"As 2019 begins… … we’re asking readers to make a new year contribution in support of The Guardian’s independent journalism. More people are reading and supporting our independent, investigative reporting than ever before." - says who? Don't trust the Guardian, say I: "Left-of-centre, progressive, generally pro-European, pro-welfare state, pro-civil rights, anti-monarchy." www.humantruth.info/uk_newspapers_comparison.htmlI do admit the Daily Mail is pretty crappy but it is entertaining. There are many spelling mistakes because they use cheap labour (or free!) young interns who are thick. The Readers' Comments (many taking the piss out of the DM itself) are often funny. And the News is broadly what all other newspapers have inside them (Meghan has a new dress, Meghan is pregnant, Meghan's dad is not welcome at Buck Palace, Harry is a War Hero, Wills and Kate are rather dull, etc.)  |

Gossip about members of our or anyone else's royal family is not news.
In Sainsbury's cafe yesterday, and picked up a courtesy paper ... the Mail.
I couldn't find any news.
Lots of discussion and opinion pieces about what has happened on the Brexit front, even more about people who appear on tv.
Even the sports pages were looking backwards at events, and largely just opinion.
If you find it entertaining, thats great ... but it is not a newspaper.

I couldn't find any news. I don't think you'll find any in The Guardian about the riots in Paris/France as it's probably been served with a D-Notice (kris reckons this to be the case) because your elected representatives, whose salaries you pay, (such as the Flabbapotamus) do not want you to know what's going on. The Guardian. Reviews: "Like the recently deceased News Of The Screws, I am also waiting for the Grauniad’s long deserved demise… Surely no-one actually buys it anymore?… That’s why they are always on the scrounge for ‘donations’… The end of this anti-English leftist rag cannot come soon enough… Oh, and the Independent can sod off and die in a ditch and all…" "I’ve always hated it’s faux pro-environment agenda, yet each single edition requires a whole tree" "Its greeting page asks you for “donations” – So in short – they are asking for brass to keep the man child Owen Jones in nappies for his leaky bottom dribble. To keep Polly Toynbee in Ferraris and the odious creeps like Will Self and a host of other columnists in clover." "That always has the Guardian begging bowl out, explaining that they don’t charge." "I hate the Guardian, especially their opinion writers and the letters page – they really hate the poor working class, the underclass, white men, conservatives, the rich and people who didn’t vote remain. I hope the paper goes down the drain because its not even a newspaper, it's pure propaganda for libtards. They deride the Daily Mail for being right-wing, but this paper is so left it’s hanging over the edge!" |

To be honest, I've stopped buying newspapers due to dissatisfaction over the content.
For years I read the Times, but that's become a joke like all the others.

Can you find anything in the media about the yellow vest protests in Belgium or Holland? No that's to close to home, don't want to give the population any ideas. |

I predict a narrow loss to Ireland then wins at home ... and a win in Wales. I'd like to say we'll beat Ireland, but they're a SERIOUSLY good team, and at home. Same is true of Wales, but we have a better record recently in Wales, and I think we have a marginally better squad. I am a bit excited  Rog |

To balance the picture, here are a few Guardian articles expressing concern over boating issues, which few national papers cover in any detail – Point taken, Nigel Seriously (but only for a moment, I wouldn't like it to become a habit) I have never bought any newspaper regularly - apart from Private Eye which is bi-weekly, and which can come up with some breathtaking investigative journalism. I've probably bought 'daily rags' perhaps four times during my lifetime. I have always despised 'working class' men* who bring a copy of The Sun to the workplace, begrudgingly let you borrow it to read during your lunch break, and then roll it up and tuck it under their arm and take it home, as if they are going to study it during the evening, and like it's something Precious. Any tabloid displaying tits on Page 3 or 7 can't be taken seriously; useful for swatting wasps, maybe. My dad used to buy the Observer, as I recall, and there was a Sunday Colour Supplement inside on.... er.... Sundays! I never read it (being between 5 and 18 in those days), but I am amazed at how much effort goes into producing large newspapers, lots of articles and lots of adverts - someone has designed them all, and done the drawings. Seems like a waste - today on sale, tomorrow in the bin or fire. I only started to look at the Daily Mail 4 years ago when I got my first smartphone - mobile phone with Internet connection. Checking up on the News from England and catching up on comments on Canalworld (I used to be a valued member in those days). I still look at the Daily Mail as it's 'colourful' - I don't buy into its 'bias' - and anyway, nowadays the new editor/chief is alleged to be of the 'Remainer Camp' and 'immigrant friendly' - though I bet he lives a million miles from anyone called Hussain or Abdul. Paper newspapers are, of course, tangible and the weighty tomes such as the 'Sundays' - great wads of print that they are - make you think you're in for an afternoon of it and an after lunch snooze, when you bring them home from the shop and slam them down on the kitchen table, thwump! *just the thick ones who believe The Daily Star is The Bible and who always bring to work cheese sandwiches (white bread) in a Tupperware box. |
