Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[Pickman's model]

Now that I've thought about it...

There is a reason why the public's 'loath list' includes, lawyers, journalists, estate agents etc.

You cannot hope to bribe or twist -
Thank God! - the British journalist:
But seeing what they'll do
Unbribed there's no occasion to.

So are cadbury's and fry's who care not a jot who slaps down coins at a shop counter to purchase a creme egg or chocolate orange.

And Cadbury's are ignoring calls to remove palm oil from non-sustainable sources from their products. Guardian columnists are arseholes alright, but at least probably not many of them have killed an orangutan.

As the world population grows, and the un-raped productive land doesn't, at some point there needs to be a global decision on sustainable production of everything.

I'm not an eco-warrior, but do read about what is happening, and switch to 'cleaner' products when I can.

As the world population grows, and the un-raped productive land doesn't, at some point there needs to be a global decision on sustainable production of everything.

Won't happen, though, will it? We'll carry on as we are, until the destruction caused by doing so results in the deaths of enough poor people that the proportion of exploitable land becomes sufficient again for the population. Although sadly those that are left will mostly be the useless overpaid dross, like Golgafrinchan Ark Ship B in the Hitchhiker's Guide, and we'll be lucky if they can successfully grow any food - although they will be qualified to put together a smashing branding campaign for it if they do.

And that's the best-case scenario

Steady on, we should be putting pressure on editor for a similar deal here.

You mean you don't already have a deal?

Don't worry, I'm sure some of that sweet, sweet influencer lucre will trickle down to you Tier 3 guys sometime soon

I heard Pickman's model is raking it in as an influencer. And when you add in his Pingu franchise and sponsorship from the South Georgia Tourist Board, he must be worth a fortune.

Saw that last night and couldn't even summon up the energy to post it. I don't think the party's ever looked less plausible than this in my lifetime Which conference was she even at?

"getting a grip of a revitalised party"

There's one for the next Profanisaurus - "Keith, are you ready to come out? It's time for your big speech." "Nearly, I'm just getting a grip on my revitalised party first."

In journalism as in comedy timing is everything and what's supposed to be a serious piece takes on a new hilarious guise due to la Toynbee's publication date

Angela Rayner angered by Andy McDonald's resignation

'Liberal' Guardian quite happy to reinforce the misogynist and classist gobby northern lass stereotype if it helps them make the Labour left look even a tiny bit more crap.

 

[ska invita]

Labour members on Tuesday backed a £15-an-hour minimum wage at their annual party conference in Brighton. Although the vote was not binding and the policy is unlikely to be adopted by Keir Starmer, it has kicked off a debate over whether the legal pay floor should rise or whether an increase would drive up unemployment as the economy emerges from the coronavirus pandemic. Who suggested the figure is not clear but it does echo the “fight for $15” campaign of US activists, a sum that McDonald’s workers in Britain have said should be paid in sterling. Their campaign, backed by the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, was touted on a banner that Starmer was pictured standing near two years ago. : D

Standing near - #SoStamer

- the Guardian Analysis piece in general is pouring cold water on a rise in minimum wage, generallly suggesting if everyone made £15 an hour they'd be too weatlhy
its an amazing piece

Look how far down you have to scroll to find mention of the 'predatory' murder of Sabina Nessa.

The first four articles at the top of the page are on Sarah Everard's murder, as is the lead Guardian View piece.

I know one case was concluded while the other is ongoing, and the role of a serving police officer justifiably makes the Everard case stand out. But I can't help thinking those aren't the only factors in the disparity...

Did they not do white collars and stuff..?

Monoclo = single colour only so the grey would've been okay. The white bits OTOH...

Pah, special days indeed.

ah but the people in the pillory are wearing grey and black, which is of course beyond the pale

Yes, that's a fair point. Pillorying is too good for them.

(Just looking at my washed-out 'black' t shirt... )
