A tale of two moralities
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 5:11 am
The first Lord Rothermere was an ardent admirer of both Adolf Hitler and Oswold Mosley - in fact Hitler once wrote to his 'very esteemed' friend and made the proclamation 'that new Germany has no more upstanding and warm-hearted friend in England than you'
The third Lord Rothermere, 'lost his virginity in a Cairo brothel with cubicles separated only by curtains'. He didn't really care that much and 'thought so much of his family that he kept a mistress for 15 years and drove his sad, lonely wife to death'. Naturally he was never a follower of what politicians so trendily call family values. 'What does that phrase mean? I've not the least idea! It doesn't mean anything. Today, the whole idea is that morality is a matter of opinion.'
The current Lord Rothermere, has 'fathered an illegitimate son' by a New Zealand girl who once worked for his mum - and that while his Lordship 'preaches about single parents' the boy has to live 'on the other side of the world', seldom, if ever, meeting 'the father who plays no part in his upbringing'.
So the Rothermere's then. Nice family eh? Oh and don't forget proprietors of that morality rag 'The Daily Mail' so reverend round these parts.
