The Sunday Mail has been roundly lambasted on Twitter today after its front page asked, without irony, what has become of the “tolerant Britain we love”.
James Felton was among a large swathe of people who posted numerous intolerant headlines that have become a mainstay in the publication over the past few years.
He said: “The Mail only sells because we aren’t a tolerant nation.
“If we were they’d have f*cked off long before they even had the chance to go all “hurrah for the blackshirts”.”

Irish actor and comedian Chris O’Dowd also posted a humorous response, along with several others:

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
