Shouldn't read such shite rags Maringer.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I cancelled my subscription the day before the election. Just waiting for that to run out.

I always took the view, "Know your enemy", but the propaganda reached ridiculous levels in the run up to the election (blatant lies or distortions of the truth in the leading articles and editorials) and it's moved noticeably to the right in the past couple of years. Plenty of the opinion pieces were absolutely risible - when you have Matt Ridley (the zoologist overseer of the Northern Rock debacle) still given the opportunity to write about economics in a national newspaper, you know they just aren't taking it seriously.

The sports coverage wasn't generally bad and neither was that of the arts, but I reckon various internet news sites will be good enough for me from now on.

Quoted from Maringer


Probably the same bloke who wrote the match report in The Times today. That report had a paragraph about how McKeown was lucky to stay on and Taylor unlucky to be booked with that first half dive but then didn't even mention Puddy's handball outside the area!

Absolutely pathetic.


At least the view from the other side of the political spectrum gave a more reasoned report of Sunday's events

Factual account of the afternoon and arguably not biased one way or another...definitely not viewed through those blue tinted specs!
