If you want a laugh check out the comments from their supporters on the Facebook page. Self-important virtue signalling abounds.

How did the complainer know that Paperchase were advertising in the DM? I don't even look at the front page of newspapers I'm not interested in.

Because there is a bunch of people making it their business to lobby companies which advertise in the Mail.

I see. They make it their business to look at a newspaper they despise. Taking one for the team, I suppose.

I bet they get a frisson of righteous fury every time. Like PH people watching poverty porn.

Can we have a ban on posters linking to Daily Mail "non-stories"?

Can we have a ban on posters thinking they should run the world and who never fail to give into the temptation to pointlessly pump up their post count?

[Alucidnation]

It's still a non-story though.

Or clever advertising?

[Derek Smith]

It is a fairly free country. The DM is allowed to print its rubbish and people are allowed to try and counter its effects. Perhaps not so much a non-story as an example of people power. You might not agree with the sentiments of the group, but in any competition between

and Dacre, I'll go with stopfundinghate.org.uk. They at least are actually doing something they believe in. I'm not sure Dacre believes what is printed in his paper.

I reckon it is clever advertising. Would you have noticed the advert otherwise?

Sorry I'm still missing, whatever IT is...?

What was the complaint?

Try reading it again, really slowly?

[Lotobear]

using an emotive strap line as a lure to the gullible to close down freedom of speech.

very sinister IMHO

(and I don't read any of those papers and even if I did I would be able to see through what is truth and what is propoganda in the same way as I could with the Guardian)

[Wobbegong]

Are we blaming Russians for this one too?

[Lotobear]

..not yet, but the conspiracy theorists will be along shortly once they framed them for Mutti's downfall

I note you felt compelled to qualify which website you were referring to, as the natural assumption would be that the site in question is the Mail Online.

On the other hand, the Mail Online can hardly be regarded as 'little', being, as it is, a whopping great 2@-fodder and scumbag-magnet of a site.

But they're not closing down freedom of speech at all. If anything SFH are exercising their right to freedom of speech by campaigning against them. Just as you're entitled to lobby on behalf of the Daily Mail if it's something you support.

That's very true Ed.
I love how people sooo hate the Wail. But also think Stopfundinghate is 'nice and fluffy' with no ulterior agenda. Sad fkers!

Paperchase's apology is, well, talk about pathetic and rolling over like a puppy.

However, the gut feeling is this has a lot to do with their expensive front page ad turning out to be a total and utter costly flop!

Paperchase is a million miles from WHSmith, or similar - ie it has fk all outlets in the UK to allow Wail buyers to 'pop in and get their 2 Xmas rolls of wrap for free.
I confess to never having heard of them but got some further insight as my neighbour 'gets' the Wail on Sat (she always has it at the weekend - why? She spends a tenner in Waitrose on Sat and Sun so gets it free!).

We were talking Xmas yesterday and she actually mentioned this offer was a bit a fraud.
Paperchase has far too few outlets to warrant a front page ad on any national, let alone the Wail.
She said the nearest to us was 50 miles away. So that made the 'freebie' a non starter then!
Never mind she thought, and went online to their website to get her 'free' rolls but then got the sting and found p/p was £1.99 and delivery 'within 28 days'..

Not worth the effort for two rolls of wrap she could buy for that price anyway!

Paperchase has lost a bag of cash. You and I know where it is!
