Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Meanwhile...the polar ice-caps are melting because of those German toss-pots...

How nice to see "toss-pot" used in its original sense. With such a fine ear for the English language you need never worry about finding yourself on the business end of a Guardian copy desk.

It's only cos he considers the fact he's a twat to be fake news, though. But it really isn't.

Tom Morris, who owns 90% of Home Bargains parent TJ Morris with the other 10% in a family trust, studiously avoids the limelight. One of the few photographs in circulation of Tom is the businessman awkwardly posing with some Morecambe pupils after being allowed to land his helicopter on their school field to visit a new store nearby.

“Tom is very impressive,” says one business associate. “There is a humility to him that is very admirable. He is very private and does not flaunt his wealth.”

A good advert for the Guardian.

Seems to be their most viewed story at the moment, so not bad in terms of easy revenue either.

Can someone please put Adrian Chiles out of his misery, btw. Agonizing.

Yesterday they ran a breathless piece very prominently (i'm sure it was the lead online piece for a while) screaming that "remain could win general election"if only 30% of pro-remain voters change their vote in the upcoming general election. An hour or so later it was replaced with Tactical voting website criticised for 'bogus' advice outlining how it was lib-dem bullshit and if the advice was followed it would boost the tories. So aside from the fact that they're so desperate that they either mistake or are prepared to lie that the election is a referendum (legally binding in their minds no doubt) they're very happy to be mugged (Donal Macintyre in Brixton style) and shown not to actually do classic journalist basics anymore. They're barely even pretending to be doing UK political news anymore. This is like that crap poll on the end of the lib-dems are shit thread.

Election time really brings out the finest in the Guardian. It's day three of campaigning, and at this second, this is their front page.

They fucking love it I reckon. It's the first sign they've seen in years that anyone gives a toss what they think. OK it's a washed up old bigot but if they've annoyed him that much at least they can carry on telling themselves they matter.

Half of them used to work for the fucking NME anyway.

Did you read it? Curious about how brunch can encroach into afternoon without becoming dinner (or 'lunch' if you like)

 

[butchersapron]

Brunch should have its own thread.

Always assumed it was a contraction of breakfast and lunch so pre-noon, but not going to read the article.

Brunch is obviously late morning, not early afternoon
