It certainly showed a welcome change from the usual tripe that they maliciously report on a regular basis .This was Chris Snowdons take on this remarkable change

I'm surprised it's taken them this long to realise that they were on the same side as Brussels in this debate, and clearly this would never do. I think this is simply a case of "my enemy's enemy is my friend", and a quick repositioning was inevitable.

Unbelievable.

U-turning at it's finest.

Now doctors say e-cigarettes do help you quit - and could save millions of lives... so why are petty bureaucrats intent on banning them from public places?

Only TWO weeks ago, people on the street were telling me the Daily Mail was where they read

"more dangerous than smoking"
"vapers are consuming the equivalent of 50 cigarettes a day"

and people were coming the conclusion it was safer to take their chances with 10,000 Bensons each year.

An event sponsored by E-Lites...and yet Cara Delevingne is seen to be Vaping NOT an E-Lite.

Too right. The paper that is so far up it's own ar.. it would jump ship in any direction to stop the sh.. coming out.

I have very little time for the Mail myself djs - I just hope this isn't the start of papers aligning themselves on this issue along supposed party lines. So far the coverage on the more progressive side of Fleet Street has been mixed, and could jump in any direction.

Mrs DJS put the Sunday Mail in the shopping trolley today meaning DJS gets the bill.

However, I got a quid back off her when I returned the trolley.

Shhhh.

I have to admit when I first perused the article alarms went off for me, now normally the daily fail has nothing but bad words to say about vaping but here they are doing a complete 180 degree turn around to me this smells of them paving the way for the mhra but it could just be me being paranoid and cynical as I was constantly called a cynic at university by my teachers

[markm]

their main editorial ethos is that of the bully.
Anything they cover starts with a negative viewpoint,
this is just them seeking to sneer at someone in authority, they like to
play the side of the public, in their own cynical way

Hmmmm! How much did elites pay for that article to be published?

But good to see chrisjw in the article

Coincidence?...

[monty]

Maybe not such a U-turn from their point of view. There policy is to be outraged. If the EU hadn't tried to ban them, ecigs would still be the spawn of the devil.

BUMP.

I suspect The Daily Mail are monitoring my comments. The box for comments says "unmoderated" BUT curiously, all my hard-hitting comments are not being published.

or maybe I just can't see my own comments??
