Forget Ralph, Mail hates Busty too

His “vagina monologues” may be legendary – it’s said he calls everyone a c*** – but Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre has certainly been giving Hitler a run for his money in the popularity stakes this week.
For a newspaper which has always saved its most vicious bile for what it deems the “evil of direct mail”, (as opposed to those “lovely Nazis and Blackshirts”) while at the same time running one of the biggest DM operations of any media group, it’s perhaps no great surprise that here in the Idol household the Mail is about as welcome as a dose of herpes.
Still, like many of you, I simply couldn’t resist taking the “How Much Are You Hated By The Daily Mail?” Facebook test and, I’m pleased to say, I scored full marks by only the fourth question – I didn’t even bother with the other nine.
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t love me for my 38DDs and shaven haven, but it seems they don’t go down too well at the Mail’s HQ in South Ken. Combined with the fact that I’m single, of French descent and have been known to partake in a spot of muff-diving, I’m apparently Dacre’s public-enemy number one. Mind you, there are plenty of us in the same boat of doom.
To be fair, I can understand why Chris Whitson and Simon Kershaw aren’t too popular – they both ply their trade in the “evil” world of DM, after all, and have you ever been anywhere near them when they’ve had a few? Lascivious octopus doesn’t quite cover it…
But it transpires “the Robert Mugabe of Fleet Street” is even alienating his own, after dyed in the wool, Haymarket Hezza-loving Jeremy “huntin’, shootin’, fishin’” Lee and Lucy “somewhere to the right of Thatcher” Barrett posted on Facebook that they, too, had been deemed enemies of the Dacre state.
Now the cynics among you may question whether the quiz is somewhat biased in favour of Ralph Miliband lovers, as everyone who takes it is either “ignored”, “disliked”, “detested”, “loathed” or “hated” by the Mail. But one thing’s for certain, it’ll all be lost on Dacre; apparently he doesn’t even have a computer in his office…
