It’s going some when BOTH front page stories are untrue or misrepresentative of the real story. And as pointed out on Tabloid Watch, the last Campervan comp they ran featured a second-hand banger as the prize. Is anything on that front page true? I bet the ‘free’ beauty treatment turns out to be only when you spend £50.

It’s probably bouillabaisse. With some /really/ stinky rouille. Typical…

It’s the Fourth Estate’s version of Pink Floyd playing “Comfortably Numb” during the encore. It’d feel wrong without it.

So the French are being devious yet the Express want to give away a Peugeot Campervan? I smell something fishy.

Plus, more ‘Fury’. A classic Express page that I may actually buy as a souvenier (French word, oopsie).

Perhaps not, seeing as even if the Express paid me a £36,000 camper van every time I bought one of their shitrags, I still wouldn’t buy one.

It makes a nice distraction from the tedious “No jobs unless you are Polish” sidebar.

Yes! Diana, Maddie, and the Holy Toast – I need that story now. Someone get out the photoshop for a toast version of M in the arms of Di, like a Pieta for Our Times, and we’ll crank up the twitter ‘news’ until some muppet paper picks it up…

A welcome return! Sadly this toss sells them newspapers so it looks like any port in a storm.
Will it be Maddie next? Or a photo of some toast?

How dare they! The Beastly French cover up important Facts concerning the death of the People’s Princess, and on the same page the Express big up a competition to win a FRENCH camper van?

If it’s even possible, let’s set aside the ridiculous story for a moment. Perhaps I’m reading too much into this but I even find the wording of the headline troubling. It doesn’t read ‘French Government ‘Set Up’ Diana’s Driver’. No, it simply says that it was the ‘French’. Every last one of them. Neatly plays into their interminable xenophobic narrative, doesn’t it? The French, all of them, killed the People’s Princess. This will be reason 37 in the Express dossier as to why we should leave the EU.

Even when it’s not a Diana Monday, the Express’s front page on Monday rarely has any actual news – as in current events – on it. I am convinced they throw Monday’s paper together on Saturday afternoon and then fuck off home.
