    But the daily mail said it, it must be correct if the daily mail said it, they’re such a reputable and neutral news organisation, they would never just make up wildly misleading, fear mongering click bait headlines.

    Honestly, how anyone who can string more than two thoughts together would ever think the DM is a reputable source for a claim is a mystery to me.

      People online don’t always seem to realise that the Daily Mail is considered THE worst newspaper publication, in the entire UK. It’s the sort of thing you wouldn’t pick up to line your floor for a new dog.

          I feel like the daily mail is worse. People know the star is full of shit, so don’t take it seriously. Whereas some people seem to have a perception of the daily mail that it’s somewhat reputable newspaper.

      I mean at a fundamental level, it probably is illegal. I don’t imagine the original owner stops owning a thing because it fell off the side of a boat, so I’d imagine it’s theft or some seafaring equivalent.

      Is anyone going to get punished for picking up a banana that’s fallen off the side of a boat? I fucking doubt it.
