The Daily Express is mental.
Like a UK version of Fox news, the Daily Express seems to be verging on mania half the time. Have a look at this article.
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/...6-on-St-Paul-s
I've bolded up my personal favourites from the 'article' but in all seriousness, you could be forgiven for thinking the hack was suffering from a psychotic episode while he was writing it.
Were the hell do they find the people who write like this? is there an employment agency which specialises in journalists who suffer from ADHD can take the moral high ground for absolutely any given situation and are impervious to multiple stomach ulcers?
I mean, take a look at this. It's the Express editorial hyperlink list:
Seriously, I don't even need to highlight anything this time. From marital harmony to time travel in 5 lines and 'more deportations please' being sandwiched by the two! If there was any more proof needed that the Express exclusively employs maniacs then you only have to look at their Facebook page.

SICK THUGS DAUB 666 ON ST PAUL’S
VANDALS yesterday sparked fury by daubing the Satanist number 666 on St Paul’s Cathedral in a sick hate crime on Christianity.
Yobs made the ultimate insult by spray-painting the “disgusting” graffiti as anti-capitalist protesters encamped outside the sacred building continued to cause chaos.
Last night there was no suggestion that any of the protesters had carried out the attack.
But it prompted fresh calls for the shanty town to be removed from the shadows of the world-famous heritage site.
The “number of the beast” sprung up on Thursday night, scrawled in silver paint in the middle of a silver heart and tagged with an anarchist logo.
It has reignited calls for the protesters, who have refused to leave the site for almost three weeks, to pack up and go.
Tory MP Patrick Mercer said: “Obstructing St Paul’s is one thing, but putting Satanist graffiti on one of the Church of England’s most revered sites is just disgraceful and sinister.

“I want to see the site cleaned up and the protesters removed to a sensible place.”
A City of London Police spokesman said an investigation into the atrocity had been launched, with the possibility that hate crime charges could be brought.
Last night no arrests had been made. But the action sparked anger from visitors and tourists appalled a Satanic symbol should appear on a place of worship.
June Burton, 69, a Christian from Essex, said: “It’s absolutely disgusting. There are no words really to say, just disgusting.
“Where is it going to end? It’s an absolute eyesore.”

Tourist Ian Tomson, 59, from Melbourne, Australia, said: “I am not a Christian but I find it horrendous – the devil’s number on the church.”
The act was last night condemned by the church, which has vowed to find the culprit, as an “abhorrent” act.
The Rev Bob Marshall, speaking for the cathedral, said: “It is abhorrent that anybody will do this. We condemn those who deface the cathedral in this way.
“We have no evidence who is responsible for this until our security guys look into it.
“We just have to investigate. It’s not the first damage that’s been caused to the cathedral since this whole story began.
“We are investigating each case and we are logging them. But there is some evidence people are doing this because of our relationship with the protesters.”
Occupy London have arranged for the graffiti to be removed despite a spokesman claiming the perpetrator was unlikely to come from their number. Naomi Colvin, an Occupy London spokesman, said: “We have arranged to have it cleaned off.
“If you look at how we conduct ourselves, it’s probably not us, but we take our responsibility as good neighbours very seriously.
“We love this building. It’s a great privilege to be alongside it.”
The graffiti appeared as it emerged last night that protesters who set up a makeshift “tent city” outside St Paul’s were illegally camped on a public highway.
A map has revealed the churchyard is sole property of the City of London, meaning the campers would be evicted if the case came to the High Court.
The Daily Express “Boot Them Out” crusade demands the squatters be removed before Remembrance Sunday, November 13.

its called making money.
and the only reason they do it is because headlines/stories like that make more money.
in actual fact the sadder thing is with headlines like that more people buy the paper lol
so the media are fuelled to sensationalise evrythig because the saddo on the street likes to read it.
its a sad reflection on general society and co-orperations take advantage to make more money. if people stopped buying them, then they wouldnt do it.
