Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Hipster isn't really a thing. As such. It's just young-ish trendy folk. I mean, half of Brixton going by Urban 75 criteria, that's you lot that moved there BTW, could be called hiptsters by the same token 20 years ago. Hate not the hipster.. Well just alittle bit, the cup cake artisan beardy ones, obviously. But mostly they're just as fucked over as the rest of us.

OTOH, maybe I just don't cross paths with the real annoying ones.

I saw one the other day with his beard, his fucking glasses, his Hitler haircut and his fixie; his t-shirt read: BRING BACK THE EARLY 90s.

Nah, the 1950's...
 
I think the comments were mostly along the lines of "why employ this sodding criminal, Guardian?" and "Fuck off, Huhne", though, so that's sort of good. Well, maybe a bit good. Less than completely bad. Something like that. :)

It's not just the tents... There's gallons of booze and tons of food left behind when the crowds clear-off... At one point last year we were bringing in food and beer by the wheelbarrowload to our encampment post-event... One of the crew was pissed out of his nut sat atop a pile of Strongbow like a jakey Smaug... :D

The quality is poor though. Hundreds of cans of Wrongbow, Carling, Fosters etc with value beans, hoops and cereal bars. The real treasure is the stuff left by the traders but it's market staff who grab that :mad:

Yup. Seen it happen with other papers, too.

I know people say don't read the comments, but if you learn to read between the lines (or at least learn to rate people on credibility), there can be some good counters to bad journalism.
 
Whether intentional or unintentional, he's still a troll.

E2A Though if as you say they feel he's been wronged etc. It just shows how in some respects ,out of touch they are.

How? The only trolling i see here is reality trolling the cosy guardian bubble. That bubble thinks it's being principled in publishing huhne rather than cynical and many people are laughing at them as a result.

Yep, quality may be shite and the best stuff is available to markets but what can you do? It's free and nothing tastes better than free* :D


*Except value beans, they suck regardless....

I don't think that's the case with Huhne. The papers management are in broad political agreement with him - he's one of them, and they think he's been wronged. They also think he's a great informed journo with some inside tracks that either he or they will be able to usefully utilise at some point.

Agreed.
