You may remember that before wokeness became the choice label to mock, the Daily Mail frothed about (IIRC) Birmingham City Council's decision to rename Christmas as Winterval. Predictably people went nuts at once again 'political correctness going maaaad'

In fact Birmingham City Council hadn't. It was something that the Daily Mail made up.

All grist to the mill.

How long ago was that?

1990s I think.

I'm sure you can find more contemporaneous examples of the Daily Mail lying about culture war stories though.

So we should ignore the hundreds of stories published by the DailyMail every week because of a story they ran 30 years ago? 

 

Seems a bit narrow minded and ignorant

I was going to say those scientists with their theories and thermometers measuring the rising temperature of the planet, pale into insignificance with the ground breaking news that a few business people now eat avocados.
