Does anyone like Owen Jones? I mean I think there are a lot of great writers at the Guardian and I actually have some sympathy with their need to pander to the US wokebrains. But every cell in my body revolts at the idea of contributing to Owen Jones' salary. It's simply not going to happen.

I do wonder what would have happened if they'd gone left instead of woke. They're never going to be able to outwoke the heinous US media anyway. I'm sure it would have shrunk their audience but it might have been more sustainable long term, they might even have managed to become the voice of an important movement instead of scampering to catch up in the wake of wokeness. There's a real need for a proper left-wing media outlet that defends working class people, free speech, women's rights and other fascist dogwhistles.

(Yes, even "working class" is a dogwhistle according to the woke cult. How do they keep thinking they're the good guys?)

Amusingly, also two or three replies accusing The Guardian of being transphobic too...

Those comments are pretty damning. Encouraging to see so many of them.

The pandemic has hit newspapers hard in general, however. Reach (which owns the Mirror and the Express) has also made lots of staff redundant.

I'm a woman. They hate women. Why on earth would I return to paying for that?

I love that there are a sting of comments suggesting the OJ should be the one whose job they can cut. Grin
