The Daily Mail British Tabloid Newspaper

Paul Dacre Geordie Greig and now Ted Verity takes over as Editor

SINISTER AND SHADY

I must confess I have been known to take a sneaky peak online at some of the voyeuristic images they print of celebrities however when I read about their recent dodgy and in my view not in the public interest reporting concerning Ed Milliband's father Ralph I was riled. I sense a sinister under belly to this British institution, the mistakes and questionable stories that have had so many celebrities and people in the public eye up in arms.

The Mail on Sunday completely crossed the line when they sent a reporter to a private family memorial for Ed Milliband's uncle.

Gate crashing a memorial service is unacceptable, not surprisingly Geordie Greig apologised and said a letter would follow from Lord Rothermere the papers owner to the leader of the opposition.

I don't know if we will find out what he says, I'm sure we will.

In a week when Duncan Bannatyne and Alan Sugar have called for big brands to withdraw their advertising could we be so lucky as to overthrown this entrenched in our culture sheep in wolves clothes.

I think there are many people who believe Paul Dacre should step down at the very least.

It's been all change at the top of Mail Towers in the 10 years since I wrote this. I still glance at the paper's pictures occasionally online or read a copy a day late on holiday but purely for entertainment purposes.
