...at a price. Rounding off an interesting media theme, kudos to the very wonderful Dan & Dan for their new and painfully accurate Daily Mail song. Paying careful attention to it will save you a lot of money you might otherwise have wasted on buying the paper.

Could be sung about FOX (FAUX) news in the US -- only the rhyme would be off.
Fantastic stuff - thanks for the introduction to Dave & Dave.
Mind you, it is scarily accurate!
Great! And loved the juxtaposition between a story on paedophiles followed by a fashion shoot on schoolgirls' skirt styles!

Wonderful - thank you for introducing me to d and d - echoes of Billy Bragg's 'It says here' from the nineteen eighties - same theme, slightly stronger language, also references the irony of certain tabloid pics alongside attitudes to sex offenders.
In my less rational moments I dream of installing Daily Mail filters on our church buildings.
The BB track is viewable (legally I think!) at www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKDWQ9awP5M or google 'you tube - billy bragg - it says here'.
Brilliant - thanks for introducing me to D&D!
I laughed til I cried! Thank you so much for that.
