No worse than you'd expect from the "Hurrah for the Blackshirts!" Mail.

The Mail isn't questioning the science. No one working for the Mail was alive at the time of 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts', and I doubt anyone commenting was old enough to read it.

I should have said its readers, rather than the Mail itself, but in general the Hate-Mail hasn't changed much since the 30s.
