I have black friends. I work hard pay my taxes and dont commit crime. I would have hated the Nazis if I had been around in those days. And I vote BNP.
So Mr Smug Liberal journalist, your point is what exactly?

Once again, it's one standard for black people and another standard for fucking idiots like myself. Get a grip, Gordon.

That's why The Times is a good starting point. Maybe the Indy as well but yeah political balance and shit. The Torygraph is more solid across the board but when they decide to be ridiculous they top everyone If you're going to be a bastard at least be straight about it like those darlings at the Metro or The Daily Hate Mail. I've said it before and I'll say it again, at least The Times is upfront about its fuckery. Also I think my hatred spewed over into 'wanting vengence' when they hired Peaches Geldof briefly. I swear my eyes rolled back into my head. That was the end for me.
ability to operate in a sensitive political environment Lol at 'choice phrasing'

Yeah, if you're going to have right wing keech and tollie then at least the Times is honest right wing keech and tollie.

From this photo I assume "local coffee shop" means "McDonalds next door to Dunkin' Donuts"

the vegetarian recipe and charlie brooker's screen burn. i wanted to cry last week when they replaced vegetarian food for things-chefs-do-with-lamb.
― schlump, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 12:45 (fifteen years ago) link
and brooker was off sick last week too. oh these dark times.
― blueski, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 13:08 (fifteen years ago) link
i think the thing about the guy in the coffee shop is perfectly okay! the problem with it is the (presumably a sub's fault, or something) headline that suggests it is a criticism of "bloggers" and not "a guy in a coffee shop". sadly that is probably in the top 18%, say, of this week's guardian columnist's efforts

Bring back "Powerblogger" Tony Naylor and Ruth Fowler's Daddy Issues
― The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 14:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I believe an anti-blogger clause has recently been inserted into the Guardian's Code of Conduct.
― Dingbod Kesterson, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 14:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Is that Ruth Fowler facebook group still going?
Ah, there's a different one now. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24256040691
HAHAHA, here's a rum thing. I have a mutual friend with her. This mutual friend is the boss of the modelling company who gave me a day as an extra on a Bollywood set. Looks like Ms. F's been doing some saucy stuff on the sly.

who is worst columnist in the guardian then? I can't decide if I'd nominate Zoe Williams or Laura Barton. Actually it's prob hard to beat Barton, that "shit poetry" style of music writing is really sickening.

As if on cue. (+ I didn't even see Ronan's post till I'd posted that.)
Par exemple
His (Tom Parker Bowles) sister is nice, but at a party I once told him that something he was saying was the most smug thing I'd heard in a month of Sundays, although I can't remember what it was now (I posted about this party at the time). This is probably because immediately to our right I was spooked by my friend Dan arriving to same party in a group comprising some artphags and David Furnish.
My favourite Suzy quote to date..

i love zoe williams. i don't know what's not to love about her. i think she was at her best documenting pregnancy craziness. i guess that writing about childy family kind of stuff might put her in with the fifty best ecological half term holiday day trip supplement kind of guardian filler stuff, but i think she's entertaining.
― schlump, Sunday, 3 August 2008 13:35 (fifteen years ago) link
that's Independent filler stuff, by definition

For the love of god can they ditch this "we sent our SPORTS journalist out to mow a lawn/drink a beer/have a bath" thing they have going at the moment.
It is so lame and is exposing how bad the writers are. EG the Olympic Sports one with pieces beginning "It was a sunny day in East London" etc...it's woeful!

They had a resident feminist the other day demanding that, at the end of their sentence, released female prisoners should get the same kind of support given to the likes of Barry George

One problem with the online edition is that rubbish like that is just one click away from the front page. If that were in the printed edition, it would thankfully be buried somewhere in one of the weekend supplements.
