The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

This gives an idea of the influence and hypocrisy of our press.

I'm well aware of Geordie Greig, but to call their stance a complete U turn is rubbish. A couple of lefty newspapers got excited when he got the job, but Dacre still has obvious power across all the titles, and while they've softened from the absurd "enemies of the people" extremes they're very clearly a pro-Brexit paper. Take a look at their Brexit page today, or any day, and tell me that is a pro-Brexit paper.

I'm abroad at present, and just looking at their site and can't see much other than the trucker and fuel usual stuff, but when the new editor came in, their position changed. It's obvious that they weren't going to scream like the Guardian, as the situation is what it is, and the futility of howling at the moon forever was exactly that, futile. You're right, they softened their stance, you believe them pro Brexit still, fair enough, but the editor certainly isn't.
It's all by the by anyway, it matters not what they are, same with all the others really.

Read the Guardian then, it's completely different, other
than having little influence and more hypocrisy.
Why folk harp on about the press I don't know, well I do really, parts of the free press say things some don't like, and
they hate the fact that others do.

Yeah, fair enough. For what it's worth I think their stance softened because middle England didn't want to hear about Brexit anymore, and the new editor was more attuned to this than Dacre, which leads to head in the sand that you're seeing and pointing out in this thread and neither of the two main parties being able to talk about the B word.

No. The Guardian Economics editor endorsed Brexit. There were quite a lot of ‘Lexit’ arguments in the Guardian. Owen Jones once argued for Lexit.

Admittedly, they have all gone quiet since we left. Can’t imagine why.

Defend the merits of the Express on its own terms and on what it publishes, instead of a lazy deflection to another paper.

Largely true, people were sick of Brexit, still are. If people never heard of Brexit again they would be happy. The notion that Brexit was done with an oven ready deal was an attractive proposal.

Unfortunately, the real world often intrudes on fantasy, and even if no one will say the word Brexit, everyone knows it’s there and still not finished with us.

Your immediate reaction to anything you don't like is to
revert to ad hominem, and don't fucking lecture me on what I should and shouldn't do. Tell us something relevant when this racist gets jailed for racism.
It's a brilliant piss take of you and yours, every thread is manipulated to include Brexit, anything at all, it's a skit, and it worked.

Bollocks, I replied to yet another bad loser that whining about the press, in this case a part of it that unsurprisingly, you despise. It's telling that it's always the same people who moan about the press, they hate freedom of expression that doesn't chime, and that folk read it with their own free will.
Of course it doesn't help that nobody reads what you'd like them to, and all your choices are at the bottom of the list,
instead of whining, find out why.

I didn't actually call you a racist, but I'll take the thin skinned response as an acknowledgment of your true feelings if you like. He has been dropped by his agent and had his gigs cancelled, and as you well know there is no offence of "racism".
