"I honestly adore The Sun"

I meant to take photos of it the other day (pretty much just because we got a new digital camera and it's effing sweet, and I'm a child with a new toy), because the headlines were utterly laughable. But I forgot.

On the entire front page was scribed - in enormous bright read lettering upon a black background - "LAWLESS BRITAIN"
And then scrawled underneath, "turn to pages 2,3,4,5,6,76,7,57", as they like to do.

So my curiosity gets the better of me and I cautiously open the page. To be greeted with something like

"UNKNOWN NUMBER OF ILLEGALS IN COUNTRY. WHY?"

on the whole page.

Illegals.
Illegals

And Lawless Britain? Because I agree entirely - we really are in a state of absolute anarchy at the moment.
And clearly this is entirely down to the amount of illegal immigrants in this country. Because hey, every single one of them are trouble making darkies, hell bent on bringing the country to its knees.
None of them are decent, law abiding people, are they? None of them actually help sustain and improve the nation's economy at all!

Nope, this illegals species are doing nought but making Britain a place of lawlessness.
Ugh, I honestly do not know why my parents buy and read this paper so religously.

Heh.

My parents get the Daily Mail, which is pure entertainment. On the way to work I pick up my free copy of Metro.

Then, on the off chance that we stay at work for our dinner instead of walking to Greggs, I'll get The Sun, but only for Dear Deirdre, which is quality stuff.

I scan three papers a day sometimes, and it's the one that they give away for free that's the best. Typical.

Someone had The Sun at work yesterday so I read the sports section.

On every two pages or so they'd have a little snippet at the side, saying "WE *HEART* MID-WEEK SUPERGOALS!" Underneath was a photo of Alan Shearer, or Frank Lampard, or Rio Ferdinand for example. And below would that be a 'quote' from that player along the lines of.

"I really love THE SUN's Mid-Week Super Goals. It's my favourite pullout, we always read it together at the training ground."

Bollards you do.

Whenever I have read it, and admittedly I will do if it's just lying around (because I don't usually buy a newspaper at all, just read my Dad's Telegraph when I get home), the shameless plugging of its own product is what really turns me off, if you will.

The best thing I've seen recently was a couple about my age on the train, and he pulled out an Express, crossed his legs, and read while the girl flicked through Hello, with the air of being an utter intellectual.

I had to smirk in his face, I couldn't help it.

I still can't get over "Lawless Britain", and then directly linking it to illegal immigrants
UGH

There is a reason that the Sun is the cheapest of all the newspapers...

My parents buy the Sun too, I think it's because we're working class and if we try and buy something a little more upmarket the propeiter of the newsagents rugby-tackles them to the floor and screams 'NOOOOOOO'

But there's so many stars you could join them to make pretty much everything.

Muh?

The other day, the headline on the front page of The Sun was claiming you could join the dots in a constellation and make Victor Meldrew's face. No word of a lie. The other day, the main headline on The Star was claiming that today would be the hottest day ever (all I see is cloud outside and I'm freezing).

Chip wrapping and nothing else, that's all they're good for.
