Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[Boris Sprinkler]

Of course it is, Frontex are terrorists. Europe wants to prevent african migration lest it become clear how much exploitation has occured on that continent by European interests. Frontex are the EUs way of putting their fingers in their ears and ignoring the real issues.

 

[bluescreen]

An honest acceptance that ‘taking back can’t of borders’ is essentially a racist endeavour

Anyone who reckons that the UK outside the EU is somehow less racist - hasn't been following the news.

Shame there wasn't a comments facility.

They are shy with allowing comments now.

I wish they were as shy with my local paper's comment section as it's mostly fash sockpuppets

Same here. The fact that such opinions aren't moderated bothers me.

Almost half of all meals are egg sandwiches or something else.

Some say more than half…

I bet they don't have a study, though.

Considerably less than half the population smokes, so some smokers must be dying six or seven times at least.

They should put that on the packet. Smoking males you die over and over again.

Local paper websites tout their content everywhere, meaning a lot of the commenters on Devon Live or whatever will be malcontent gammons from Surrey or Cheshire. This makes it look like there are a lot more of these twats than there really are.

It is getting ridiculous though. It'll be, Traffic jam on A38 causing delays and the comment will be, it's all these people coming here in boats, getting their free range rovers and driving down here so they can crash into a central reservation in Newton Abbot.

Thanks for the tip off. I'll spread the word.

A two-page spread on the cash-in follow-up to a show that wasn't on free-to-air telly:

 

[strung out]

If they only covered stuff that was free, their culture, entertainment and sport sections would be very brief.

 

[NoXion]

Does the Guardian review restaurants? Maybe they should stop doing that and instead review food banks instead. After all, you have to pay to eat at a restaurant, and only bougie scum are rich enough to do that.

I think you've established who the guardian is written for

TV differs from those other media, I think, as there are dozens of free-to-air options.

Not really when you remember the licence fee.

But the Guardian does give a lot of coverage to TV on the free to air channels. Just not exclusive. So what’s your complaint? That they should ignore all paid options because the free ones exist?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I think it is true that people who are really struggling probably aren't going to be able to afford subscription TV channels. The sort of reasoning that goes down the line of implying that more or less anything someone somewhere can't afford is a massive luxury isn't helpful though IMO. It just feeds into that 'flatscreen TV' divide and conquer nonsense that the tabloids and the Tories love.

 

[belboid]

We do recall that most people here downloaded Game of Thrones rather than watching via a paid subscription, don’t we?

After this little gem it's time to flush

Another load of auld shite from the guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/30/ukraine-using-wooden-decoys-to-lure-russia-into-wasting-its-missiles-repor

That's entirely orthodox, following eg the serbian decoy tanks against nato and so many many examples of this in the past. Only a guardian hack could think this in some way unusual

“I’m not saying my teenage boy is better than all the other teenage boys”… while really letting us know her teenage boy is much smarter than the “mugs” who watch Andrew Tate content.

Tim Farron hasn't been leader of the Lib Dems for over five years, since he swapped a totally fanciful dream, unsubstantiated with any kind of evidence, for being a Christian.

Is Farron the one who liked his chest pooed on?
