    I checked all the papers I listed and found nowhere near the same sensationalism.
    I’ve rechecked the mirror and still don’t see any mention of troops IRO Coronavirus.

    and I never accused you of apologising.

    not wordplay, you are just wrong. ;)

    I may have mentioned it before but I once got a Police caution for wearing a T Shirt with the Daily Mail masthead with the headline ‘ The Daily Mail - I wouldn’t wipe my arse with it.’ At the bottom of the T Shirt it then said ‘ I wouldn’t wipe my Dogs arse either.’

    No one other than the Heil mentioned troops, but carry on being an apologist for the Heil,
    Try again, and once more I never said anything remotely like being apologist for the Mail

    I didn’t think it was feeble, thought it was good.
    And again, what DO you expect from the tories?

    ‘Troops mobilised to keep the country running’ is a million miles away from the Sunday Mail story.
    And you really ought to get a handle on the meaning of apologist, you’re starting to look a bid daft.

    Sometimes it's just best to admit you are talking b0llocks

    Id checked online and the troops line was omitted. So I’ve accepted the image, but it’s still a million miles from the Mail.

    And I checked several other sources and nowhere else found the same levels of sensationalism.

    I read the mail quite a lot. There, I've said it. Despite the incessant adverts, it is the most comprehensive on line news site. But I am intelligent enough to recognise that a lot of what I read is sensationalist nonsense, click bait or both. A lot of it in times like this is irresponsible and it angers me, and I am not slow in posting comments to that effect slagging off the mail on their comments boards on each article.

    It is clearly visible that all low grade news sites of whatever political leaning are just as bad at sensationalising the news to sell copy or increase ad revenue through click bait. It would help in this crisis if, just for once, we could move away from simplistic "red is good, blue is evil" views.

    you’re struggling now aren’t you ? You said you had seen no mention of troops! Oops there it is in black and white ( from online) 2 different examples without even looking hard. Nit picking about the meaning of apologist when it was never even inferred to start with.Loads of headlines picking at peoples fears, and you say I’m starting to look daft? :confused:

    I said I’d seen no mention after checking online
    It wasn’t there
    I’m not the one struggling with comprehension here.

    You virtually ( if not actually) called me a liar, all the relevant facts were easily and obviously available online. Rather than admit you were wrong you just got more and more obtuse making up things that weren't there! Comprehension my arse!
