Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre today had his Wikipedia entry hacked in an apparent response to the paper’s controversial ‘Legs-it!’ front page.

Dacre has led the Mail since 1992 and is Fleet Street’s longest serving editor, but that didn’t stop one of his critics from conducting some rogue editing of his biography.

The modified entry described Dacre as “an English Caveman editing British hate promoting paper the Daily Mail”.

Declaring ‘Never mind Brexit, who won Legs-it!’, the Mail ignored the political aspect of tense talks yesterday over the future of the Union post-Brexit to instead focus on the leaders’ physical appearance.
