Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Theresa May transforms into cold war colossus by not being Jeremy Corbyn

I could only barely skim it, someone tell me - is it as shit as it sounds?

Who let him out to write proper columns? I thought he was just there to shit on other people's books despite being unable to string a sentence together himself?

e2a: Apparently Corbyn's mention of Tories hoovering up fat lines of pure, uncut Russian criminal cash was some kind of irrelevant non-sequitur obscuring the real issue of Russian criminality

He looks, and writes, like a man who has only ever had humour described to him.

I was reading that preparing to be sympathetic but in the opening paragraph he appears to link this to the closing of branches of Strada, Byron and Prezzo, if they've closed because people are tight I say pull the purse strings in some more.

It amazed me that that was what he thought would get the sympathy of the audience. As if there were millions out there with a deep affection for Jamie’s Italian Kitchen.

Independent places are thriving, at the same time the likes of Jamie olivers dives are closing down. He blames brexit Jamie Oliver to close six restaurants in 'tough market' after Brexit vote. The truth is they are shit and fifteen quid for fish and chips or a bowl of pasta won't wash anymore.

A sprinkle in time: the best watches for spring/summer 2018 – in pictures

Am I missing something, is there some kind of joke? Quite apart from the price of the watches (some of which are horrible), who the hell wears a donut on their thumb?

Ranging from £1250 to £23000. Says a lot about who they think their readership is.

As well as the doughnut thing which is just weird.

'Talking to my dad about healthcare the other day, I said, as I always do, that the ultimate health insurance for Britons living in the US is knowing we can come home for NHS treatment. My dad looked alarmed and asked if my daughters have NHS numbers, to which I laughed incredulously and said: “No, but what are they going to do, turn us away?”

This hung in the air for a moment and while my dad carried on looking uneasy, I found myself thinking, imperiously, “We are British citizens!” But, of course, this isn’t quite true; my children are American citizens too, and while I make national insurance contributions, I’m not convinced all our paperwork is in order.'

Ugh.

eating out ( aprt from the odd bday etc ) when you have a few kids just feels like another world now ... I miss it.

Is there a Times version of this thread btw? Couldn't find one on a cursory search but whenever I visit my parents and read their copy it seems to have gotten slightly worse each time. Anyway this is what's prompted me:



I mean I often criticise the Star's dodgy views on lots of stuff, but this is just nonsense, it's been front page twice this week, news stories, editorials etc. Plus that caption ... Just imagine, 3,000 job losses getting bumped over Theresa May ineffectually waving her fist at Russia. Outrageous.

 

[D'wards]

Say what you like about The Guardian- the fashion advice has always been spot on. I'd happily spend an entire months wages on this Mr Byrite shirt circa 1989

 

[D'wards]

And £255 for a pair of old P.E. shorts. They really are a bunch of cunts over in clerkenwell . Imagine wearing that get up in any working class pub, who they claim to champion

I think you're not entitled to NHS treatment of you haven't lived in the UK for a certain period of time, 3 months or a year or something?! Someone should tell her. We're already fucked.

King's Cross rather than Clerkenwell, but yeah, they are.

When I posted that article a friend of mine commented that it looked like Dylan Roof had started a modelling career Then another friend took offence at that on the model's behalf. FFS.

They know who their readership are: 26% of them are ABs who can afford expensive watches, and the other 74% are people who would like to be able to afford expensive watches.

She's been away for 10 years apparently so definitely isn't entitled to it.

It's the general air of entitlement and that she believes she (and her children) should be able to get treatment without paying into the system (paying NI is for pensions not the NHS as far as I'm aware) that's so fucking annoying.

Guess she and the Guardian don't see it as health tourism when it's someone like her doing it.

I have a pal who looks very much like Anders Breivik and another who looks like Raoul Moat.
Of course this was pointed out extensively at the time, much to the chagrin of both

I used to have a passport photo that made me look exactly like Maxine Carr. And when people saw it they'd look at me and go, hmm...

Can't even take a quick look at the front page on my phone now without it auto playing that video/advert (which also switches full screen)

I looked up the circulation figures of the newspapers. The Guardian has a shockingly low circulation, a fraction of the Sun and Mail and even The Times.

No wonder they have their hand out constantly .

 

[killer b]

It's the sixth most read news website in the world. If they can make that pay (and it looks like they are on the verge of doing so, precisely through having their hand out), the paper sales in the UK are pretty irrelevant.
