Oh and the only thing the Guardian will have written is the headline. To read an article or extract from a book in any newspaper you need to remove the click bait headline.


I think I'm on the wrong thread to be moaning about click bait headlines which are everywhere and spoil an article.

Isn't that just freelancing? Which is standard practice. It's a graun article. They published it.

What makes me laugh about Guardian readers is when there is an article about drugs and in the comments section below there will be an utterly HILARIOUS (!) stream of people quoting Brasseye/Chris Morris quotes about drugs, every time.


Cake! hahahaha!


Puked up pelvis bone! hahaha!


Its not a drug its a drink! hahahahahaha!

More 'balance' from our friends at the Graun....


So, the Guardian on 31 July: ?The Guardian view on delaying elections: it?s what autocrats do.? This was in response to a suggestion from the US President that the elections might need to be delayed on account of Covid. And then on 17 August: ?By delaying the New Zealand election, Jacinda Ardern appears magnanimous and conciliatory.? This was in response to the New Zealand Prime Minister postponing the elections on account of Covid.

Exactly snowy, the US and NZ constitutions and election rules are completely different, NZ's, and I believe the UK's too, allows for delaying an election, the US's doesn't, even leading Republicans have come out and said the election can't be delayed, come Jan '21 Trump will stop being the US president unless he wins the Nov election. Even if the election was somehow delayed Trump couldn't remain President, yet he want's to do both. Recently he's spoke about remaining President beyond the fixed 2 terms, whereas genuinely successful Presidents have had to step down after their second term because that's what's required constitutionally. The man is deranged, have you read his 'tribute' to his recently deceased bother, it's all about him, quite extraordinary.

Do you seriously think Trump would ask for a delay if he was polling 60+% like Ardern currently is? Ardern would win a landslide, she's clearly putting the health of the country before politics. The two countries have had completely different strategies in dealing with Covid, NZ wanted to hit the virus 'hard and early' by having a total lockdown, which until this recent outbreak (minuscule compared to the US's daily rate of cases) was extremely successful compared to most countries. Delaying the election by a month is a continuation of this strategy and hopefully will reap similar results. Whereas with the US there has been no coherent strategy, no total lockdown, so what would delaying the US election actually achieve apart from Trump trying to avoid an election defeat? As usual it's about Trump putting himself before country, just as he always has...

Of course they're different. Didn't intend to start a in-depth discussion on the why's and wherefore's of the differences in context/polling/constitutions, or my opinions on who's right or wrong to delay elections.


More wryly amusing that the Graun can publish one blanket statement headline with no reference to context (they could have use any number of healines for the trump article...but that's what they chose)...then contradict themselves within weeks in a different context because it suits their narrative....

Should've called it a day years ago- it's the most unbalanced purveyor of half-truths and lefty shyte in the world and since they had to start begging for money months, even years, ago it just goes to show that a lot of people are 'waking' up to the rubbish from them (and the BBC)

...or....you can acknowledge the fact that I posted it in a thread specifically about the Guardian...not a thread about Trump or a thread about Jacinda Arden....

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy.


I?m confused more about how this prompted forum fantasist glenn to emerge and regurgitate his usual word salad; to your credit at least you can engage and talk about something even if i disagree with you. He seems to emerge from his YouTube right wing nutter rabbit hole.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
