The newspaper notes: "In an indication of the strength of public feeling on the issue, the poll saw the biggest ever response to a Daily Express phone survey, with tens of thousands of people swamping our switchboards."
A whole host of campaign websites and indie bloggers were also making much of the incredibly warmly welcomed Daily Express campaign.
Indeed, the Daily Express was even being spoken positively about across the pages of rival corporate media organisations yesterday.
On the Daily Telegraph's blog pages, Daniel Hannan was trumpeting the campaign while, over on the Daily Mail's pages, a large number of reader comments were literally begging the newspaper to throw aside commercial rivalries and unite behind the cause.
The latter followed the revelation that: "Euro-MPs were handed an extraordinary £3,000 pay rise yesterday after EU judges ruled in favour of an inflation-busting increase for tens of thousands of Brussels officials" and a report on the worrying economic truth that "Spain, Portugal and Belgium set to follow Ireland into abyss as debt crisis threatens to destroy the euro."
Back to the Daily Express today, and they have a report on the implications for Britain's economy should we withdraw from the European Empire.
Under the headline: "THE GREAT LIE THAT BRITAIN WOULD SUFFER OUTSIDE EU," the newspaper cites leading economist Ruth Lea who says: "We have to kill the myth that British trade would be damaged by leaving the EU. It is piffle."
Keep up the excellent work, Daily Express. You lead - where others are going to have to follow.
Great again from the Express. I've bought another copy today, mainly because I can't find the letters section online. I wanted to see if they printed mine - they didn't. Still I won't hold it against them ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really hope the Express gets a very significant sales increase for this, it may just encourage other papers to do the same.
