   A co-worker rather contemptuously described me as 'an apologist for the   
   Daily Mail' today. Because the office copy happened to have ended up on my   
   desk - for the first time in many a month. I found his straight-faced   
   description of it as 'utterly Nazi' both laughable and juvenile. The Daily   
   Mail is a rather unpleasant and slightly boorish right-wing tabloid   
   newspaper. If you identify that as being 'Nazi' then you have succumbed to   
   the same kind of hyperbole and exaggeration that fuels boorish right-wing   
   tabloids.   
      
   As per: nothing to say about the apologists for *brown* fascism one sees   
   from time to time in liberal newspapers and from the mayor of London (who he   
   seems to admire). How are the Mail Nazis I asked. I seem to recall they they   
   were the most vocal of all tabloids in the drive to catch Stephen Lawrence's   
   murderers. They even printed the killers faces on the front page and ask   
   them to sue if they wanted. He didn't like that.   
   'What about all their stuff about asylum seekers?' he asked, getting   
   desperate. 'Well,' I said, 'even the government now admit the system's out   
   of control'.   
      
   He walked off and sat down and said half-serious: 'tut tut, apologist for   
   the Daily Mail.'   
      
   'There are worse things to be,' I said.
