DAILY TELEGRAPH: "A propaganda sheet of complete ovaries read by people with brains no bigger than their ovaries"

The Slog: Once upon a time not that long ago, the Executive Editor of the Daily Mail Paul ‘Insane’ Dacre allegedly told quite a large number of his disgusting hacks that their services weren’t required any more. Their nickname in the Street of Shame became ‘The Boat People’, as one by one they walked the plank, only to be rescued by two fat tax exiles allegedly ‘living’ in the No Man’s Land between Britain and France.
People better informed than me have suggested scurrilously that the Boat People were hounded out by Dacre the Mad because they were routinely hacking the mobile phones of the rich, famous and powerful after the style of Newscorpers. I couldn’t possibly comment.
One of the former Daily Mail staffers, 49 years old going on 12 Tony Gallagher became the editor of the Daily Telegraph. And as more of his cronies joined this merry band of outlaws, what had once been a reactionary but decent newspaper plummeted downmarket to become the pro-Psycho economics rag we see before us today.
It has become, I’m afraid, a propaganda sheet of complete bollocks read by people with brains no bigger than their bollocks.
Five years ago, you could thread in a contrarian manner at the Telegraph site, and get a decent hearing. Today, say something off-message there and you will be hounded by foul-mouthed troll swarms. Gallagher’s Gargoyles have become every bit as bad as Rusbridger’s Rottweilers at the Guardian.
To demonstrate the childish level of ‘hidden’ persuasion at the Torynaff these days is perhaps the easiest job in satire. But here are two I’ve chosen at random today.
‘UK construction growth cements recovery hopes’ trumpeted the Maily Torygraph this morning. Except that it does nothing of the kind. The four key points here are (1) You can’t export houses so even if it were true, this would make no difference to the UK’s deficit
(2) The growth has come from Help to Buy (niche QE from the government) and relaxed planning rules/illegally ignoring greenbelt rules
(3) Both of these were ‘thankyous’ from Camerlot for the construction industry’s £3.5m contribution to the Tory election expenses
(4) The CPM Index edged up to 51.0 from 50.8 in May….as you’d expect. Sadly, it was below forecast. : – (
‘UK economy strengthening as services exports surge: BCC’ said the Sarky Barclaygraph this afternoon. Except that the problem we already have is that we don’t have anything to sell to the world except these ‘services’ aka bits of worthless paper dreamed up by Borisconi’s mates.
But buried halfway down the article concerned is this 24-carat nugget: ‘However, economists warned that recent upward trends in the UK economy may not be sustainable against a backdrop of weakening activity in the US and China’. Oh right, is that all? Little old China and America huh? Well who GAF about them nurr-ner-nurr-ner.
I used to thread a lot at the Telegraph’s web pages…from which came legions of decent Sloggers baffled by the Conservative Party’s approval of psychopathic mendacity; now, I rarely bother. Hits I get from there are less than 10% of hits the Torygraph gets whenever I link to their stuff.
It is in part another sign of the terrifying trend I spotted earlier this year: the retreat behind stockade walls of the Looney Left and the Rabid Right.
But be in no doubt: Gallagher’s Barclay Brother Backed Boat People are at the top of the list of those who would collaborate with a controlling State keen to stamp out the Internet Resistance.
