Talk:Daily Mail

From Conservapedia

I've made a few edits: 1. The Boer War. Technically the 'Second', but commonly just the 'Boer War' and it links to an article on that war. I've give the dates to elucidate. 2. UK was at war with two Boer republics, rather than 'South Africa'. Technically speaking the main one, the Transvall, was not a 'sovereign state' as according to the London Convention of (?1881) it acknowledged the suzerainty of Britain. This was disputed increasingly by the Boers and was one of the issues of the war. 3. To be strictly accurate, the Boer Republics invaded the British Empire (or at least its Cape and Natal colonies). However, this attack was in the nature of a pre-emptive strike against increasing British threats. Had they not attacked, but not given way to British ultimatums, the British wouuld undoubtedly have invaded within weeks, even days. 4. Don't forget 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts'. Charming...

PS - wouldn't the Torygraph, and especially its Sunday sister, outdo the Express for Toryism? And don't forget the rather odd interregnum of the Express under Rosie Boycott.

The Daily Mail, one of the most right wing papers anywhere, very liberal? I can't work out how to correct that misconception without substantial editing, more evidence and connecting it to the outline of the newspaper's stand on certain social issues at the end of the article.
