Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik produced a 1500-page manifesto which quotes Daily Mail columnist Melanie Phillips in support of his views, what do you think?

“I have to say I’m sceptical that those words ever came from Melanie Phillips. If you look closely there’s no sign of her trademark bile against the disgusting homosexuals.”

Gina Simms, Reader |

“Wait, does the Daily Mail make more sense when it’s translated into Norwegian?”
Nick Gillings, Sitter |

“I think the two are completely unrelated. You simply can’t blame the actions of one crazy immigrant-obsessed lunatic for influencing that gunman.” Sheila James, Stander |

“1500 pages? I’m not reading that. Can you come back and ask me again after Melanie Phillips has told me what to think.” Max Maxwell, Leaner |
