    Mirror, guardian, mail, sun and all the rest are just propaganda rags for those who need someone else to make their opinions for them.

    Think you will will find that the demograohic of the average Mail reader is far superior to the average Mirror or Sun reader.

    Likely dependent on how you define 'superior' with regards to demographics. All three papers pander to their readers prejudices and push a political agenda extremely hard.

    There is definitely a split in types of jobs the readers fit into (based only on my experience) but frankly I find Mail readers to believe they are superior with very little evidence to back it up.

    Generally people of limited intelligence find it harder to make the leap to fill gaps when things aren't made explicit IME.

    Or perhaps he knew and was making a rhetorical dig about the error; you'd best hope not because apparently that wouldn't reflect well on you based on 'your experience' ;)

    Yup, that's what I'm hoping. It wouldn't reflect well at all. I'd be gutted.

    Belief is everything.
    Old Etonians believe they were born to lead, and many of them do (as an example).

    The DM's demographic seems to consist of people who want to read headlines like "Nuclear War Good For House Prices".

    And when they say good, they don't mean good for would-be buyers.

    The Tories are such hypocrites. They blamed Labour for their unemployment record and then look what happened under them.

    They had the benefit of a privileged upbringing and education to give them that self belief....something their policies sadly deny to the rest of us.....but I suppose I could always get off my !!!! and start a business:whistle::whistle:
