We are living in crazy times, where russians showing a big fuck to all of us breaking all laws, using chemical weapons, hacking, killing, occupying other countries. Capitalism for the win, money rules the world, and Russians know where to invest them to keep everyone in their pockets all over the world. We have biggest Mafia state in the world inside the Europe and everyone is just fine with it. Sad..

Sorry, for context, it's actually worse than most of the tabloids, it pushes an agenda of hate to monetise anger - almost everything in it is lies.

It's a tabloid where the readership don't realise it is.

It pushes fear and xenophobia. Stories rotate between what will cause you cancer (everything), what will cause house prices to go up or down and what to blame people on benefits or asylum seekers for.
