But I wouldn’t rule out the idea of it paying back long-term when the Mail’s ad reps can present agencies with the storming ABCe figures.

Even though I’m happy that the Mail is having to deal with its first influx of well-earned mass complaining, and its advertisers will be pissed off, and Moir’s embarrassment is a satisfying punishment for such a spiteful piece of writing, I’m still not convinced it’s been the momentous humiliation of the Mail that I’d like it to be.

I’m old-fashioned, and still cling to the belief that each page the Mail serves up costs it a few pennies, and so the row would have ended up costing it money.
