Police officer filmed appearing to punch man repeatedly in head during arrest in Wales | Police | The Guardian

Independent Office for Police Conduct has launched investigation into incident in Porthmadog

“Appearing to punch man” - have you seen the vid and the pictures of his face afterwards?

 

[T & P]

Whereas the story in question has been reported by other UK media outlets and undoubtedly carries a lot of social commentary value, I struggle to understand how the Guardian concluded a man committing manslaughter against another man in New York should be the lead news on their website right now…

Would you have said that the murder of George Floyd didn’t warrant headline news?

It's a massive story. Another black man has been lynched and horrible incidents like these highlight just how messed up the US is. In terms of racism, and the treatment of person who have mental health issues or find themselves homeless.

I took my kids to the playground without bringing my phone – and it was a revelation | Emma Brockes

Relaxing into the boredom, it occurred to me that moments like these might just be what life is all about, says Guardian columnist Emma Brockes

I saw the headline earlier today and thought "ok well it might not be that bad, sometimes the Guardian gives perfectly reasonable articles terrible headlines for some reason". However this is not the case here.

I heard that Noam Chomsky emailed in to say that is was without doubt the very worst and most dishonestly-referenced article he had ever read

I shit you not - Polly Toynbee on the pain of the self-awareness of living a well-heeled life on the "left":

But to live a well-heeled life on the left is to live with inevitable hypocrisy and painful self-awareness, with good intentions always destined to fall short of ideals, social concern never enough, struggling to be good but inevitably never good enough. I hunted hard for any redeeming twig of a working-class branch of my family tree, without success.

Fuck, that excerpt is awful

Liberal wank based on US data.

Fuck gentrification, frankly. Make an area decent for everyone, not a select few.

Who?

tbh i'd expect most readers of, and almost all writers for, the guardian would welcome gentrification no matter how much they publicly deplore it

Spare a thought for Britain’s new persecuted minority: the privately educated | Frances Ryan

They’re losing their grip on Oxbridge, and Labour threatens to strip elite schools of their charitable status. It just won’t do, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Pathology invented for rich kids to explain why they're entitled little shits and still miserable:

For the title alone this article which I didn’t read out of principle

The pet I’ll never forget: I was so proud of my Sea-Monkeys – until their orgies repulsed me

Deprived of pets for most of my childhood, my first came out of a sachet. They were educational and prize-winning, but I couldn’t overlook their incessant sexual bacchanal

Nice of the Guardian to be paying attention to the preferences of the extra terrestrial community.

US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles

Whistleblower former intelligence official says government possesses ‘intact and partially intact’ craft of non-human origin

Ailidh Forlan, AKA food blogger Plate Expectations, tells me: “With the coming of the trams Leith is becoming a real foodie haven.” As I tuck into the best nduja and gorgonzola foccaccia this side of Bologna, I’m inclined to agree.

‘More tram-spotting than Trainspotting’: the new tram linking Leith to Edinburgh

The tramline to the old port means its Michelin-starred restaurants, seafront and cool venues are now just a few stops away from Edinburgh city centre

www.theguardian.com

People who come from Edinburgh, and especially who come from Leith, think you're all cunts. Literally no-one local calls it 'Feaster Road', wtf.

Feaster Road my fucking arse. Nobody does, weepiper, ever.

 

[equationgirl]

Also, the area of Leith hasn't physically fucking moved, it's always been a few stops from the city centre. They're acting like it's some magical new place that didn't exist before. Twats.

 

[oryx]

With the disclaimer that I have never been to Leith, that article contains every Guardian travel bingo buzzword:
'Natural' wines
Artisan bakery
Sustainable café
Food blogger
Craft breweries
Cultural hub

Best of all are 'Edinburgh's La Rambla' and the area having one of the highest numbers of Remain votes.

I mean I always check which way a place voted in the 2016 referendum before going anywhere - doesn't everyone?
