Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[belboid]

Saddams death squads didnt do no killing then, eeerrrrrrrr? Did I dismiss the oppression of Kurdish people in Turkey, or is that you intentionally giving what I said a different slant so you try and vex me with your sarcasm. Good job old boy'id.

of course Saddam killed people. But the death rate shot up during and after the invasion. IT caused more deaths than he did. That's he fact.

Add up the sanctions that s/he supports and the deaths caused by invasion and occupation that s/he supports and we're over 2 million. Now, what they comparing again?

so its a numbers game is it? I didnt kill as many as he did. Whos the worst Manson or Dahmer? And no, not supporting any invasion, just asking questions.

In order to establish the grounds for supporting an invasion and occupation. In think the numbers game matters to your case here. Can you answer it? Before you get heaved out the door that is.

you dont liberate people by killing them, its pretty simple.

I politely re-affirm that I am not a supporter of the invasion or Iraq. Think its important to retrace the steps once every so often. Also, I didn't use the euphemism 'liberate' until it was ironically used by somebody else. Though, I don't really need to mention this.

You made a case for supporting the invasion and occupation of Iraq - one based on made up nonsense. Do you want to retrace that? I didn't mention liberate either my little fake faker.

repeating something doesn't make it true.

Vargas Llosa is a fucking cunt who said during his election campaign that the culture of the Peruvian Indians needed to 'disappear'.

His stuff has been pimped all over El País ever since their new pro-PP owners took over.

Dodgy tax avoidance schemes and being subsidised by profits from Auto Trader, allegedly

They sold their stake in Auto Trader a month or so ago for £619m, leaving the Scott Trust with north of £850m in investment funds. They'll be one of the last newspapers standing. http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/guardian-secure-generations-come-after-tax-free-bonanza-£619m-auto-trader-sale

 

[butchersapron]

I just happy the peterloo dead finally achieved something: £1.4bn return on investment.

 

[butchersapron]

A GMG spokesperson told Press Gazette that they won't be paying any tax on the £619m because of the "substanial shareholding exemption" which automatically applies under HMRC rules.

 

[butchersapron]

All tax avoiding stuff applies automatically btw - that's how it works. You don't have to go and beg in person.

There are not enough facepalms.

now we've established the guardian is going down the pan, why hasn't it yet gone down the pan?

They make quite a bit out of being your first call for 'middle-class crumpet' at £32 per month:

Jemble central.

And I'm sure that generations of Oxbridge journalists will be pleased to hear it.

Twats taking down the comments when they don't get the comments they like.

Fuck me even the Daily Mail isn't that bad. In fact the Daily Mail comments are a great hoot when they backfire.

From the May Day live update page.

More May Day reading material. If Piketty is not to your taste, try Atlas Shrugged, the 1,000 page plus doorstoper by Ayan Rand, muse to Alan Greenspan, former US Federal Reserve chairman. It's fiction, of course, but as a paean to unbridled capitalism, it's an unsurpassable romp. It's about captains of industry who withdraw their labour and seek refuge in their version of Shangri-La, wrecking the US economy - deprived of their ingenuity, their pursuit of profit and self-interest. The book features a speech by the hero, John Galt, that goes on for 60 pages setting out Rand's argument for capitalism. Apparently those pages took Rand two years to write.

No need for this.

In mitigation, I was rather tickled today by the description of Steven Berkoff as “weaponised Gary Oldman” in an article about hammy actors

http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2014/may/01/hammy-baddies-film-kiefer-sutherland-pompeii

That guardian mayday "live update" only 'covers' 5 or 6 countries.

I lost respect for Berkoff when he did "Beverley Hills Cop". He really hammed that one to the bone.

i'm not sure if i'm pro- or anti-lenny henry but i think the general consensus is he's not as funny as he used to be. perhaps it's time for some challenging comedy from the younger generation.
