Got to be one of the most pathetic and ridiculous articles I've seen, even by the Mail's standards, as though the teachers strike is to blame for her death, they're just using the death of a 13 year old girl to score political points against the Unions

[bbfan1991]

Daily Fail is a vile paper with the nonsense they spout. Kelvin McKenzie is joining them from The Sun soon so that will be a hideous combination!

[Jordan.]

What more ridiculous is writing an article about a girl getting crushed by a tree then showing her in a hard hat.

"One angry parent wrote on Twitter afterwards: 'she should have been safe at school, she was just sat on a bench talking with friends....it could have been my daughter."

If it's heavy enough and high enough.


Back to the article, they are being slammed by pretty much everyone for this sensationalist headline/story and rightly so. What a ridiculous piece of journalism.

I'm convinced the Daily Heil has been infiltrated for years now and are simply working us all by parodying themselves.

[Tom4784]

It's completely moronic even by their standards, It's a very tragic accident at the end of the day, no one's to blame least of all the teachers.

A log fell on me once.

But the daily mail is getting more ridiculous by the day, before my geography exam my friend and I were reading an article on how sweet strawberries will be this year (was hilarious how they wrote a massive article on it), then a question about strawberries came up in the exam and both me and my friend started laughing.

The Daily Mail is a really vile paper, and soon it gets even worse because Kelvin Mackenzie of the Sun is joining it.

Really gutter trash papers the Mail and the Sun are though.

[Shaun]

Pretty embarrassing.

Who's to say that would have been the case? Someone else could have easily been sitting under that tree at the time. It's just a random accident, nothing more, nothing less. No point in blaming anyone.

One parent did
saying If she was at School
No Death.




And as for that Tree yes a old person could have been under it.
Still would have been in that paper.

[Callum]

Pathetic article but then again the DM do have a reputation for them so no surprise really

[MTVN]

It might be true that is this specific girl had been in school it would not have been her who was hit by the branch but that's not even the point. The Mail is trying to use a tragic accident for political means, to score one over on the strikers and try to place the blame for the death of a 13 year old at the hands of teachers for being on strike. The way it's written it's as though a girls death is an inevitable consequence of the strike.

I have dispised the Daily Mail ever since they posted the photo of Madonna with ''alleged bingo wings''

She has Bingo Wings
she is a biddie

I enjoy the daily mail online, but i am uncomfortable with the comments section, which tends to be very homophobic and sometimes verging on racist.

Far be it from me to stick up for that dreadful rag, the Daily Mail, but they have a point. The girl should have been at school. It was a school day. The teachers decided to protest by striking which meant instead of being in school, the girl was at the park. I don't see how they could have written the story without mentioning that she was absent from school because the teachers were striking. Teachers are in loco parentis during school time. Thursday was school time.

I think you'll just have confused the hell out of some on here with Latin terms!

It's hardly the fault of the teachers, and it could have happened when she was with her own parents, family or friends.

Tragic story.
