Warbler - I didn't say YOU were pontificating about the evils of prostitution! I said that red tops had a hypocritical attitude to (pontificating about the evils, etc.) when they slapped pin-up girls on their pages at the same time, in order to attract a certain 'readership'. You need to re-read that bit.

Okay, I get what you mean about almost wholly politically-slanted publications and mainstream ones. I know you're very hot under the collar about the Mail's background, but you have to ask yourself whether any of the other 'popular' papers are any better in the 'drip feed' of their chosen propaganda? I don't think there's as much as a cigarette paper between them, personally.

Still, at least we have the choice of all sorts of viewpoints, rather than relying on a single organ permitted by the government, called 'Truth'! :lol: When we do get to that point, I'm off over Beachy Head.
