The Daily Mail is funnier than The Onion.

There's a UK onion site called the Daily Mash and I went to it once and the URL had autocorrected to the daily mail instead and I thought they'd just updated the look of the site and gone for a different style of satire.
It took me about 5 mins of browsing around and laughing at the absurdist articles before I realised.

Its funny, I've completely U-turned on this being a cover up, it blatantly loving is at this point.

Every now and then the incompetence of the UK establishment takes my breath away. If they'd have talked to the residents and got them resettled sharpish and fired some scapegoats this would all simmer down. Instead they're just runnning the same tired, "We don't give a poo poo, paups," procedure everyone is sick of by now.
I guess the Tories are hoping it blows over after a 10 year inquiry or that it all becomes May's fault.

Its very fun to see the Tory invulnerable armour come off all at once and now everything they do is a collosal fuckup. The one thing the Tories are good at is playing politics and they seem to have forgotten how.

I think it is this combined with the fact the British standard protocols for this stuff is to cover it up and protect everyone important until 20 years have past. We have never had aspirations of transparency ever or even thought it was valued.
They're doing what they are meant to be doing.

I've gone the other way. if this were a coverup you'd want it out the news ASAP. This means we're going to get a constant trickle of increasing number of deaths for the foreseeable future. It's going to constantly go back into the press and every time it's going to look worse. If you were going to cover it up, you'd throw a number out at the start then make sure no one ever publicly talked about it again when they didn't have to.
