HUNDREDS of people gathered outside the headquarters of the [Daily Mail] newspaper to protest at the hate campaigns run by the right-wing tabloid.

The protest was organised via Facebook by the People’s Assembly and was prompted by the Daily Mail’sattack on Ralph Miliband, the father of Labour leader Ed Miliband, whom the paper described as “the man who hated Britain”.

Journalist Owen Jones led the protests on Sunday afternoon with demonstrators holding placards saying: “The Daily Mail hates me” and pointing to all the aspects of modern British life that the paper frequently demonises: immigrants, people on benefits, the disabled, single parents – and so on.
