I reckon there’s a bunch of people working at the Daily Mail who are utterly taking the piss. They’re competing every day to get the stupidest things into print. There’s bar tabs riding on it, I’ll bet. Thing is, the editors haven’t realised yet and keep on publishing the stuff.

Think it was about tree leafs or something and ended up as front page news.
Just for reference, I would like to categorically deny that Forbes or myself have been responsible for hosting terrorist materials or spreading terrorist propaganda. | |

I used to help out typesetting at The Metro when they first launched in Glasgow, and we spent plenty of time making up horoscopes and letters pages. The Triforce are the kings of the modern British media hoax, thanks to their Toothing effort, which went international.
