Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[Pickman's model]

Carrying four pints is surely a basic skill you learn when you start going out. Or the ability to ask someone to come with you to the bar for a hand.

the trick with lifting things, beer or otherwise, is to get someone else to do it

She has a pretty shit wage though, so that's an odd article.

Nothing to link to here but just to say that the Guardian do a deal with WH Smiths each weekend. I think it's to get the book for half price (or under) & the token appears in Saturday's guardian but here's the thing, I've never yet managed to spot any of the books in Smiths.

Tbh I can relate to a lot of that, I was really skint as a student and on the dole for a couple of years after and never got out of the habit of living frugally, even when on a reasonable (slightly below national average) wage and mortgage paid off I was still pulling stuff out of skips, hunting out the yellow stickers in supermarkets and walking rather than getting the bus. It never leaves you, I just can’t ever treat myself, especially now we have a much bigger mortgage again and big debts from building works,

She admits they committed the offence whilst out on bail for other similar offences...then concludes should just be tagged

Thanks I wasn't aware of her. Observer is such a rag.... In my mind it's there to soften opinion specifically for Labour right policy so this article suggests to me Starmer is going nowhere on these new harsh sentences

Starmer, whose Doughty Street chum Nick Paul was in charge of the CPS office directly liaising with police running the Mark Kennedy undercover operation to entrap climate protesters, doubling down on harsh sentences for non-violent defendants-of-conscience?

Starmer, who as DPP accepted the whitewashing Rose Report's conclusion that “the failures [of the CPS in how it acted before, during and after Operation Aeroscope] were individual, not systemic” at face value, despite all the evidence to the contrary?

SURELY NOT!

Still, nice to see there's one type of dysmorphia the guardian won't dismiss as a scam.

Shit article too. Why should the pig be able to bring his wife over (who can’t work)? He can’t support two people on £26,000 income and police jobs here are over subscribed.

Plus: the starting salary for greater Manchester pigs is £28,551.

Poor tree! Sadness in its eyes...... We need the conservatives

I feel like the writer has a bit of a hazy idea of what most people would consider "ultra" processed here ...

Tesco and Sainsburys have a couple thrown in for 'balance' ("other supermarkets are available")

The rest, being the Guardian, is a fucking advert for Waitrose and Ocado.

Lucky there's nothing else going on at the moment, so Sonia Sodha has found time to curl out yet another pile of transphobic shite.

The BMA’s stance on puberty blockers defies the key principle of medicine: first, do no harm | Sonia Sodha

Doctors’ union attacked the Cass review that found the treatment may pose a risk to children

www.theguardian.com

It’s not the first time that the BMA has embarrassed itself by making interventions in critical health policy issues that it doesn’t properly understand

Um, do we not think there's a chance that the British Medical Association understands health policy a teensy bit better than you do?

The sheer fucking arrogance and hubris of these oxbridge PPE types should have ceased to amaze me by now, but somehow they keep finding new depths to sink to.
