I doubt Polly will be selling her Tuscan villa any time soon, but it will be a wonderful day when the BBC's in-house journal gets what it deserves.

That's the first time I've ever seen the daily mail seriously accused of informed political analysis! Unless you were joking? I suppose they do some right leaning political news between the benefit and immigrant bashing...

Its headline commentators are odious hypocrites who I detest.

Everyone can publish their views on anything now. Even if the Guardian went bust, Polly, Jackie and Seamus could make their incoherent and ugly thoughts known.

It is the institutionalisation - together with the amplification of everything the Guardian stands for by the other great evil of British media - namely, the BBC - which makes the Guardian so malicious.

It is sad that people will lose their jobs there. All of our national newspapers are great; they all provide different slants and angles. They are what keep the political debate going. I prefer the more informed political analysis of the Daily Mail, but I think the Guardian is still one of the world's greatest newspapers, and it is a great shame to see any of our newspapers suffering. We need variety and all viewpoints, and the Guardian and longfingernails both provide those.

molly she will say that they are workshy and feckless once they are on the dole!!!

Hmm

Celebrating people losing their jobs? How obnoxious.

And yet strangely true to form.

I wonder why you would care. Does it threaten your world view or do you just not like the fact that people are allowed to publish views you don't hold yourself?

I wouldn't mind if you just posted in politics all the time, but it's your sneery, gloating tone that I seriously object to. You don't want a debate or a discussion.

The Torygraph and Daily Fail will go long down before.

If you ever posted anything reasonably sensible or interesting on this entire website with all its different forums and threads about anything other than your tedious political view I might be a bit more interested in what you post.

That's ok. We can all read the Mail for well informed news!!! Grin

Oh go away longfingernails. You really are a tedious poster.
