Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

ironically my partner who is by far my longest lived relationship only had nine books on her shelf when I went back to hers of which 7 were Harry Potter, and one was a big glossy book of photos of puppies and kittens, and the nineth was that Peter Kilfoyle book about how Militant fucked up Liverpool.

Sounds to me like she's probably a psychopath.
 
What an absolute shitcunt:

Michael White said:
The fact is politicians sometimes tell lies, some self-serving ones, some necessary, a few even noble. Voters, who cannot bear too much truth, require it of them and only a child or a hypocrite should be unable to see this. Why, even voters tell lies. Look how so many must have lied to those trusting pollsters before the election! Should we trust the electorate now? Of course, but with a pinch of salt.

Michael Shite strikes again. He called us all a bunch of cunts post-election result too iirc. Notice the divorce between 'we'- the guardian liberal elite- and 'the elctorate'. The unwashed proles who dissapointed him so. Him and that other cunt nick robinson at the beeb, neckshots.
 
I can't fucking abide Michael White, look at his little fascist moustache

I came here for a rant about that. Fucking hell, he's a strange one.

"Contrite Carmichael, warts and all? Sounds OK to me at this distance."​

Contrite? Here's his apology. This is literally what he said when asked: "I have already said I very much regret the position I am in." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-32874009

In what world is that contrition? That's "I'm sorry I was caught".

"I was around in the 70s when the SNP was last present in force. As the late Alan Watkins remarked at the time, they “celebrated Hogmanay in the SNP whips office at least once a week”. It was lively."​

What? What the actual feck? "I remember 40 years ago, some of the uncouth yobs were here before..." Quite apart from the fact MPs were all famously boozers in the 70s, as were Fleet Street, what is the relevance? A story from the Daily Mail, that's what. With a picture of an SNP MP eating a plate of chips, like the ned she is. Not fit to be MPs, I tell you! (Oh, and it can't be that unusual, since she bought the fucking chips in there). That's just rancid, classist snobbery, White.

And as for the Hogmanay dig. That's snidey, bigoted stereotyping. You racist twat.

"outraged Scots promised to report Carmichael to the parliamentary standards watchdog for bringing parliament into disrepute (ho, ho)"​

The "ho ho", I presume, is along the lines of Sir Malcolm Bruce's "defence" of Carmichael this morning? "All MPs lie. The place would be empty". Ah, well, that's OK, then.

"He authorised a leak which, so it is said, he may not have believed was a true account of Sturgeon’s diplomatic meeting. He showed bad judgment in later lying to cover it up."​

"Big", Mr White tells us, "deal". But that's not all he did, he also let an inquiry into the source of the leak go ahead knowing he was the source of the leak. What was he hoping for? A SPAD to take the rap? It all to go away? The election to be over by the time the findings came back?

I'm sorry, but even if that's par for the course, why does that make it OK? It just doesn't.

"Now I see this campaign in a more sinister light."​

What, more sinister than your racist digs about Hogmanay?

"So it seems a little authoritarian, to put it mildly, to seek a byelection in order to make a block of 56 MPs into 57, 96% of Scotland’s MPs on the basis of 50% of Scotland’s vote."​

So, he gets away with it because "the SNP might win another seat"? That's bizarre. Remember when Labour were getting a disproportionate number of Scottish seats, you know, right up to a couple of weeks ago? Do you remember that? Was it "sinister" when they hoped to win by-elections? Where are your articles about how sinister that was? Anywhere?

This attitude of White's, ladies and gentlemen, this sort of elitist sense of entitlement on display in that snidey, insinuating, racist and classist article, if you were in any doubt, is why the SNP swept the boards a couple of weeks ago.
 
...and long may it continue.

The very elite that you mnetion just don't see that doublethink claptrap like White's article actually fuels support for the SNP and other independence minded parties, rather than undermining it.

I hope the London based MSM carries on as they are. The more they speak to the electorate, like a subaltern speaking to a squaddie on defaulters about the standard of his latrine cleaning, the better.
 
If you're scottish and disagree with him on the twitter, he'll burn you so hard by claiming that you've had too much Irn Bru. He's done it 3 or 4 times now.
 
its brilliant really- leave aside the snp hatred and so on for a minute and boil it down to his essential point:

It's ok to distort an election by leaking a lie you've cooked up because the electorate are a bunch of cunts anyway and besides, anyone in power is bang at this dirty game anyway. Oh and I've redefined the concept of contrition as well.


*blinks* behold the true face of the guardian juorno etc
 
anyone in power is bang at this dirty game anyway

I hear this response more and more when bringing up anything to do with politics, the banks, work conditions etc - as if highlighting something and saying that it isn't right and needs to be changed is somehow a naive thing to say or think and that proper grown ups merely accept that it is the natural order of things and get on with their lives. I think it's a very dark way to see the world.

And obviously the SNP have *enough* MPs already so it would be completely out of order for them to try and get any more. Know your place.

He neglects to mention that in the event of a by-election any of the other parties including the Lib-Dems could put up someone the electorate would vote in to replace Carmichael instead of the SNP. If the other parties weren't all such a bunch of mendacious shitweasels.
