(not satire – it’s the Mail!)
Ted Thornhill – the hopelessly incompetent Mail Online senior reporter who was hoaxed by the false story about a non-existent ISIS fighter – has been desperately asking around social media in a vain attempt to try to save face:
So full marks to @ruqxx for this excellent reply – which manages to say everything there needs to be said about the Mail when it comes to anything Islamic:

Of course if Ted had done even a bit of research, he would have realised that the story about a supposedly white ISIS fighter joining ISIS because he missed the UCAS deadline for entry into university was a hoax.
Not least because the UCAS deadline closes on the 15th of January.

My favourite faily hate story and its commenters has to be the one about a sex offender who was in a tv soap opera , it seems what offended the commenters the most was that having him put on sex offenders register would leave him without gainful employment and would therefore be claiming dole money , so to them being on the dole at ” taxpayers expense” was more offensive to them than him being a sex offender.
Its a funny ole back to front world in faily hate land it seems
