About Me
- Adam Macqueen
- I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

Looking at that photo, I've just realised the genius of this protest. Sure, it raised awareness of the Daily Mail's questionable reporting and showed that people won't stand for their sensationalist fearmongering and demonising. But best of all, it's provided a news story accompanied by endless pictures of teenage girls in short skirts, which the Daily Mail can't use. D'oh! A certain section of their readership will be disappointed; The Mail has become the authority on photo-exclusives of scantily-clad teens' disasterous Facebook parties and shocking exposes of the provocative images our daughters are putting on their MySpaces. And yet in a cruel twist of fate, the Mail's perfect story arrives on their own doorstep, but can't be printed without addressing the awkward issue of their reporting being called into question.

I bet Dacre had the Photoshop guy working overtime on Sunday, trying to change all the placards to say 'Ban the BBC'.
