I find it fascinating that

A) Britons continue to buy tabloid papers
  and
B) enough people (claim to) believe them for any politician or government agency to care

I mean, we have tabloids in the USA, like the Weekly World News or the Washington Post, but everyone pretty much discounts everything other than the latest Elvis sightings or cattle mutilation statistics.

On the other hand, if they're still able to keep their readers and stay in business when so many traditional newspapers are closing down, I guess I can't rag on them too hard.
