'Breath of fresh air' agrees with the Taliban

The Daily Quail has written a new post about Doncaster Mayor Peter Davies, who is back in the Mail for saying:

'We could all learn something about family values from the Taliban'

The Mail seems to have picked this up from Davies' remarks in an interview with the Yorkshire Post, which was reporting on the outrage caused by this statement.

But why has it taken the Mail over a week to report on these comments when they were included - although only vaguely - in Robert Hardman's profile of the Mayor last Saturday. In the Mail. Hardman wrote that Davies:

believes the Taliban could teach us a thing or two about family values.

Surely the Mail didn't gloss over this so it could focus on the hero worship?

Listen to the Mail's new favourite politician

Today's Mail contains a lengthy interview-cum-worship-at-the-feet-of-article about the new English Democrat Party Mayor of Doncaster, Peter Davies. Being described as 'un-PC' pushes all the right buttons for the Mail - and he is father to idiot Tory MP and PC-gone-mad obsessive Philip Davies.

However, it is worth reading this hilarious transcipt from an interview he did on BBC Radio Sheffield the day after his election, or listening here (although it cuts off before the end).

And this is the man the Mail and its readers (every one of the 174 comments is currently rated positive, which suggests they all back him) wish to idolise.

At the end, after Davies has huffed off, interviewer Toby Foster says that will be one of the easiest interviews he will get.

Wrong.
