be raised to the age of 30 years old. Also Id like to remind those hateful enough to read it, that there is an unemployed single mother on our estate and she doesnt have a " huge plasma television in her front room " she has a 50 inch LED, plasmas went out of date decades ago.

I should add that I think the next Eurovision song contest should be hosted from in a homophobic daily mail readers front room.

Years back I mentioned to a work colleague that my wife was on holiday visiting her mother. His response was 'What! You let her go on holiday on her own'. I'm not often lost for words.

Is that for real? How can a non-sentient sandwich be woke? The DM never ceases to amaze

No, M&S haven't 'just launched' an LGBT sandwich – it actually came out in 2019

On 15 April, the Heritage Party's David Kurten shared a picture of an LGBT sandwich, a.k.a: "WOKE SANDWICHES". But all was not as it seemed.

dunno about 'woke' - think it might qualify as 'trying too hard' (although some of the proceeds went to a charity that helps homeless LGBTQ+ young people)

As far as I can work out, from that article, it's a chicken salad sandwich. Wait till they hear about Kentucky Woke Chicken.
