This is not quite off topic, but insufferable pedantry nonethless, so apologies in advance.
The newspaper in question is The Daily Mail, and not the London Daily Mail. It is a national newspaper, the fact that it is produced in London is almost incidental, you could have called it Britain's Daily Mail and that would have served to distinguish it from other similarly titled newspapers in other countries.
I can understand the reason that people do this, The Times is regularly refered to as the London Times as a way of distinguishing it from the New York or for that matter any other newspaper called The n Times, the point is that the reason that the British version gets to call itself simply The Times or The Mail is that they have been in print longer than the other newspapers that bear the same name. This is an American solipcism that is deeply irritating to non US readers, BB can do better than this.
