Lee - its in the Daily Mail.....what else needs saying.
All thats wrong with Britain can be found in those sneering, elitist, selfish, hard-faced, heartless, horrible pages.
Another good example....the photoshopped, made up, b**locks that was written in this article, which became infamous on another forum I frequent, when it was written a couple of years ago..

If we were at the same event, I'll eat a beo4....
My main hobby, aside from Danish trinkets, and too many guitars, is going to gigs and festivals. I've taken the kids since they could toddle, and gone with friends & family to festivals large & small all over the UK.
That year was my 12th Glastonbury, and it was a fine year. This article was lazy, cliched journalism that bears no relation to the truth. But people read it, and it registers...the innacuracy and the lies pass into the popular conscience...
At one stage she actually wrote " I'd call them people, but they are not that evolved"..... OK, so that's me and my friends and family is it..?? Thanks - you rude woman.
Our party included a Police Superintendant, a B&O Dealer Principal, a GP, a civil engineer, assorted students, a kwik fit bloke and an occupational therapist.
When you read stuff like that, and the Bsnd 8 review, it just makes you think.....how many articles do you read that you don't have an inside track on, and so you just believe it...
The problem is that so many people will skim that Bsnd 8 review, and it registers somewhere in the back of the mind - B&O is the overpriced Danish company that makes seven foot speakers like kettles, a CD that cooks food, blah blah blah....
Maybe it's not that important when reviewing an ipod dock or a festival.....but how many people get their world view from the same nonsense....their opinions are formed by articles as innacurate as the Bsnd 8 review, but about serious, life changing topics
Shameful review from a shameful paper. I simply don't know why it is read by so many people...
This sums it up nicely
