English Civil War re-enactor disarms knife-wielding robber (twice)

[thrutch]

The article's from the Daily Mail, so its gotta be less than half, since at least half of their articles are half-naked women.

Mate, that is not the Daily Mail I'm familiar with.

Also the picture in that article does not show the Salford I'm familiar with.

Daily Mail's Salford:

Anyone spot a difference?

tbf the old bloke was lucky he didn't also get a Staffordshire Bull Terrier set on him. I wonder if they have a battle re-enactment for that?

There is a big difference between the Daily Mail newspaper and the on-line Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail newspaper is right wing, conservative and constanly outraged. It doesn't have birds with their tits out.

The online Daily Mail is a different beast, it consists of celeb gossip, half naked tarts etc.

They are run as seperate businesses by Associated Newspapers with different editorial teams and don't share content.

Oh, and I thought where I live in Slough was a **** hole....

Its it just me or are over half the articles about badass dudes beating up robbers involve a old dude. I am glad to hear the old man didn't get hurt.

It's because old guys just don't give a ****. They just go in for the kill and don't really care if they get hurt. What could that guy really do to an old guy that nature hasn't already done?? When you look like a shriveled up raisin and hurt every day, simple **** like a knife just don't scare you as much. I just hope to be that badass when I shrivel up.

I've never really looked at The Mail's website before, other than the football stuff. Turns out Dakota Fanning has spots on her chin. Who knew?

Online DM is run a by a phenomenally small staff out of New York and London.

It has the same editorial slant, but features American celeb stuff pretty heavily. Is really good for checking out Kim Kardashian and Rihanna in bikinis, which is what I use it for.

They are not spots it's an allergic reation to my manfat.

Apparently those spotty faced pictures where taken when she was 15.

I've just informed the internet police. And The Mail.
