Express front cover today...

Also quite ironic that in promoting the 'draught relief' scheme, in the photoshoot, they were holding 30L kegs (which most of the smaller breweries use), when 'draught relief' only applies to kegs over 40L.

The Express used to be an important newspaper. Ye it was always Tory but not slavishly so. In the 1950s it was very much the paper of the aspiring and patriotic lower midle classes. Today it's an irrelevance, a joke of a paper, very much in the shadow of the Daily Heil.
 
No doubt the Grauniad is moaning about a shortage of leather elbow patches for retired geography teachers jackets.🤣🤣🤣😜
 
The Express and The Mirror are two sides of the same coin.
They’re both aimed at the easily-led, below average intelligence newspaper reader, who think they’re sophisticated flicking through the base level so-called journalistic ‘articles’ which have as much credibility and depth as the polar opposite political figureheads they each oppose.

It’s like comic-book level political porn for the deluded to lap up whilst drinking their pint and eating their sausage barm (Mirror readers) or whilst sipping their wine and gorging on a self-proclaimed ‘healthy’ slimey tuna mayonnaise baguette lunch (express readers) accompanied by some beetroot crisps.

On balance though the more despicable of the two is The Express for all their disgusting lies and non-stories presented as news Headlines to maximise profit from a child’s great misfortune and a family’s heartache.
 
What's being given to the pensioners ? (Also have allowances gone up or down)(the amount you earn before you pay any tax)?

Not far off, except the Express reader will be tucking in to whatever the care home provides for lunch, their average demographic must be 80 plus.

Oh and the Express website is the tenth most visited news website globally thanks to their clickbaitery.

Hardly as the muppet does not know the plural for teacher is teachers with no apostrophe.😜🤣

But if you’re describing teachers’ jackets then there’s an apostrophe.

Because you’re describing jackets belonging to more than one teacher.

Whereas if you were describing a jacket belonging to one teacher you’d also use an apostrophe but it’s be my teacher’s jacket.

Whereas if you’re only describing teachers then yes - there’s no apostrophe.

And yes. You could do the same with the word muppet. Or muppets.

I can’t help think about the clip where Dan Quayle was in an American classroom helping to teach. A boy spelt potato correctly yet Quayle told the boy he was wrong and had to add an ‘e’ on the end. With all this talk of teacher's jackets perhaps we’re talking about their jacket potaotoes?


Anyway, why don’t we simplify things and call all teachers Phil Collins? (I’ll let you work that one out).

The Mirror and The Express are both owned by the same Company, Reach, who also own The Star and Scottish Daily Record amongst a cluster of big city newspapers.

You can find multiple on-line editions of the Express that are either condemning Johnson or praising Johnson on the same issue. It’s a real invidious beast that works at the lowest level of shoite stirring and opinionated string pulling.

The approach of Reach seems to be if you don’t like their left wing views then their right wing views will appeal and vice-versa. They don’t seem to have any middle ground because that gets the least knee jerk response!
