Hate Mail

I should never have looked at the Daily Mail's message board. I know it was wrong, and I feel dirty. It is the most astonishing place, both hilarious and frightening in equal measure. Here's just one post, and I promise I didn't make it up (although the Mail might have). Those of a nervous disposition look away now:

"They come over here, take our jobs, marry our women and change our way of life. I'm not old enough to remember the old days, but my great uncle says that back in the day you used to be able to leave your front door open to get a bit of air in but these days you don't know what Tom, Dick or Dariusz is going to help yourself to your bread, ham or wife.
Quite what our women see in men who can't even speak the Queen's English is beyond me..."

I particularly liked the phrase "I'm not old enough to remember the old days". What a complete tosser.

 What's really scary is you can read the same comments on any local politics forum across the land. The lament for 'the old days' when we were free from 'all this pc stuff' .I haven't yet discovered what 'all this pc stuff' refers to, they seem to have a problem giving any specific examples...

 "You couldn't make it up!" as Richard Littlejohn would say.

That one is pure class - So far beyond the random vitriol of their normal letters page that I think it must have been compiled by a whole committee of their frothiest readers, over a period of several weeks. Any one mere mortal would have collapsed under the sheer weight of cliches.
