Typical Express front page headline:
"Asylum Seeker Ate My Granny!"
(in letters 4 inches high)
Probably followed by a tedious story about how a stallholder in a fruit market thinks a foreign looking dude stole one of his Granny Smiths.
The Express is no longer a serious newspaper. Also its headline writers are obsessed with immigration and asylum to a degree which apparently embarrases its own journalists, and it is only likely to remain mildly anti-Blair up until the time that Richard Desmond can wring some more concessions out of Blair about his media holdings. Always nice to get some good letters published, and well done to Mike, but I wouldn't place any reliance on the Express as a possible "UKIP-sympathetic" newspaper.
