Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Why the Louvre Abu Dhabi is worth celebrating, despite its dark side

Nothing excuses the inhuman working conditions that have been reported. But I suspect that when it opens, this audacious new museum will be admired as a world destination and artistic treasure house. And so it should be.

Fucking hell. Good spot.

 

[Idris2002]

It is right to be concerned about worker abuses. But it would be deeply destructive to refuse for that reason to celebrate an eye-opening new museum.

The narrative at the conference has been that this is all so very new. From the plenary hall stage to the bustling bilateral meeting rooms, the sponsored lunch tables to the specially commissioned ‘Marketplace’ smartphone app – where ‘leaders and game-changers’ can arrange to come together for ‘brain dates’, a sort of neoliberal Tinder – there is an all-pervasive aura of buoyant razzmatazz, as if nobody can quite believe how fresh and positive Sisi’s Egypt feels

Just why are people choosing to eat Wetherspoons' cheap tasty breakfasts?

A mystery worth investigating

Same reason normal people don't go to the guardian's pop-up cafe #GuardianCoffee i suppose.

 

[DotCommunist]

only the guardian could get an article out of 'spoons breakfasting.

They treat such reportage as safari expeditions, reporting back to their readership on the inexplicable curiosities of the world

If that's the one in Shoreditch, it closed down recently.

I suspected it might have but couldn't find anything saying so. Can we expect the first guardian wetherspoons type boozer to pop up somewhere soon do we think? Rustic wednesday club? Toast tuesdays?

These are the stories that matter.

Louis, a 17-year-old ginger tom, accused of pouncing ‘like a wild lion in the jungle’ on to unsuspecting pet pooch’s head in Wells, Somerset

Walk past it every day and don't really pay it much attention but noticed it'd closed maybe three or four weeks ago.

don't knock it, it's the best-written story of the day

 

[DotCommunist]

the only remarkable thing about that story is an ancient old tom still having the furry balls to take on a hound

I liked the idea from the article - not the shit uni-viz one- that there is an obesity problem and it's down to wetherspoons. And localised in boston.

if you're after good fish and chips i can heartily recommend the wetherspoons by grimsby station.

 

[J Ed]

It's funny that Guardian journos go in Wetherspoons and leave concluding that the other people are the weird ones.

there are better fish and chips in Grimsby

 

[Pickman's model]

there are better fish and chips in Grimsby

i know. but the ones in that pub better than many places in london.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

I've no doubt, good fish n chips in London are like hens teeth

For the past few months I've been enjoying an occasional Large Mixed Grill and a pint (or two. Or three) at my local Wetherspoons. Good stuff, although the cooking of the steak can be a bit... inconsistent? I dunno, some days it's a little bit too chewy and other days it's perfectly succulent and tender.

Katharine Viner named as Harry Potter's successor:

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/mar/20/guardian-appoints-katharine-viner-new-editor-in-chief

Educated at Ripon Grammar School and the University of Oxford Viner spent three years at the Sunday Times before joining the Guardian. Her first job was with Cosmopolitan magazine. The last Guardian editor who attended a state school is understood to be Alfred Wadsworth, editor between 1944 to 1956.

Is a scion of a fascist who is married to a lying neoliberal toad the most likable woman in British politics?

Did you mean the one where he claims he's not racist actually?

I don’t think newcomers should get benefits and free health service for the first six months, except in real emergencies. Asians and black people or eastern Europeans aren’t all angels. Nor are white people. There’s good and bad in everyone.

He writes like a 12 year old doing his homework on the bus.
