And you thought the sexist coverage in the tabloid press couldn’t get any worse.
The Daily Mail today published an article at 7pm, presumably due to be published in tomorrow’s newspaper, with this story: The Prime Minister’s wife exposes her rather unsightly toes during a visit to Temple
A ‘Daily Mail Reporter’ files this copy:
The wife of Labour leader Gordon Brown should have been putting her best foot forward when she visited a temple in north-west London today.
Instead she unveiled a rather unsightly problem on her left foot – her little toe and fourth toe crossed over one another.
The “newspaper” then goes on to publish pictures of Sarah Brown’s toes and asks: ‘Could something as trivial as the PM’s wife’s unsightly toes affect his election campaign?’
I highly doubt it. It just shows how desperate the Daily Mail is getting at trying to throw any sort of mud at Labour. Give the electorate a bit more credit – “unsightly toes” are unlikely to be high on their list of concerns.
