The Daily Mail is the second-highest selling newspaper in Britain. The highest-selling paper is The Sun. Each of them outsells The Times by a factor of 3 and The Guardian by a factor of ten. These are definitively the mainstream. You don't have to like the mainstream culture of your country, you should still recognise that it is what it is, and suggesting it is "not safe for work" is just silly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

I can't believe I have to actually explain this, but while reading newspapers in public is mainstream, it's not actually mainstream to have sex in public or watch pornography in public. Nor is it mainstream to defecate in public, should you be in any doubt about that. ... But if the question is "shall we have newspapers in the break room" the Daily Mail is literally going to be top of the list. ... Also, some people vote Tory! Shocking, I know! Who are these people? They aren't even ashamed!

"The Daily Mail is generally regarded as un-conducive to such an inclusive environment." No, it isn't. ... Some people are making a big show of being offended by the Daily Mail, but it is simply not true that it is "generally regarded" as unconducive to an inclusive environment. I am sure you think it should be generally regarded as such, but it isn't.

I have no idea who you have worked for but if you want to know what is "generally accepted" it's not hard to find out, you don't have to remain in the dark. Walk into the lobby of any multinational or major hotel. The Daily Mail will almost always be there, as in most pubs or bars.

I don't see how the campaign making advertisers pull out of DM proves DM to be generally seen as unconducive to an inclusive environment. The campaign is obviously bad PR for the DM, so the DM becomes less attractive as a place for advertisements. I don't know the DM, but to me Bens argument "you can see it at every public space" is a lot more solid.
