….by which I refer to the “daily mail” and the “daily express”. Wtf is it w/these papers? I always check out thee headlines @ thee newsagent, and I can only assume that yer average mail/express reader inhabits a world ov constant
from what I see. I think perhaps thee ur-mail headline would be “THEY ARE ALL OUT TO GET YOU AS PROVEN BY NOSTRADAMUS/BIBLE CODE PROPHECIES!!!!@#~” I mean day after day, there’s this constant stream of
scare stories => sars/tony blair, o destroyer ov our cherish3d national sovereignty/albanian windscreen washers/refugees etc etc etc, all fixing their beady eyes on OUR NICE STUFF, or so they claim. This allied, (in the mail esp) to some weird & fux0r3d up supernaturalist outlook, the hidden coced prophecy in thee 0ld t3st4m3nt that shows that we will ALL DIE SOON. And so it goes on. What is thee appeal? It isn’t even funny, it’s just a bit sad and creepy, but, it does seem to sell to lots ov people, especially thee dailiy mail!!
