Gay left-wing immigrant praised by Mail readers

Stop rubbing your eyes. Stop it! It's actually true. This is the story:

and the comments haven't been overwhelmingly negative. Is it the Christmas spirit infecting the Mail commenters? I don't know, but look:




I know. Isn't it? Disappointing about the 'Londonistan' under Gary's comment, but I suppose you can't have everything. Oh, and before you get all misty-eyed at this display of warmth and affection for Tatchell, I have to tell you that these weren't the only comments under the story. Some happily advocate smashing people over the head if they don't agree with you:

OK Roger, well it appears you're 'sticking your neck out' with that comment, so I'm perfectly within my rights to come around your house and bash your brains in with a rusty spade. Is that all right with you? Or is it only other people that those rules apply to?

Also:

Ah well. You knew it couldn't last, didn't you?

Thanks to Alex for the tipoff!

  1. seems the mail couldn't quite manage the idea of this empathetic story being their only gay related headline of the day, and have thus balanced it out with this gem:

    an actually incredably depressing story, but above which they've put a headline so irrelevant and tactless they might as well have just gone the whole hog and written "lol, gays!".
