Judging by the comments section, its readership is mostly anti-vax, anti-EU (especially French and Germans), anti-Meghan/Harry, anti-Biden, anti-immigrant, pro-Boris, pro-Trump, pro-Brexit and England First.

Not every article fits into one of the above categories but it's clearly targeted at that demographic.
No doubt. Right wing yes, and maybe not to your taste or to mine a lot of the time but it’s problem isnt that it’s aligned with neo nazis and the like, it’s that it’s a shite gutter-press sensationalist newspaper.

I just think it’s targeting outrage junkies and idiots cannot help but comment.

I am vaxxed 3 times, think anti vaxxers are wankers, definitely not anti immigrant but then I don’t really like Meghan and Harry, and I would like to put England first… so not sure what all that makes me.
 
Yep and they’ll ignore it and counter it with some theory of theirs.

The stats are a vital part of our response to Covid.

Removing them makes it a free for all.
You’ll never convince these eejits, the best thing to do is to ensure they’re not convincing the naive, by constantly showing them why they’re wrong.

Thankfully they are the minority.

Its why previously I’ve been so intolerant of flat earthers. They seem like harmless cranks but they convince the naive and then it’s the same ones that suck them into anti science conspiracy bollocks that becomes dangerous and life threatening like anti vacc propaganda.

Ninety percent of over 18s have had at least one jab so it’s a small but dangerous minority who have been brainwashed by the anti-vaxx messages.

There’s been misinformation from a range of perspectives during the Covid crisis. For example, the Guardian reading superiority merchants who spread lies that people were turning up at vaccination centres and only accepting AZ because it was a British vaccine. People who made these claims aren’t much different to those spreading misinformation in the Daily Mail comments sections.

In addition, there are people who loved the stats until several EU nations and New Zealand began to surpass us in terms of vaccination rates. I criticised the EU when they were dithering but times change.

Never bow to the morons. you never know what they can get the gullible to do.
 
Trouble is they aren’t morons they are manipulative, and have well rehearsed answers to to all the questions and reasoning put to them.
Morons in one sense I guess.

I agree though, the internet is a breeding ground for conspiracy nuts.
 
Did anyone suffer from tiredness for a while after their Covid infection? I’m 2 weeks post positive test and still very tired and have some breathlessness too.
 
It's a sad state of affairs that the Daily Mail is the most read newspaper in the UK. It's political agendas are so obvious. It's more like a propaganda mouthpiece to the far right.

Just read the headlines from COP....
The Metro is the most widely "read". Difficult to avoid I guess when 800 copies a day are strewn on every seat of every bus and every train. The Mail has monetised itself spectacularly well through its online presence mixing right-wing polemic with ephemeral bollocks that somehow appeals to the great and the good. The public gets what the public wants...

Came on in leaps and bounds as soon as I was allowed to play out. Bad back from doing nothing lasted a few days and it was maybe a week before I was back up to my usual 10 mile walks with the dogs. Just do a little more each day.
