Blame the sub-editors at the Telegraph, what's left of them (or more accurately it's CE Murdoch MacLennan and the weirdo Barclay Brothers that own it). That paper has been on a gradual downwards trajectory in quality for a long time now, and it's rare thing that it produces anything resembling actual journalism.

It's gradually morphed from being a Times for mildly xenophobic Conservatives (big C) into a Daily Mail for toffs.



From Yes, Prime Minister in '87:

The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country. The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think it is.
