These 17 Daily Mail reader comments surely tell you all you need to know about the people who read it

The fabulous Twitter account @DMReporter built up quite the reputation keeping an eye on the Daily Mail so you don’t have to, and very revealing and totally on the money it was too.

Alas it shut up shop just over a year ago – all that time reading the Mail, who can blame them?

And it was in highlighting the paper’s reader comments that @DMReporter was particularly eye-opening – often hilarious, occasionally grimly depressing, and sometimes all that the same time.

And these 17 Daily Mail reader comments that really do tell you all you need to know about its readers.
