I was being ever so slightly light-hearted (possibly inappropriate where the Mail is concerned, I’ll concede.)
But since you raise it, I am aware of the new Mail editor and his change in tack. He still works for a hateful organ whose decades of abuse of civility (remember it sympathised with the Nazis), most especially the 25 years of Dacre, do not get forgiven or glossed over after just a few weeks of a new broom - who still wants Brexit, just not a ‘red meat, destroy the country’ Brexit.
Just as the Guardian will for a long time still get referred to as the Grauniad occasionally, it takes a long time to earn back any respect and the Mail is not there yet, so it will continue to be the cartoon press baddie, for years to come. It deserves it. In 10 years’ time, if it has throughout that time eschewed its hatemongering “fear this!” approach to news and editorials, it may start to be considered rehabilitated. Yes, my loathing for everything it stands for - even today - is very deep.
