You do have to buy the paper twice @ 70p

True, though it should be possible to find some used copies somewhere,
I think.

Sky is looking for more upmarket subscribers

Duh. They are clearly looking in the wrong place. If you want upmarket
subscribers, the last place you are going to look for them is amongst the
sundry semi-literate and dim readers of the Daily Mail.

I think that you do the Daily Mail a disservice. It has always been the
preferred paper of the lower middle class including all the middle management
types or more properly the preferred newspaper of their lady wives. The
demographic is similar to the Daily Express. It's a completely different class
of potential punters for Sky than the Mirror, Sun & Star readers that they have
previously targeted.

It's not a broadsheet (well not for the last 30 years anyway) & it did used to
be said that the cushiest job in Fleet Street was ballet correspondent at the
Daily Mail. However to describe their readers as semi-literate & dim is quite
incorrect & insulting.

He is not a very happy 'thing'

From an other group, I have come across him, he also has a chip on his
shoulder so big he can't see the way anymore :-)

Probably a wet socialist.

British Newspapers - who reads what

The TIMES is read by people who run the country.

The MIRROR is read by people who think they run the country.

The GUARDIAN is read by people who think they ought to run the country.

The DAILY MAIL is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

The FINANCIAL TIMES is read by people who own the country.

The DAILY EXPRESS is read by people who think the country should be run the
way it used to be.

The DAILY TELEGRAPH is read by people who think the country is run the way
it used to be.

And the SUN is read by people who don't care who the hell runs the country
as long as she has big tits.


PS in the thirties the Mail had details on how you could join the British
Union of fascists
