Unfortunately the Daily Mail is one of the most read newspapers in the U.K.

How the D.M gets away with preaching about this kind of thing baffles me though, especially because of their "side-bar of shame"

Maybe you preach about it so no-one attacks your "sidebar"?

To me this OTT response from the leadership is a sign that moral conservatives are dying off and fiscal conservatives are not replacing them.

I had to read your reply a few times. I thought you were accusing me of having my own sidebar of shame.

So you think the Daily Mail tactic is kinda like, Hide in plain sight?

Sorry, I was not talking about your own sidebar... nobody knows about yours... it is our secret :).

DM has been receiving some flack from their readers for it (the sidebar) so I suspect they are trying to make up for it but ultimately knowing it draws eyeballs.
