(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.

I think the story is that he missed last years’ deadline for university, so instead joined IS. As the story surfaced in October it’s not impossible.

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

More evidence of Daily Mail bigotry and incompetence. The Daily Mail should learn an important lesson from this: there are people out there on the web, who are brighter and better informed than they are. And they’re all reading and sending up Paul Dacre’s mighty organ.
