read an interesting bit of political speculation the other day, MLC, basically wondering why Paul Dacre, the Mail Group's long serving editor, hadn't yet received a knighthood. Successful (in a commercial sense) his product certainly is, but I think (hope!) the time has long past when a grateful government would dare to hand out a gong for services rendered by a tabloid editor. It's an entertaining newspaper, as long as you remember that most of the "stories" are driven by comment, stemming from an agenda.
