Wow.

Without wishing I'll on anyone, wasn't it the DM who, early doors, were telling their readership to go around licking door handles in hospitals like Johnson, whilst simultaneously circulating internal memo's instructing staff to socially distance and take other sensible measures?

That is a complete fabrication. They instructed readers to simulate fellatio on door handles 'As if seeking to pleasure Boris'.

Are they caring about vulnerable people's lives? I think not.

The Daily Mail doesn’t strike me as a socialist enterprise where the entire workforce chooses the headline if I’m honest.

Personally think wishing Coronavirus on anybody is poor taste but hey. Different strokes.

People have a choice for who they work for. Most share that view or are willing to write stories based on what the people who buy that rag want to read.

What are you on about lol

Have you ever read some of their sports reports? And...who said anything about dying? I said a bad case of coronavirus, I wouldn't wish anything fatal on anyone and thus is the difference between me and the paper you are championing.

My boss has decided we all have to go to the office at least one day a week. Just because.

In our factory they are working in masks and gloves and at least 1.5m apart at all times... so now we have to go to the office in the same rigmarole because he's doing it and has decided it's safe.

The company's official line is that all desk based staff are working at home until October 1st on a 4 day week but he knows better.

Hes also communicated that he expects us to be available and active in the day we're unemployed.

God damn I need a new job.

Im not championing the Daily Mail, I’m saying it’s a bit weird to wish a deadly disease on people who work there.

The market in sports writers is normally separate to the editorial direction of the paper. Hence Jonathan Lieuw can take his Ill thought through guff from the Telegraph to the Guardian.

The mail have had some decent sports writers over the years.

Some similarities to my own scenario. There's no real need for it other than our management simply not liking modern working arrangements.

Not always clear cut is it? Marina Hyde started out at the rag and dated Piers Morgan before being so well thought of at the Guardian.

I'd be surprised if the journalists and writers within the Daily Mail believe what they're actually writing. They have an audience and they play on their whims etc.

There's a lot of moral issues that arise from this, where they ignore their social responsibilities, but I suspect they don't give two hoots.
