It may be just me but I think the Daily Mail has gone a bit ott. Maybe I do not read it much so it could be like this all the time. But my guess is they are on some sort of energy buzz. Could be the EU situation or maybe press regulation. Tom Watson is in the spotlight.
Saw Channel 4 News last night with interview Max Mosley. "Treachery" headline on editorial page is opinion from Stephen Glover after recent Corbyn speech. Blames CBI, BBC, Japanese owned FT. Some memebers of the ruling class...."pretty treacherous". So the recent spy claims might just involve a missing fact around a sound opinion.
Anyway, main thing that strikes me is the claimed link on page 12, National Action and Thomas Mair, killer of Jo Cox MP through the slogan " death to traitors, freedom for Britain". At the time as memory serves it was mostly online that such connections were made. The newspapers did not much look at right wing politics as background. Some related issues were given much publicity.
Could Channel 4 investigate the content of newspapers during the referendum? Not just the Daily Mail of course, but given the approach in these reports on Max Mosley there are some reasonable questions to ask.
Page 13 explains that the Daily Mail did end support for the Blackshirts and also mentions comparison with the Express, Evening Standard and the Times.
