Default Not-very dry run for 150-year anniversary Met steam


Few ordinary newspaper-reading people on the Clapham omnibus today,
whether they read some hard-line authoritarian right-wing Murdoch rag or a
slightly liberal middle-of-the-road paper like the Graun,


On the whole, Murdoch papers are more liberal right wing (neo-liberal)
rather than authoritarian. For authoritarian right wing, you want the
Daily Mail.

As for the Guardian being middle-of-the-road, you have got to be
kidding, they're off the planet 'loony left', right out there with
many a Labour council, such as Brent, Islington or Rotherham, all run
by the sisters.

My other half reads the Guardian, a couple of weeks back, they ran a
piece about how wrong it was to buy your kids gender specific toys at
Xmas.

So I got it in the ear hole for buying one of the nephews Call of Duty
Black Ops II for his Xbox, mind you hadn't noticed it was an 18 (he's
14) but it'll do him good.

The Guardian or the Modern Parents there's not a lot of difference a
lot of the time.

Latest today, they're running a piece supporting the idea that all
those cookery programs, containing recipes that start take 8 ounces of
butter, should go out after the watershed.

In Guardian land Nigella is Satan, she'e the daughter of (a not half
bad) former Tory chancellor, cooks some f**king gorgeous food (that
involves pleasure) and the greatest sin of all she uses ounces.

Blimey, that lot fails to tick more than a few boxes, on the PC check
list, at the Guardian.
