Outsmarted. This past week I've been exchanging views with someone on the best way to approach buying a copy of the Daily Mail (US readers - I know you're out there - the Daily Mail is Fox News but put to print, Banshee headlines, flaming, boiling prose, gleefully stoking the fears and insecurities of Middle Britain. Not to my liberal taste, but hey there you go). I'd written that I could only pick it up with tongs and disposal rubber gloves. Featherweight compared to what they said they had ended up doing, it was for research purposes in mitigation, but: "...I had recently bought a copy of the Daily Mail and taken it from the shop concealed between the pages of Hustler magazine". Wow, cannot be beaten, simply cannot.
