The Times for me as the quality of the journalism is pretty good. I used to read the Telegraph but its too big to read on the tram!

As you might expect I used to read The Guardian. Lately I've gravitated towards the Independent. I personally think the best sports coverage in the country is currently delivered by the Daily Telegraph. Pity about the editorials...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I have a subscription to The Times. In terms of sports coverage it is excellent but all-round it is a good paper.

Like Les I also catch the Mirror but it is becoming something of a joke. Todays' headline concerns Jacko and a missing nose. A week back it was Jacko and a missing brain. In between it is Jacko, Jacko, Jacko.

I don't know who is the Mirror editor these days but they are desecreting a great name in the history of British journalism.


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I no longer read a daily newspaper on a daily basis.

When I do, usually on a Saturday, I read the Telegraph

They use to say,

People who read the TIMES think they run the country,

People who read the TELEGRAPH want to run the country,

People who read the GUARDIAN actually run the country,

People who read the SUN don't care who runs the country,

As long as they have got big bosom

The full version comes from the much underrated comedy Yes, Minister:

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers.
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
