fascist rag

Understandably the papers have been full of wild speculation about the suicide bombers. Who were these kids? What kind of careers advice have they been getting? And who can we blame? TACKLE THIS EVIL, MUSLIMS TOLD, said one Daily Mail headline. Perhaps because the words are spread across a double page, my eye was immediately drawn by the comma in the middle, and by the two words on either side of it. For a second, I was seeing the headline: EVIL MUSLIMS. Can this be deliberate? Knowing the Daily Mail as I do, I'd have to say: yes.
