Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

It is foolish and self-indulgent for the anti-Starmer left to split the Labour vote | Sonia Sodha

The We Deserve Better campaign is guilty of promoting an absurd narrative

www.theguardian.com

God, if I was considering voting Labour this would be the perfect way to put me off.

I saw that and idly wondered whether she leveled similar condemnation against the labour right wing having sabotaged the party under Corbyn at the last two elections. I may be wrong but somehow I doubt it.

I think you could pretty safely place a bet on that one.

Was going to post this but you beat me to it!

I can't believe a national newspaper actually paid someone to write that piece of ill-informed, naive shit.

Yeh that is absolutely appalling. But it's hardly the worst piece of ill-informed naive shit to appear in the pages of the guardian

If I was thinking of paying for the guardian it's the sort of thing that'd wake me up from that

This article was amended on 26 May 2024 because an earlier version mistakenly gave the Jam’s Rick Buckler’s surname as Waller.

‘Politicians? They’re mugs, all of them’: Paul Weller on music, style and the state of the nation

At 66, the Modfather may have mellowed, but he’s lost none of his cool. Paul Weller reveals how he beat his demons, found a new sound – and why he’s still angry with the establishment

Sonia is also rather TERF-adjacent isn't she?

I didn't know that. Don't tend to read her stuff and won't be doing in future, going on the example I posted.

Another reason to think she's an idiot.

the 'most viewed' story on the Grauniad, published four hours ago, typo in the first line.

‘Termination shock’: cut in ship pollution sparked global heating spurt

Sudden cut in pollution in 2020 meant less shade from sun and was ‘substantial’ factor in record surface temperatures in 2023, study finds

Have they corrected it? Cos I can’t see any typos.

 

[ouirdeaux]

If there was a typo in the first line, I'd bet quite a large sum I know what it was.

 

[Silas Loom]

Should be “estimated to”.

 

[Orang Utan]

Should be “estimated to”.

Ah, i was looking for a typo rather than an omission

 

[ouirdeaux]

Oh, the actual text. How dull.

 

[ouirdeaux]

At least I didn't lose any money.

Yes, it’s hardly earth shattering. The story itself being so climate-denier friendly is rather more interesting.

Tenner, please.

Yes, my first thought was that it was playing into the loons’ mitts a bit.

 

[Dystopiary]

Sonia is also rather TERF-adjacent isn't she?

Sonia Sodha was promoting Nick Cohen long after much of his inappropriate behaviour (ie many incidents of sexual harassment and groping towards multiple women spanning years) had been made public. She was only too happy to throw other women - including former colleagues - under a bus whilst claiming to be pro-women's rights. She is very disingenuous.

My first reaction was that the writer had a fucking nerve writing it after Labour 'right' had done fuck-all else other than split the labour vote at the time. My later reaction was that the Guardian had a fucking nerve publishing it after the Guardian had done fuck-all else other than split the labour vote at the time.

Anyone fancing meeting up for this?

The one person being Chiles, presumably?

The urban riposte, an evening with spymaster, will doubtless be considerably better attended

Quite like this from Catherine Bennett about the right wing press going on about the poor old deprived parents who might have to pay VAT on their kids' school fees: Must we pity put-upon parents sacrificing all to send their offspring to private school? | Catherine Bennett.

Particularly given they then published this about the exact same thing: ‘Society is unequal but this is regressive’: parents on private school fee VAT plans

Good to see them finally acknowledging their place alongside the Mail and Telegraph.

Pragmatic neo fascism in the Guardian, lovely stuff

Smoking is cool if an attractive blonde woman does it. Felt a pretty shit use of a sports blog tbh

The law on single-sex spaces is a mess. It needs fixing, not political point-scoring | Sonia Sodha

Labour’s reaction to Kemi Badenoch’s plan to define sex is not only a hapless fudge, it’s legally illiterate

www.theguardian.com

More TERF bullshit. Pretty much fills up the entire bingo card, with extra added bonus point for playing the race card on Kemi Badenoch's behalf.

"Moderate".... Riiiight thanks.
This is the west's new man so the positioning work needs doing.
