Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

No, they didn’t confuse them. They didn’t have a clue what they were talking about for a good ten years, possibly longer, never fact checked, but that never stopped them repeating bullshit as fact. Probably because people like you don’t give a shit about a subject you know nothing about.

I imagine cupid_stunt might feel differently to you.

It's all in the best possible taste.

Yes, can you see the difference?

I can see the difference the use of the word 'a' in the BBC article makes. I can also see the similarity in the omission of the word 'junior' from either article.

In other words both the G and the Beeb are using language in a way which (while arguably strictly correct) attempts to exaggerate in the mind of their readers the importance of IC. The G is worse, but the Beeb is doing something similar, IMO.

The editorial says the observer has criticised successive right-wing governments of the zionist entity, like lefty ones are immune from it. That it's anti-semitic to criticise the zionist entity as a jewish collectivity. But I was under the impression the ze had recently passed a law saying, in Netanyahu's words, it is the nation state of the jewish people Jewish nation state: Israel approves controversial bill

Capitalism must be shitting itself with such proposals as these " Among the report’s 73 recommendations are: a £1 rise in the minimum wage; the replacement of inheritance tax with a £9bn-a-year “lifetime gifts” tax; and greater economic devolution across the UK."

Absolutely bricking it. (((Capitalism)))
 
Today in Kettering, the WE launches its annual party conference, the undeniably catchy pitch for which is “Does the current state of politics makes you despair?” The theme is turning a year of marches and protests into action – deeds not words, as the suffragettes had it – and the programme evokes nostalgia for the days when politics was at least occasionally still about things like the failure to convict rapists or fixing a broken social care system, rather than fighting over the right to say offensive things about Jews.

I'd go but obviously I'm not middle class enough and besides I'm working out how to do horst wessel on the comb
 
Lovely neutral objective economic language here:

Tsipras said the tax cuts will include dramatically reducing a property levy for those worst affected by the crisis in 2019, and lowering sales VAT in 2021. Corporate tax, the bane of business development in the nation long on the frontline of the euro crisis, would be reduced from 29% to 25% by 2022.

Sick of waiting at the doctor's? The app will see you now | Hannah Jane Parkinson

Bit sad to read Guardian's Hannah Jane Parkinson, who has bipolar, defending/promoting the disruptive GP at Hand app, run by the odious Ali Parsa, founder of private Circle Healthcare, she says it is much better for her, maybe, but a Guardian article should go deeper, which GP's btl amongst others are providing

That really is shit. GP at hand is a private company that only accepts the lowest cost patients, leaving GPs with all the expensive ones, and GPs get paid a flat rate per patient so need some who cost less than that rate to balance out the ones who cost more. It's more fucking backdoor privatisation and the only people I can understand advocating it are the ones who work for them.
 
I got a text from my GP recently, warning that if you sign up for this, they're obliged to remove you from their list. I assume that must mean people are signing up for it without realising the implications.

And all scifisam says too. :mad:

She wrote a very good article about her experiences with the NHS and MH but I have a feeling that her frustrations have influenced the GP At Hand piece. It really glosses over the problems in one sentence about “cherrypicking” and implies that only GPs are objecting to it and for reasons of their own profit. I mean I don’t know anyone more cynical about GPs than me but I’m just as or more cynical about private healthcare firms and Tories ffs.

My local MP, Andy Slaughter, does a lot of stuff about how this is a shitty setup, which is where I first heard of it.
