As a fully paid-up member of the impotent lower middle class, and a fervent opponent of pretty much everything the daily mail stands for, I resent that implication!
Maybe the core audience of the daily mail IS lower middle class, but only the segment of the lower middle class that is intolerant and reactionary.
- enko 13y agoYeah, I shouldn't have really worded it like that. It's difficult making characterisations and I went a bit too far. I do believe, however, that there's a segment of the middle classes who have a lot of dissatisfaction with their general lot, and the Mail is a way for them to vicariously lash out at "the system", johnny foreigner, the rich, the paedophiles, and all of those other easy targets. I'm going to leave what I wrote as is and reap what I sow, but regret putting it in such a nasty tone now. Sorry!
