Daily Mail petition to have passports made in UK

I figured someone would say that !

It was only matter of time .

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Anything remotely ‘clever’ is wasted on Daily Mail readers.

These fancy clever words are wasted on me .

'jingoism'

Displayed in all its glory on this thread

I had to look up the word “ jingoistic” as I’ve never come across it before .

Maizie I make time - I don't read them cover to cover, I choose which news items I am interested in and then try to get to the truth by reading the views of different newspapers - it's easy really.

which I do - DM, Guardian, Times and I amongst others

Another Gnet Superwoman self identifies! Along with the 'completely uninfluenced by any other views at all' brigade we have the multiple newspaper readers...

Where on earth do you find the time to read 4+ newspapers every day?

Let's not forget it was the campaign by the Daily Mail that got the killers of Stephen Lawrence put in prison, not the Guardian.

Words fail me!

So where those bloody blue passports are printed is equally as important as bringing the killers of Stephen Lawrence to justice?

Anyway, in those days the DM was halfway to being a decent newspaper; not the lying, anti-democratic, jingoistic mouthpiece of a non-resident billionaire

A lot of Holier- than-thou on GN.

Reminds of the 2 Ronnie's sketch

Oh my mistake, if someone disagrees with your opinion or chooses to read newspapers giving differing views (which I do - DM, Guardian, Times and I amongst others) they are all dreadful people!

Selling a lot of copies says a great deal about how many dreadful people tgere are who are prepared to read its bile. A lot of people voted for Trump

The SL campaign is not a get out of jail card for the DM forever - name one other socially worthy thing it has done

Let's not forget it was the campaign by the Daily Mail that got the killers of Stephen Lawrence put in prison, not the Guardian.

The guardian would never have considered starting anything so ridiculously jingoistic, so it's a bit of a pointless question really

100,000 people, and counting, might disagree.

The guardian would never have considered starting anything so ridiculously jingoistic, so it's a bit of a pointless question really, chewie

Would the petition have carried more gravitas and respect if it had been done in the Guardian or the I?

Thank you for your charming comment ninny. Such understanding of opposing opinion

" The DM is a foul right wing rag that objectifies women, is racist and homophobic whose editor is a friend of TM and it wields disproportionate influence in our society"

It is also the paper which sells the most copies in the UK. The figures I have found for print editions are Daily Mail 10,636,000 Guardian 3,653,000.

Aaaah and there we have it ....”who’s editor is a friend of TM”

I’ve had a quick on line search of some of the newspapers on the GN approved list (not sure if the Evening Chronicle has made it onto the list yet but it is the local paper so it deserved a look) and can’t find any mention of Malta, mind you no petitions either.

Blen is that really true about Malta?

No response to my point then? The DM is a foul right wing rag that objectifies women, is racist and homophobic whose editor is a friend of TM and it wields disproportionate influence in our society. The Daily Mirror is none of those rhings. I’m concerned ( not obsessed) with the Mail because of its influence

Nearly 100,000 now have signed in just 1 day, the power of the Daily Mail ?

Typical DM readers. I read that if the British firm won they were going to be printed in Malta anyway - so much for British workers! I would like to pay as little as possible for my passport - and for it to allow me into EU countries without queuing. The Daily Mail really are the end!

Gillybob I care and agree with what you are saying. We will probably hear more about this next week.
Yes Chewbacca wood and trees, pathetic isn't it, also all the Daily Mail haters it's funny though even though they claim they don't read it they seem obsessed with it. Of course the Daily Mirror being a Labour rag is never criticised.
