I don't think it is a leader column, just some columnist.

Fair enough, but they still decided it was worth printing and putting on their front page.

Years ago it was one of the major newspapers in the country. Different now.

It ties in with it all, I think still, they should not be printing such bold attacks against 48% of voters, the Daily Mail are just as guilty of trying to widen the divide in this country. We should all be working toward a compromise, it was such a close vote that you can't really just blank one sides' wishes.

By bold attacks I mean these papers saying that Remainers must be silenced and that we're somehow traitors to our own country. That said I don't think attacks against the 52% should happen either. The divide needs to be healed, not widened. All I've seen the mainstream media do is show facts that a Hard Brexit would be suicide for the UK, thats not attacking Leavers, its the facts.

I know I am not in your country....but I still believe it is the job of the MP to represent their constituents...and not their party. So if the MP's are from a region that voted heavily against Brexit....they are just doing their job imo.
But that is just my opinion |

The problem is that the regions dont tie up nicely with the areas that an MP represents, which makes it almost impossible to reflect clearly and accurately, without fixing it, which defeats the object of the vote. |

Good point, wouldn't be surprised if they printed crap like this to shock people and to try and sell copies.

Anyway the Express has carried an EU headline literally every day since the referendum, I look at every paper's front page each day and that is always the case. They have their appeal to their readership but they're one of the least read papers and in today's print world that means they really are being read by very few people. Not worth agonising about. |
