    The comments at the bottom of the article are funny. Oh, and the Prime Minister and his newspaper are too.

    I'm confused, your thread subject says, "provokes outrage" yet the part of the article you pasted says, "with surprisingly no outrage"

    Which is it?

    That's just the Daily Mail being its usual self. A lot of British tabloids are bad at the best of times, but the Daily Mail is the one that takes the cake and the whole bakery.

    You just have to read the comment section to see the type of readers it attracts. They tend to flock to these types of stories, scream 'political correctness', get up in arms over shit that doesn't affect them, and say the most bizarre and hysterical shit imaginable.

    It's not even a case of Daily Mail readers generally being more conservative like you tend to witness with the Fox News discussions on here. It's just one of a select few tabloids that go above and beyond the type of hysteria that the press spew out on a daily basis.

    Some saying involving glass houses and stones comes to mind, but I think the irony might be lost on him.

    Am I missing the point here or does this not follow any logic at all?
