    Is the Torygraph turning into the daily fail?

    Girls everywhere need protecting from Islamists - Telegraph

    850 foreign offenders in British jails because they can't be deported - Telegraph

    Just need an article on house prices now...

    I'm fairly sure that something I read recently indicated that the average reader of the Maily Telegraph is a UKIP supporter, which may give some reason for taking this line.

      We are supposed to say nothing about the barbarism perpetrated by Islamists or paying for foreign criminals?

        You can say what you like about that AFAIK.

          We need a proportional reaction. Not some hysterics. This is real life - not cuk.

            You may need to look at the higher echelons of Telegraph management to see this change...
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Not in the genteel broadsheets.

              Maybe the circulation figures might give a clue :

              ABCs: National daily newspaper circulation February 2014 | Media | theguardian.com

              List of newspapers in the United Kingdom by circulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


              its a shrinking market and papers are looking at any way to grow circulation and cut costs. Maybe opinion pieces on controversial subjects and ONS statistic based stories are cheap & popular.

                Ah yes. Hundreds of young girls kidnapped, sold into slavery, raped and there should be balanced reporting, perhaps a bit about need to understand the Islamists' legitimate concerns that make them feel so threatened etc.

                  well wasn't impressed with this :

                  He addresses the camera as if he were straight out of Evil Villain school. With his silly pointy orange cap and his cock-of-the-walk preening, this gun-toting braggart would be a ludicrous figure were it not for the fact that he holds the lives of all those terrified teenagers in his hands.
                  Richard Littlejohn style writing in the Torygraph on a serious subject?

                    Glad to see some in the area are taking a more realistic line. There is the obvious risk of vigilantism that innocents on the Muslim side may be killed too, but as far as the real Boko Haram bastards go, the more killed the better. Violence is sometimes necessary in the world.
