It's like trash tv - you know when you can predict with accuracy the next step of the article - how there'll be a switch from one to another, actually answering a rhetorical question or bringing in an asian student to the discussion. As played out as the constant woes in Walford. Good journalism should lead you either somewhere you didn't expect or reveal something you didn't know - but it shouldn't so obviously show off that the hack has seen tricks done, and is attempting them in their own work.

remarkably incisive post for you. keep it up

tbf to Vice - much as it pains me to defend them - they do reports (docus) on subject areas i havent seen anyone else report on. the way they go about this is often annoying but its a step up from the fashionista stuff they were doing a few years ago (which they still continue with). the music documentaries are particularly good. There was one about one man black metal bands for example.

The cultural-shit of neo-liberalism.

Neoliberalism as essentially scheissekultur.

Sounds about right.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I head upstairs for a cultural shit every fortnight when my LRB pops through the letterbox

Puts Cinzano on the "liquidate first, ask questions later" list.

Laura in Germany report. She doesn't do a joey barton sadly. Then again, I only watched 10 seconds, so who knows.

Some of those posh poos are pre-liquidated - and you might want to open a window before you cock your Tokarev lest you ignite some revanchist fumes.

. The problem is that she thinks she's bakunin when she's actually Sarah Teather/articul8.

Bakunin's politics are closer to Sarah Teather's than mine - they're both dozy cunts with a lot to answer for.

I didn't see it and then gave up at the bit where she makes a little anarchy sign.

Whereas you are a towering intellect who never answers for anything.

Many a true word spoken in jest.

Subs day!

Thought that was The Black Hands role?

you haven't seen anything until you see her tagging the wall, and.. wait for it, the fag-to-mouth flick.

cringeworthiness i am in you. properly groaned.

Victory to Delroy who appears to have kicked off a twitter shitquake of guardian hack whinging. Even Glinner has waded in. Fantastic.

 

[framed]

She is a fucking simpleton, but it just goes to show that some Germans will still fall for any old scheisse...
