blago Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Voted for The S*n although I'm not a UK resident. Unfortunately they sell it here in Ireland also.
Guy_Incognito Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 The rag's leading the way with 20% (495 votes). Next position is Ryanair with 8%(184 votes) splendid
Andy Mac Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 590 votes now (including mine) 22% of the vote
Falconhoof Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 don't mean to be ignorant here, but whats the point of this ?Is it going to reduce their sales ?
5InIstanbul Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Ryanair? How the f*ck would I get nowhere near my intended destination on the cheap without them? Madness.
Jacks Jackie Jackson Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 don't mean to be ignorant here, but whats the point of this ?Is it going to reduce their sales ? I was going to post that same question but think that if they do come out top (bottom) then it will be reported and it might make people such as my dear sweet brother in law stop buying it as he thinks it's 'patriotic'! Of more concern is this 'Hate' suggestion. Those who think that hatred is a strength couldn't be further off the mark. Hatred is a negative emotion that destroys the hater, not the hated. It's like taking poison yourself and hoping the object of your emnity becomes ill.
Stevie H Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 don't mean to be ignorant here, but whats the point of this ?Is it going to reduce their sales ?every newspaper apart from murdoch-owned ones will run a piece about the research carried out by moneysavingexpert which proves that, as a nation, we far from 'love it'. then the rag will run its own piece saying that arrogant liberal killjoys hijacked the internet poll in an organised attempt to undermine britain's favourite newspaper.
Jacks Jackie Jackson Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Good to see the Daily hate Mail is high up the list of despicability.

dorgie Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 The only problem with something like this is that there is no such thing as bad publicity and I'm sure the c**ts running that rag now will turn this into a positive.
Redray Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 30% now. No other Company in double figures!
muleskinner Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 good work gray. top four s*n, ryanair, tesco, daily mail. rogue's gallery that. but what the hell has zara done to upset people so? They make little Chinese childrens hands bleed by working them so hard.

Jacks Jackie Jackson Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 That's GOT to be embarrassing to them! They're easily the most despised!
Jeff guitar Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Just voted 7 times on office computers will do another 2 when i get home.
Redray Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 This is from the fella whose website it is, Martin Lewis; "As for the Sun - we have seen unusual voting patterns and are aware of lobbying on some Liverpool based football websites. We will allow the vote to stand, but when we announce the result in next weeks email will note this has happened - which I think is the right solution. Martin" http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showth...6645&page=2 Good one. More publicity for the cause. JFT 96.
