The Daily Mail has been forced to print a formal apology to Harry Potter author JK Rowling and pay out a “substantial” sum in damages over it printed about her as a single mother.
The Mail’s latest stunt, where a reporter fraudulently claimed from a food bank, has proven to be a fantastic example of Pyrrhic stupidity.
Following the Daily Mail’s article calling Ralph Miliband, Ed Miliband’s father, a man that “hated Britain”, the Mail on Sunday sent a reporter to the private funeral service of Ed Miliband’s uncle, Professor Harry Keen, to provoke reactions from the family. This time, however, it appears even the Mail has understood it had gone too far, encroaching into what many would call harassment.
The Mail vs Miliband row rumbles on – last night Alastair Campbell demolished the Deputy Editor of the Mail on Newsnight.
As a former Nazi-sympathising newspaper, that hates immigrants, hates multiculturalism, hates the NHS, and hates young people, maybe it is the Daily Mail that hates Britain?
