Don’t make Paul Dacre a Lord

Rumours are currently going round that Boris Johnson is set to add former Daily Mail Editor Paul Dacre to the House of Lords this summer. In his time at the Mail, Paul Dacre has been accused of stirring up hatred against immigrants, politicians and judges alike - and now he could have a say on how the UK is run.

Someone like Paul Dacre, who used his time at the Mail to divide the country, represents the opposite of the values of fairness and respectfulness that we share as a country. He’s not the kind of person who should be celebrated by being made a Lord.

Right now, it's just a rumour, but if enough of us speak out against the idea of Paul Dacre being made a Lord, we can make sure his appointment stays a rumour, and doesn't become a reality.
