Thank you.  Have a blow job.

I thought you were making that up, fucking hell, that is a hell of a lot, they must be short. £309 for the year for digital only is the best option it would seem but to be honest I don't know many people who would waste that on an FT yearly subscription, mental.

Maybe it's tax deductible if you work in the City (and pay a lot of tax). I suspect a lot of its sales are to companies and institutions.

Organ of the left, here.

It's a bullshit Westminster comment piece chiefly about Sunak's popularity written by a Spectator journalist. Including such pieces doesn't mean the Guardian loves the Tories. I don't see what's objectionable about this story specifically.

Katy Balls is an organ indeed

This thread has effortlessly morphed into a Guardian weekend feature I don't want to read

While you're here, I have £600 to spend on a t-shirt and a cushion. Any ideas?

[Sebastian Cobb]

Katy Bollocks more like.

Neat.

Free digital sub to the striving sixth formers of today (and by extension teachers). It's all drivel though.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I know who Katy Balls is, cheers.

Why do we keep torturing ourselves like this?

Lol thread has a sticky now.

Emma Brockes today talking about the inauguration:

"This largesse extends, briefly, to Republicans, or rather to the gnome-like figure of George W Bush, who you are not permitted to feel fond of without someone reminding you of Iraq, but today one still does, a courtesy very much not afforded to Mike Pence."

Those killjoys reminding Emma about all the dead Iraqis. Surely I'm not the only one who considers George Bush's track record to be worse than Mike Pence by an order of magnitude?

of course, veeps don't seem to have much power

Yuck. I saw this at the time. Filled a bucket with sick. Just topped it up.

Hadley Freeman has decided another bit of popular entertainment is made by male chauvinist pigs and had a tantrum over it

Fucking hell.

The best description of Biden (on him being the 'factory reset' the world needs) came from someone on another forum I go on:

He's more like when you twist your audio chord a bit and the audio comes back. You know there's a problem but what are you going to do about it? Nothing, that's right, you're going to sit there, on the sofa, listening to your jungle tunes until the audio cuts again, then you'll do exactly the same thing.

Fucking hell.

Jay Rayner here taking at face-value a fulltime online antisemitism finder claiming some screenshots of a deleted Facebook post prove that horseshoe theory is real

https://twitter.com/jayrayner1/status/1356370083631816704?s=19

The only proof that those comments are "hard left" is they are under the Guardian (and as it's deleted I can't see how truly numerous they were)

Edit more on that funny old guardian/observer divide

Great Replacement Theory!

https://twitter.com/nurealisme/status/1356568769213120519?s=21

Another clear signal of growing anti-Semitism in the EU. Politicians keep looking away, and ignore this vast problem. Meanwhile thousands of Jewish people are leaving every year. Because they don't feel safe anymore. Just to be replaced by even more anti-Semites.

But this type is ok, obviously.

[BlodwynPig]

Very tiresome.
