Daily Mail - 10,000 thumbs-up Margaret Thatcher "destroyed our society"
Daily Mail - 3,500 thumbs-up "NO STATE FUNERAL"
Daily Mail proprietor Viscount Lord Rothermere with Adolf Hitler
The second screen-grab shows the "Best Rated" comments on a further Daily Mail article which asks "Will the haters try to wreck Maggie's send-off?" ("haters" meaning victims of Thatcher's legacy). The 2 most popular comments, with over 3,500 thumbs-up each, say "why should I show her respect when she showed none to me or my family" and simply "NO STATE FUNERAL".
Looks like the Daily Mail miscalculated public opinion badly
To put all this in context, following those screen-grabs, the first actual photograph uploaded here shows aristocratic Daily Mail proprietor 1st Viscount Lord Rothermere meeting Adolf Hitler (Lord Rothermere was also a friend of the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini). The image following that is the article that Viscount Rothermere wrote praising fellow aristocrat Sir Oswald Mosley's BUF - the British (sic) Union of Fascists (colloquially known as "The Blackshirts"). The final image shows the Daily Mail up to their old tricks, when, as recently as last year, the Daily Mail said French people should vote for Fascist leader Marine Le Pen (and, inadvertently emphasising the dangers posed by their fucking stupid politics, the Daily Mail published their article opposite a photo of right-wing child-killer and mass-murderer Anders Breivik).
