It’s well known that The Daily Mail is one of the most awful and biased papers out there, constantly shipping complete and utter dross to the nation that is often nothing more than barefaced lies and they’ve outdone themselves once again with today’s front page regarding teachers going back to work.

The headline claims that teacher’s unions are preventing them from going back to work and that countless teachers are desperate to return and be heroes. All you have to do is look at Twitter or talk to anyone who is a teacher to know that this just isn’t the case and 90% of teachers are worried about going back to work as they want to keep themselves, their families and their students safe from the virus because it’s literally going to be impossible to practice social distancing in a school. It’s not exactly rocket science is it?
On top of this, they’ve then vilified the trade unions who are just trying to protect their members and help the situation, implied that those teachers who don’t want to return to work are cowards rather than heroes and also cropped a black child out of the stock image that they’ve used. Really, really going for it with this one aren’t they?
Anyway, here are a few of the best responses to it on Twitter:
Disgusting teacher shaming @DailyMailUK. Teachers are always heroes even moreso now in #COVID19
This is propaganda to bully Teachers’ Unions & name call them as militants!
Stop WHITEWASHING teachers! Many Black, Asians & Ethnic minorities are teachers/assistants too!#DailyMail pic.twitter.com/d9fQf6xHt5

Just when you think those nasty bastards at the #DailyMail couldn’t get any worse , they attack our hard working teachers ,profit before safety as usual .
There’s nothing militant about wanting staff and pupils to be safe .
This is the same paper who supported the Nazis -1933— Martin wignall #GTTO, #socialist #ironmaiden (@Tobysdad41) May 15, 2020

Heroic or moronic?
We’re asking teachers/pupils to do what NHS staff & all other UK workers wouldn’t – go to work in rooms where multiple people can’t social distance without protection.#DailyMail should stick to speaking for bigots & not me/teachers.#schoolsreopening #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/o92yQ0inW3— Mr C (@MrCooperTeach) May 15, 2020
Compare the #DailyMail front cover photo and the stock photo they used – and notice anything about the people they cropped out? pic.twitter.com/TBOv4XyH8Q

I’m shocked and horrified by #DailyMail 5, 6 and 7 year olds don’t “social distance”, they barely let parents go to the toilet in peace. Why are the Daily Mail ignoring the risk to children from returning to school with no clear safety plan. 😷🦠🚫 pic.twitter.com/dUxFaIfpHq

At least some people can do their own research and realise that pretty much everything The Daily Mail spouts is lies. Sadly a whole load of people in this country are just going to have it delivered to their doorstep and believe everything they say though and there’s not much we can do about that.
For more of the same, check out this fake news plugin which found The Daily Mail’s website did not maintain basic standards of accuracy. Of course it didn’t.
