Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Would Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 70% tax proposal work in UK?

Generally speaking, a typically dull Guardian article, but it dfoes include this moment of genius:

However, despite being in the minority, the top 50%

'Half-baked: what the Greggs vegan sausage roll says about Brexit Britain'

And the standfirst seems to be going for a new record for 'stupidest example of Betteridge's Law': 'is the launch of a vegan version the latest salvo [in the 'culture wars'] or a chance for a divided country to heal itself?'

Can someone with more time on their hands and an appetite for getting deliberately annoyed read the article, and confirm it's a parody? If not, it's the most Guardian thing ever written.

Presumably he was employed by the remain campaign on the basis of his previous good work on the Yes to AV campaign. It's Will Straw CBE btw - he was gonged by Cameron for that great work on remain. Which i think sums it up and why they will lose any second ref as well.

In the actual article, she talks to a leave voter (possibly the same person) who ‘claimed’ to have voted because of sovereignty.

Wish you'd have post an image of the actual article. Presumably it begins with "Shoot me in the head for starters".

the best way a remain campaign that was determined to win could start would be to begin without anyone involved in the last shower of shit. and to make people like major and blair campaign on the leave side.

Example of an idiot in the guardian:

Corbyn’s no-confidence motion and the prospect of another general election does not appeal to Sinclair. “I think we’d still end up with another Tory government. The English voters are so hellbent on not having Corbyn, because they’ve been sold this idea he’s an out and out red.”

10% swing to labour under corbyn in england - 42% of the total vote

2% in scotland - 27% of the total vote.

Interesting in that slice of everyday street life that they manage to unearth a load of business owners and a leading lib-dem.

Is he so lacking in self-awareness that he thinks this is ok? And how did it get past an editor?

What a insufferably pompous twat she is. Even her name is like something Dickens would come up with as a comedic character name for an insufferably pompous twat.

The Guardian to the right of labour and conservative mainstream:

The 2016 Labour party manifesto proposed the abolition of tuition fees, while there are suggestions that the Augar review will recommend a significant reduction. Both proposals endanger vital widening participation resources and infrastructure. In fact, without compensatory safeguards, universities will have to dismantle programmes and initiatives, and dismiss staff who support students to fulfil their ambitions. The loss will be massive and will hurt a generation of young people and their communities.

Scrapping tuition fees will hurt your communities, so save your communities fight for fees at 10,000£ a year!

Terrible articles as well. What kind of nonsense is this:

The only escape hatch from this horror show is a fresh public vote.

In order to win bulk Labour votes, May could need to commit to a permanent customs union

Labour should move towards calling for a second referendum to break the Westminster stalemate.

My heart is with advocates of resolving this via a people’s vote, but my head is worried. Never again should voters be offered choices that don’t exist in real life, so returning the decision to the people only makes sense once parliament has stress-tested the options

Their beloved parliament endorsed the referendum.
