Great stuff. Their chatterati condescension, Islington moral vacuum and politically correct echo chamber has been a malignant blot upon our society for decades.

Let it wither upon the Viner.

Agree. I was always a regular Guardian reader. That reduced when I moved to Scotland over 20 years ago and realised it was an English paper not a UK paper. I still liked the international news though but over the past 5 years its view has got narrower and there seems to be no diversity of opinions or proper arguments. I feel like I'm being brain washed not informed when I read it.

I felt the same about Spare Rib in the late 1980s. It started to become more like the New Internationalist with loads of articles about women overseas. A bit interesting but not relevant to me and my situation. Women who complained in the letters page were criticised for being white middle class racists. It collapsed soon after that.
People don't want to be brainwashed and read articles that the editors think are good for them. They want to read a range of opinions and not be lectured to.

In the Guardian comments today there are lots of offensive F off and F you comments made by both Leavers and Remainers, in the context of articles such as the Goldman Sachs one. Moderation seems slower and weaker than usual.
