Someone’s collecting the most creative ways people tell the Daily Mail to piss off
Our new favourite Twitter feed is called No You Can’t Use My Pics and it’s devoted to collecting the most creative ways people find to tell the Daily Mail to get stuffed when it asks them to use their pictures.
In fairness, it’s not just the Daily Mail, it’s the Sun and the Times as well. Can you see a pattern emerging here?
Here’s a whole bunch of our favourites.

Hi Chris, could we use these pics on the Mail Online with credit? Thanks in advance

.@Mailonlinepics Nope. I'd rather rip out my heart with a spoon than have anything to do with your shithouse paper. Thanks in advance.

@asbreuer Hi, we're doing a light hearted feature on the benefits of being careful in the newly returned sunshine and would like to feature your images in an online article. Would you give your permission?https://t.co/TOiCZhb08R

Even as an American I know what you're like, so no, you may not use my picture. You may, however, sod right the fuck off.

Marvellous moving tribute to women murdered by men organised by @cctheatreco #deadwomenwalking pic.twitter.com/6npwgVkiyl

HI, we're writing an article on the Dead Women Walking march and hoped you'd give us permission to use your picture in it?
— The Sun Picture Desk (@SunPictureDesk) November 28, 2016
No I will not. The way you have treated women over the years has contributed to an attitude that kills women. So y'know. NO!

@ChrisShawEditor Hi,I am writing from the Sun Online.Would it please be possible to use the twitter picture of the sign to Brenda online?
— The Sun Picture Desk (@SunPictureDesk) July 22, 2017
I consider your publication to be an unethical, misogynistic, steaming pile of donkey plop. So that'll be a "no" then.

Hello – May we please use this on The Sun website? Fully credited of course?
— The Sun Picture Desk (@SunPictureDesk) July 1, 2017
Absolutely not! We only work with professional news outlets, not racist, sexist, Islamophobic, xenophobic and homophobic shit shovellers.

Fire engines just arrived at Holborn. Announcement says leave the station immediately, staff on the exits look pretty chill. pic.twitter.com/lV7BusBbFX

Hi could we use your photo on the Mail Online? Thanks
— Mail Online Pictures (@Mailonlinepics) December 6, 2017
Nope, your paper is total trash, you tread on vulnerable people and hate queers like me. So nah.
— Georgia (@Chillyourbeans) December 6, 2017
And then there was this one, shared by Nick Pettigrew.
Except people were divided on this one. Too cruel? Too public? Or are all bets off because it’s the Daily Mail?
I hope I was unambiguous. pic.twitter.com/grZfL7LOse

You’ve just been unnecessarily rude to a young lady doing her job and feel the feel to promote it on the internet. Proud I’m sure.
— Gareth McCarter (@g2mcc) May 1, 2018
Her job is working for a publication that lies, distorts and whips up hate campaigns. So yes. A little.
— Nick Pettigrew (@Nick_Pettigrew) May 1, 2018
So you choose to whip up a bit more hate then cheerlead for yourself online. An insight into how the left live I suppose. Have a good day.
— Gareth McCarter (@g2mcc) May 1, 2018
“The left”. Oh wind it in you shitehawk. Anyone who knowingly works for the Daily Mail or the Sun etc know what they’re a part of.
