Not surprise.. just pointing out that it's a little perverse.

OK. Have fun with that

Anyway, I don't 'trawl' the Guardian - as has been noted here many times, I read the Guardian. For all its faults, it still has the best news coverage for a UK newspaper.


Unfortunately (though often amusingly), it also has the most bats**t-crazy and reality challenged columnists and opinion writers for a UK newspaper. And, yes, they do print things that deserve to be highlighted and mocked on a semi-regular basis.


Besides, I think any sane person would think Alanis Morrisette's advice was dangerous and should not have been printed.

Blimey, it is easy to wind up Guardian readers.

Nicely done.

I don't believe in God, but I do read the Guardian (and the Observer)


Both are in their own 'world' of bonkersness, but there's nothing close to them that I like to read


And the food sections of both are 'word' for the industry


The weekend FT is my anchor to a harsher reality and it's a pretty colour

    • I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.
    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
