The thing that enrages me is that thousands read this bloody abortion of a newspaper.

this is, like 4 on a scale of 1 to utter daily mail ****headedness
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

The Daily Mail makes all its money from making people outraged. Either it's the racist ****heads who actually read the Daily Mail getting bent out of shape about immigrants or it's normal people who they get to flock to their website with drivel like this.

It's basically a giant troll at this point. Ignore the site and it will go away.

Wait a minute. How can she even have to make these "sacrifices" on that kind of money? Shouldn't she be able to afford such things and still have thousands left over? Where's the money going? £80,000 - £100,000 salary? Any Londoners around think they could do better than her and live more comfortably on that money?

Re: Daily Mail publishes article, enrages thousands.
Lorric seriously shut up and stop pandering the the Dail Mail's sensational BS, their editorial scrutiny has a history of being so lax that if 25% of that article is presented in an accurate and non maximise sensationalist fashion I will fall off my chair.

seriously, they are that bad they should have a red top.

Where do you get the idea I am pandering to it? I just asked a question.

So you're saying the article itself is lies. I thought the "outrage" was someone moaning when on such a salary.

I've also found some answers anyway in the comments section now:

"Is this for real? I live in London, earn half of what she earns and I consider myself to be doing very well. I don't stay in 5 star hotels or wear designer clothes but my life is a good one and I cannot complain at all. I live within my means, no credit cards, no loans. I have a mortgage and I have savings. I just cannot understand at all how this woman can say she's broke when she earns twice what I do - what is she spending her money on???? £80k may not go as far in London as it does elsewhere but I do live in London and can say it still goes a long, long way to a very, very nice life. This woman's a complete imbecile."

"I am stunned by this - i earn roughly the same as her, i have no dependents, i own my own house, which will be mortgage free in four years due to me overpaying the mortgage, and i pay a substantial amount of my salary into a pension each month. I buy most of my clothes from calvin klein, ralph lauren, tommy hilfiger and gant on sale, and have at least two long haul holidays a year as well as trips to tenerife and short haul weekend breaks. I get my hair done every month, and usually have a massage, facial or pedicure once a month. I eat out at least twice a week and pay for myself. I pay off my credit card each month and always have spare cash left over from my salary. How can she not survive on that salary its a huge amount. There are people out there surviving on much much less. I would suggest she needs to downsize her lifestyle expectations. Boo hoo she can't buy a chanel suit - really? Is that such a big deal. I have a fantastic life."

That second one being along the lines of what I'd expect you'd be able to do on that kind of money. If the article is a lie, well, so be it. I don't understand why you'd lie about your own life though in this context. If it's true, I wonder where the money goes.

Since Lorric needs me to spoon-feed him the relevant quote:

Well, don't worry. I do know it's not a place to go for reliable news, and that is a kind way of putting it. I'm not sure what all the fuss has been about here, but I got what I wanted from the comments section on there anyway.

Let's not all dogpile onto Lorric on every thread please.

Yes we know the story is bull**** but whether it's deliberately lies or the vacant prattle of a socialite with no sense of how to spend her money sensibly is a fair question.

Just don't go to the website while talking about it. They do this for page views after all.

Thank you Karajorma. I really appreciate that.

How would you avoid going to the webpage though? You can't find out what it is otherwise, can you?

Re: Daily Mail publishes article, enrages thousands.
Simple. You look at the url. If it contains the string www.dailymail.co.uk, you do not go to it. Should you find yourself on that site, close the tab and apply kitten picture.
