Best opening line in a Guardian article evs.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

'It was the night I slept with 14 men that I first started to try to work out how many partners I’ve been with.'

[Berni]

Oh, I'm still having to deal with people who think that bombing Dresden made us as bad as the scums, by the way. :rolleyes:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Another Guardian-reading sicko.

[Snin]

are right wing reactionaries who use it as there daily mash.. that and the fact that for supposedly left wing reactionary paper it tows the government line at all times on things like Libya, Syria, Russia , Egypt, South America etc makes me think that in fact its a joke paper written by The Government just to try and show a fair and balanced press whilst pushing there tax the middle class needs by pushing ridiculous green anti petrol pro global warming claptrap.. its a crock of ****e and no one else with a brain I know actually reads it

[Berni]

*****es, which are always difficult to find and a bit on the soft side." :clap: :bow: :clap:

all.. was just casual interest as no one else ever quotes it except you 2..but nope wasnt telling you what to do or anything like that..you do really make stuff up and add your own slant dont you ? oddball..sober up man

[Classic Jorge]

Personally I think it's a decently written paper with exceptional online content, especially for football.

I don't go near the Comment is Free section, though. That's almost as bad as the right wing nutters at Telegraph Blogs.

[Snin]

two guardian readers in peace. have a good weekend Sir Nutter and his sidekick oneball

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

They left my 'What a lovely article. Well done the Guardian for putting it up!' alone though. C**ts.

[Berni]

My suggestion of how she might have come by her dodgy knee didn't last long, either.

[Snin]

[Berni]

UKIP-voting golf club bores with the odd religious maniac thrown in for seasoning. The Guardian, on the other hand, has a much more rich and fascinating tapesty of obsession, delusion, paranoia and outright lunacy.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

becoming increasing hysterical, bigoted and vicious; they're verging on inctement to violence, in some cases. I assume they're ramping up the rhetoric with an election looming, but they're in danger of shooting their bolts too early... there really isn't anywhere to go from here. Toynbee's imagery, in particular, has become deeply unpleasant.

[Ashberto]

No wonder the Guardian and Daily Mail are the two successful online papers

[Snin]

my mistake ..soundedbad

[Berni]

I think they've shot their bolt too early, but also they seem wildly out of touch.

Toynbee's weird, seething, spittle-flecked ad hominem attacks on David Cameron are also particularly odd.

[Classic Jorge]

It is a much richer tapestry, but then again the left has always been a broader church, The Telegraph wins hands down on the swivel-eyed nut job count though.

[Berni]

propped up by a tax-avoiding trust.

However, look at this sort of thing. A weird rant about a mindset that absolutely nobody has. Classic Guardian :clap:

I suspect it is a feature of the internet that intelligent political comment is not to be found on newspaper websites.

[Classic Jorge]

You can't get much more ad hominem than smearing someone's dead dad

[Berni]

facto valid, which causes it to publish some genuinely hilarious nonsense that simply would never be considered in any other newspaper. It's the classic example of opening your mind so much that your brains fall out.

Sea Kittens, for instance.

[Classic Jorge]

It's not printed in the paper, I know a few people who write for it and it's all about profile raising for their "issue". It's not even paid FFS.

Telegraph blogs just seems like an odd provisional wing of the telegraph's already pretty rightwing editorial.

Of course, there are still properly mental highlights there though

[Berni]

Guaranteed in any given Guardian article about him, you will see the words 'rich', 'posh', 'privileged', 'Eton' or 'Etonian' or 'public school'. It's constantly playing the man rather than the ball.

Besides, the attack on the Marxist traitor Ralph Milliband was from the Mail as I recall. I have made no case for the Mail.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

as witches covens. I, for one, am guilty of it all the time.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Do they do it for love? How do they eat?

[Berni]

It has made me quite fancy reading her Cultural History of Menstruation, though.

[Classic Jorge]

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10386388/Ralph-Mili band-wanted-to-destroy-Britains-institutions-and-turn-countr y-into-a-Communist-state.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10386388/Ralph-Miliband-wanted-to-destroy-Britains-institutions-and-turn-country-into-a-Communist-state.html)

And to say Cameron's entire outlook isn't entirely informed by the fact he's a rich, eton educated posh man from a privileged background is to stretch it a little too far, seeing as he's surrounded himself with those people and governed for the benefit of those people almost solely for the last five years.

[Berni]

Actually, my mother-in-law is a witch. Genuinely, she did the whole Wiccan thing. Quite mad, of course.

[barrybueno]

[Classic Jorge]

They aren't in CIF though Jones started there and Toynbee came from the Indy, I believe. No idea about Valenti

[Berni]

would I get a blog, do you think? Or do you think there is actually a selection process that takes place whereby certain ideas are considered worthy of proselytising and others are not? In other words, the mere presence of these articles on the website suggests implicit approval of (if not wholehearted support for) their content by the paper.

[Classic Jorge]

The person from the academic thing was late so I and the other person who was in the meeting shot the **** for a while.

It turns out she's doing an entire hour long spoken word show about her periods in Edinburgh this year. I nervously joked "Well I guess there's plenty of comedic mileage in the whole business, eh?".

She shot me a glance of what I can only describe as pure anger and said "It's not meant to be funny. Periods are a serious issue".

[Classic Jorge]

It's deliberately there for 'Citizen Journalism' even if it doesn't have a 'citizen' editor.

Actually, a blog is pretty much a pre-requisite as they mostly skim the blogs and then make contact through them.

[Berni]

entirely informed by the fact that he's from a family whose father was a raving communist who thought that any excess could be justified in the pursuit of his desired political outcome? And thus, the 'smear' against Milliband is just as valid (or invalid) as those I fuind objectionable in articles about Cameron.

[Classic Jorge]

In fact, in a strange way you could argue that Ed's very existence smacks of trying to go against his dad.

Sort of like a reverse Portillo

[Berni]

reason enough to think the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree. If he'd become a Tory, your thesis might hold water, but he instead joined the Labour party.

Just because he's not left wing enough for you doesn't mean he's not left wing, j.

[Berni]

That process of choice implies support for those viewpoints.

[Classic Jorge]

Sticking with Govt austerity plans and spending cut commitments? Proposing to stop the dole after two years? Backing the "Free Schools" nonsense? Aiming to raise the minimum wage by, wait for it, less than the rate of inflation and only by 2020?

[Classic Jorge]

It's more like Buzzfeed, just not as entertaining
