Daily Fail

I'm getting a bit blood lusty to see Dacre fall, but then perhaps this desire for circus is something I should keep in check.

The Mail plays to the meanest of people's spirits - some deep part of the lizard brain that has no ability to consider a bigger picture, only to flinch aggressively.  Having this jeering turned back on him, pelting him with the same shallow,

rotten tomato cries of 'hypocrisy', seems a fitting treatment for Dacre, but really anyone with any interest in the papers has known the fella as a shitty bully for years.  Its not really news is it?

The more harrowing thought is the sort of complacency where we're happy just to watch this circus.  The popularity of the paper represents worrying deep-rooted vales in the hearts of many people.  They're not changing quickly with one man suddenly in the spotlight.

The Mail drummed up 42'000 complaints for Sachsgate, and while some presenters lost their jobs, it didn't really change any values, did it?  The media is as awash with crassness and insensitivity, probably more so.  Similarly, there is now all sorts of outcry for this latest story, 10s of 1000s stating their support of Ed Milliband, and there is questioning as to whether Dacre will weather the storm.  It doesn't really feel like a victory, when its the same sort of pettiness underlying it all.

It my be entertaining to see The Mail be put through the mill, but the real victory would be to win on my own terms, and see Dacre passionately singing celebrations of the harvest whilst dancing with a gay, Polish, single-parent, gypsy... hang on, that also sounds a bit circusy.  Dammit.
