Shock, horror: Daily Mail raids People’s Daily for musician video

Happiness is seeing a right-wing, Red-bashing British newspaper taking its content from the organ of the Chinese Communist Party. The story is about a ‘woman conductor’, unnamed, ‘somewhere in China’ who gets a tad over-excited at a village wedding.

Nothing to frighten the horses, but we love the incongruity. Does Lord Rothermere know he’s filling his paper with raw Communism?

Here’s the Mail rip-off. And here‘s the People’s Daily original.

    It’s charming to see the Daily Wail basing a story on source material. Usually their witless hacks just make it all up – like the oafish Simon Heffer.

    It’s all on the same journalistic level as the clownish piece by Anne Applebaum that was cited over this weekend, in fact – Daily Wail journalism to a ‘tee’.

    But I suppose chavs and UKIP activists need something to read in the dole queue on Mondays, before going back to their moonlighting day-jobs. Regrettably a few regular contributors on these messageboards get their daily news dose from the Wail too.

    Say what you want about the Daily Mail, but at least they do not delete comments (like you do)!
