Is the Guardian worse than it used to be?

Christ, that final tweet from Pidd is shameful.

There was definitely a point where there were more Labour voters reading the Mail than the Guardian, there might still be for all I know.

Hitchens is unwell today's stand in columnist is Kieran Shitstarm

The Manchester Guardian was founded in the wake of the Pizzaloo Massacre to promote the reforming liberal interests.. Blah blah

The Griftian

What’s wrong with you?? https://t.co/0lrSXQzM03

I would pretend I couldn't speak English if Helen Pidd tried to talk to me tbf

lol

Wonder how she knew they were voting Labour if they couldn't speak English.

they made the universal sign language of the Starmzy which obv is the jerk off motion followed by a thumbs up

For those alleged Labour supporters who have been trying to get ex-Labour voters in this story cancelled, shame on you. Why not try to understand why Leigh went Tory and what it will take to win these folk back instead of piling on? https://t.co/Md7vsqUuQv

according to the article what it will take to win ex-Labour voters back:

- Leigh be more than 97% white
- lack of imagination

You can be working class and run a restaurant - or indeed be a property developer. Ask Andrew Twentyman how much money he makes from the Pizzeria: minimum wage. The Guardian interviews UC claimants all the time - I'm sure I will do so in Leigh before long too.

If you're in a hole stop digging.

Helen Piss will never log off

lol! It reminds me of all the times I've dealt with small business owners who live in 6 bedroom houses and go on countless holidays and say to me: do you know how much money I've earned this tax year so far eh? 200 quid. Without mentioning all the hundreds of thousands they are due from all the big companies that will pay up later when work is signed off.

although by her definition he is working class, because in her shit-eating piece it just really signifies "white"

is andrew twentyman really a name, getting big penn badgely vibes

I'm guessing he has a Northern accent, that's usually proof enough for UK media types.

The other guy in that article signs it off by basically going “ah well all those dead people eh? That’s 44000 pensions the government doesn’t have to pay for.”

he should get a job in a think-tank

Who asked for this?!

So if I misspell ‘dolcelatte’ is that evidence of working class identity?

idk if that is so bad, replace the chicken with decent mushrooms and throw the pineapple in the bin and you'll have something serviceable

is andrew twentyman really a name

it just means that one of his ancestors in medieval times was twenty men

Sorry but pineapple and sriracha is horrific.

yeah I did say the pineapple had to go

british people and their pizza, Jesus fucking christ.

chicken has to be the first to go and should never be on a pizza

(I'm british btw)

Chicken is fine tbh.

nope

Fped

Chicken is theoretically fine but I don't eat it any more and anyway good mushrooms create a similar effect but so much better

Chicken on pizza is hideous. Pineapple and sriracha sounds fine tbh but not on a pizza

chicken on pizza is just so dried out

I had a chicken pizza tonight it's pretty edible

pizza + guardian = internecine left violence

Fucks sake lads. Add a little oil and it’s good.

I'm a bit of a melt when it comes to pizzas, not discerning at all and love the Mexicano they do at the pretty dodgy joint across from the bus station that proudly display their 4 hygiene stars on the door and has a broken tv playing mysterious pop videos with no sound. Miss that place quite badly.

I will eat any old toss when it comes to pizzas but no going to some bougie tory artisan pizza joint and ordering chicken and fucking pineapple

Oh God no mine was chicken garlic and mushroom takeout cos too fucked to cook, can't imagine ordering chicken on a pizza anywhere good

Having been out for pizzas with Italians several times they seem a bit less hung up on all this stuff than we are.

there was a good program on pizzas on the radio a few years back that covered its origins as dirty af cheap street-food for scratters to the postwar foodie snobbery towards the first pizza restaurants, can't remember who did it but it was decent.

Anyone who has seen a pizza Viennese will be disabused of the notion that Italians, outside of Naples, perhaps, are purists about these things.

idk it sounds like you're talking about Austrians there

There is a very good scene in a film by De Sica showing pizza sold as street food. Remember thinking how nice it was not to fuss over fucking pizza (even if I have strong opinions on it like everyone else).

This is a tweet putting a few of those insta posts together. The Corbyn revolution would have liquidated that guy, no wonder he is still raging about him. He knows how close to a bad end he was.

ok so all of these look and sound legitimately disgusting but because it passes the “would this annoy an italian?” test unfortunately i have to approve of twentymans pizzas pic.twitter.com/DEnJPOKbkY

I mean this is the thread to share them, alphie.

My only die-on-this-hill pizza opinion is you have to eat it with your hands.
