I'm also too poor to be middle class, but I am a leftie and I read the Guardian.

Yep, although I do sometimes read the Indie and occasionally the Telegraph. I'm even wearing Birkenstocks.

One of my proudest moments at the time was getting an answer published in notes and queries on postmodernism the week I graduated from my bachelors degree. I was a bit of a plonker back then...

Oh I'm definitely in.

Look up "Guardian reading middle class leftie" in the OED and you'll see a picture of me.

I'm a lefty and can't bear the Guardian or the Independent or the Mirror, for that matter.

There are lots of reasons, principally because I think with a few exceptions, they are badly-written and badly-argued and betray voters, just as I think right-wing papers betray readers with poor arguments too.

That said, I know who I want to vote for, and I guess other people do too.

Not for the first time of asking on one of your threads: what is your point Hullygully?

Does it count if you read it online? (also read the Independent online). I prefer to think of myself as a wooly liberal (not that I am currently voting liberal at the moment, but did at the last election to my eternal shame).

Yep, that's me! I have Birkenstocks and eat lentils too.

We buy the guardian every Saturday, it feels all wrong if we miss it one week for some reason. No time for a paper during the week unfortunately.

I think that's me. I read the Guardian and am a leftie. I expect I'm MC by most definitions

Me. However, I also read the FT, Telegraph and the NYT. Like to get a balanced viewpoint.
