Daily Mail is not even worth wiping my bum with, let alone reading

I actually found the article on NS&I quite informative but then of course a lowly newby like me can only dream of aspiring to your high standards

I think if he is avoiding wiping his bum with the daily mail website he's doing it right, but I still fear for the hygiene of his laptop or smartphone if there are other rival news websites with which he prefers to wipe his bum.

Does this invalidate the information within this news report?

For those eschewing the article, this does suggest good news for savers for the next 12 months.

The money section of the Daily Mail has come.up trump's time and time again for decent information.

Whilst I don't read the Daily Mail the snobbery on here towards the full publication is widespread and baffling.

If only you had posted 5 minutes earlier I could have avoided sullying myself or even soiling my soul on the pages of the Daily Mail.

It's not snobbery when they dramatize news to make it more than it really is. Essentially click and bait
As above why is this even news, the MSE has best buy tables for savings already for years and already informed us of the stop in some reduction in interest rates which is more important.

What financial institution doesn't want your money? Banks love you to put your money into them. No different to governments wanting you to buy their bonds

Why don't you read the Daily Mail veryintrigued, I am intrigued indeed. Personal choice is not snobbery, but the drama is one reason why I don't read the daily mail and their cousins.  


An example of how far they dramatize things without looking at the context:

Sadly the ink doesn't come off, so I've stopped it, I use bum friendly paper now,
