I think this might be worth a brief mention, if a good secondary source could be found. For those unfamiliar with Brian Bilston, the poem is as follows:
"How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail"
I would rather eat Quavers that are six week’s stale, blow dry the hair of Gareth Bale, listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail, than read one page of the Daily Mail.
If I were bored in a waiting room in Perivale, on a twelve hour trip on British rail or a world circumnavigational sail, I would not read the Daily Mail.
I would happily read the complete works of Peter Mayle, the autobiography of Dan Quayle, selected scripts from Emmerdale, but I couldn't ever read the Daily Mail.
Far better to stand outside in a storm of hail, be blown out to sea in a powerful gale then swallowed by a humpback whale than have to read the Daily Mail.
From: You Took the Last Bus Home: The Poems of Brian Bilston (2017)
The newspaper is neither formally affiliated with a recognized Zionist organization nor informally associated with a Zionist movement. It’s difficult to believe that the previous editor’s addition of “Zionism” as a political alignment for the paper was based on anything other than personal opinion.

I agree. That’s quite bold to put in an infobox - especially with no citation or evidence. Maybe in the controversy section RJ2677 (talk) 19:35, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, there's no way I'm getting into an edit war over this; in fact I'm surprised it's still there ("discussion needed" addendum notwithstanding). I could present a ton of valid references attesting the DM as a Zionist publication and it'd still be erased eventually, for no reason, so feel free to do so! :-) AnyDosMilVint (talk) 20:53, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
