Brilliant stuff from Brian Bilston.
Brian Bilston MenuSkip to content How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail I would rather eat Quavers that are six week’s stale, blow dry the hair of Gareth Bale, listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail, than read one page of the Daily Mail. If I were bored in a waiting room in Perivale, on a twelve hour trip on British rail or a world circumnavigational sail, I would not read the Daily Mail. I would happily read the complete works of Peter Mayle, the autobiography of Dan Quayle, selected scripts from Emmerdale, but I couldn’t ever read the Daily Mail. Far better to stand outside in a storm of hail, be blown out to sea in a powerful gale then swallowed by a humpback whale than have to read the Daily Mail. Even if I were blind and it was the only thing in Braille, I still would not read the Daily Mail.
