Who Reads Guido?

Guido did this a few years ago, not much has changed really this year – except the reader numbers have got bigger. Beeboids browsing, gossipy parliamentarians, bored brokers, lawyers loafing, accountants and lazy Lobby hacks are the most easily identified from the server logs. Students from the better universities, party HQ staffers and lobbyists make up the numbers.

Watching you, watching Guido…

*The Guardianistas have two servers (ranked 8th and 43rd), add them together and Guido turns out to be more avidly read on the Farringdon Road than in Wapping. Ranked 31st is Andrews & Arnold Ltd, who supply the internet connection to 18 Doughty Street, home of PoliticsHome and ConservativeHome.

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:

“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
