Actually FWr,
The Daily Express <link> is nothing like
The National Enquirer <link> except that they are both "news"-based publications.
The Express is an UK national daily newspaper aligned, usually, with the (small "c") conservative or political right-wing of society with perhaps less commendable writing, sources and qualities than the "broadsheet" dailies (
The Times,
The Financial Times,
The Guardian, or
The Independent). Perhaps.
In no way is it as much of a tabloid as the Enquirer which is much more like our Daily Star, Daily or Sunday Sport, and
The News of the World <link> which are just junk papers for the most part written by disreputable hacks.
Really, The Express,
The Sun <link> and
The Daily Mail <link> are all right-of-centre national "tabloids" here whose apparent political opposite is
The Daily Mirror <link>. The Sun, unsurprisingly the most popular daily, is a pitiful jingoistic rag (the others not being much better) unless you're a pubescent boy interested only in
SunSport or more probably the titillating semi-nude photos of the long-running
"Page 3 Girls" <link>.
Anyway, though this perennial PF reunion rumour is hard to believe from anyone except perhaps the horses' mouths, I'd be much more inclined to believe the Express (or
The Sun) than the Enquirer. Much much more.
In any case, I will also only believe it when I see it, hoping against all sensible hope the rumour IS true.
