Amrapaali not sure that's true. It thinks its in the right place. But there is something fundamentally dishonest about all those super privileged people (and trust me, they are), presuming to speak for the underprivileged. Not saying wealthy and privileged people can't have a social conscience and do good, but there's something particularly condescending about the Guardian currently IMHO.

Well, I'm a reader of the Guardian (we can't afford the newspapers/need the money for stuff like food or heating, but my work has tons of newspapers and asks for all to be taken home to save binning, so I happily oblige as far as the Guardian goes) and I'm a leftie and I'm not sure about MC. I am skint as hell, so I will stand on the sidelines as a 2/3er.

I prefer Do-gooding middle-class lefties, more accurate imo.

You called?

I read the Guardian on Saturday and the next day the Sunday Times. Yes, I know.

I am confused.

Hmmm quesadilla, I do remember some articles with a patronising tone. But I assumed it was just some chip on my shoulder on a particular issue.

Should I switch to the I? Smile

Me! Saturday Guardian only. Takes me all week to read it. Like The Independent too though.

Me! Hello. The increasingly poncy food/cooking stuff at the weekend is starting to get my weasel though, and the truly dreadful 'fashion'.

But I loves it.

As a dedicated cryptic crossword nut, I have to say that, in my opinion, the Guardian's offerings have the most variety, wit and style.
