(not satire – it’s the Daily Mail!)
The Daily Mail last night published a highly critical article describing the Tories’ election campaign as ‘floundering’.
By this morning however, someone from Tory HQ had obviously had a strong word or two and the article was deleted – replaced with a much more flattering puff piece praising Cameron’s new policy announcements and using the word ‘dull’ to describe his campaign instead.
Obviously, Daily Mail bosses hoped the late night changes wouldn’t have been noticed.
Unfortunately for them, however, many of the newspapers’ partners across the world had already filed copies of the article, using the original wording:
Oops!

Yougov April 9th polling forecast is:
277 Labour
264 Tories
28 Lib Dems
Pardon me, but…
326 MPs minimum threshold for a single party to be able to form the UK government.
There 650 MP jobs.
With micro parties gaining about 20 votes altogether, plus the single 1 Green MP.
Labour in 2010 gained about 250 odd MPs
Tories about 300 MPs.
Lib Dems about 50 MPs.
The voter turnout in 2010 was the same as it was in 1918, after the carnage of the first world war had massively reduced male universal suffrage.
The so-called big parties are not bringing out the 75 per cent of the electorate, with more voters not registered to vote as there were in 2010.
Both Tories and Labour won in voting areas where the bulk of voters did not come out to vote.
So with these numbers we face an obvious result of the most severe hung parliament coming from May.
A TORY / LABOUR COALITION.
Maybe this is why Labour keep saying they will not reverse Tory cuts and will not change the last Tory budget.
So that Labour MPs stay in their MP jobs from May.

The funny thing is the link still uses the same original title text, and the comments are still scathing, lol.

David Cameron has about as much oomph!! — or vroom vroom!! — as a half-starved sacred cow standing in an Indian monsoon rain storm, as opposed to Nigel Farage who has more energy than a thunderbolt ….witness his meeting with factory workers in the constituency of Clacton.

The Daily Mail once again shows itself to be the Pravda of the Tory party, where no independent thinking or critical comment is every allowed to tarnish the image of the glorious leader. And this also shows how truly desperate the Tories must be, if they felt that they had to censor the Daily Mail to stop negative publicity.

isn’t the problem that, as much as we can ridicule the DM. the average reader of that rag is not reading this blog. With a sad heart I watch the dutiful tory supporters marching into my local newsagent (in Weston-Super-Mare) and taking ‘the gospel’ as they always do. They seem only to interested in the world that they aspire to ” we are posh middle class (they’re not) and cannot possibly identify with those terrible benefit claimers who deserve all they get”
