Even yesterday and on wednesday they had Boris Johnson on the frontpage, complaining about how he dares to go on his holidays and how scandalous it is he's using a mate's holiday home; today it's oh dear, how sad, how could this happen.
Here's yesterdays frontpage: www.todayspapers.co.uk/daily-star-front-page-2021-10-15/
and wednesday: www.todayspapers.co.uk/daily-star-front-page-2021-10-13/
And today www.todayspapers.co.uk/daily-star-front-page-2021-10-16/

The thought that The Daily Star is a hotbed of Bolshevik thought or the idea that radical Islamists read it and are influenced by it.
Once again you reveal that you have only the feeblest idea about life in this country. Its media and institutions remain a mystery to you

You're in the wrong and you know it.
My point, as in contrition after abuse as with the clip Monkeon posted, stands.

Some mild criticism of Boris in a mass market tabloid mainly concerned with tits and xfactor had absolutely nothing to do with this killing. Nothing. Anyone who says it did is a twat.

The Daily Star is a hideous right wing prole-baiting rag that certainly encourages its readers to despise 'the woke,' 'boffins,' environmentalists, and, when referred to as 'Bozo,' Boris Johnson.
It also encourages its readers to support, when referred to as 'Bojo,' Boris Johnson.
It's basically sensationally cynical and negative about everything, including the tories, but it is firmly on their side when it comes to culture war and elections.
The British population is being encouraged to hate politicians, and the Daily Star is certainly partly to blame. The assassin was British, his political ideology does not make him less British.

Also, passive aggressive reasonableness can be really satisfying.
