Hugh Grant stars in the new Guardian advert, apparently free of charge as he is a “long term reader and advocate of the Guardian”, but as Times hack Kaya Burgess points out, what is this under his arm? Owned…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Suck me !
Good to see his newspaper’s wearing protection.
Where was I Grant, oh yes, of course, you Spike characters – you do tend to get around, don’t you, old boys. Put some clothes on omd boy, we might get visitors.
Song for Michu, who helped slaughter Chelski last night at home, the iberian celt from north west Iberia,
He’s on the right, by the way, tories.
Grant’s two mate’s from such,
Julia, in her early knickers,
throwing them over the fence to the neighbours.
No offence intended, but can I be the only one here who has no clue what you’re on about?
Notting Hill, and that overeducated fungus that calls himself Hugh Grant?
No? well I am wasting my fingers here.
What’s “owned”? Is it another degenerate yankism?
I’ll have a dark Americano with added cream, please.
no chance, I’ve learnt my lesson.
How much again?
Both the grauniad and huge rant hate press freedom.
I still can’t believe this joke of a man has been given the power to influence what I may read in my daily newspaper.
Is that your purse he is clutching?
I dont care what he read he still makes shit films!
Never watched one, never likely to.
Shit films…they aren’t that good.
I would like to see them
#NotNews
Its the FoxNews of blogs , wadda ya expect?
Opps, Quality control seems to be lacking at the Tax avoiding, pedo supporting Guardian.
“Celeb reads more than one paper shocker”. Really?
Hugh only looks at the pictures mate.
Pity Grunt can’t play more than one character though and a shit floppy one at that.
He played ok with me honey.
The Guardian is there. He’s hiding it behind The Times’ cover
Plausible…
I hide mine in a copy of Razzle. I wouldn’t want my neighbours thinking I’m some sort of leftist puff.
There are also fewer spelling mistakes in Razzle.
Shouldn’t this be pwned rather than owned ?
‘Owned’ is how the Grauniad spells ‘pwned’.
Really? Does this count as news? Slow days at Fawkes towers? And who says he can’t read more than one paper?
Is the Groiniad a paper?
He only reads the guardian when I am in it.
The truly excellent crossword puzzle within justifies absolutely the price of a copy of the Guradian, even if the preservation of one’s dignity requires a further purchase of Razzle (or possibly even the Times) with which to effect its concealment.
The crossie is free (fttb) here http://www.guardian.co.uk/crosswords .
Look I am a sanctimonious twat, get over it
Another member of the tribe that look at themselves in the mirror and feel that everybody loves them.
This of course means that we will slavishly believe in everything they grandstand about. Its why they do it folks.
What they dont realise is, nobody else thinks they are that good and wise.
So unbeknownst to them lose more followers than they gain.
Obvious if you think about it, anyone with money can get their knob sucked.
This is a still from Hugh’s latest film:
The Englishman Who Went Out to Buy the Guardian but Bought the Times Instead
Matt Foster @mattfosteruk
Chris #Huhne and Vicky Pryce trial still set to begin at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, according to list office.

That’s Hugh on his morning paper round.
He also has the Daily Star wrapped up in his copy of the Leveson Report.
Lick my dick!
Whats the strap line for the new Hugh Grant Guardian Ad? “I like to pick it up on the street.”
I like to pick it up i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶a̶x̶i̶ on the tube.
They nailed the talentless one-note fucker a treat on Family Guy.
The Times? Aren’t they owned by the same media mogul who owned The News of the World?
Just thought I should spell it out.
Correct.
What ya gotta ask yourself, punk, is “Do I feel lucky?”. Well, do ya?
Wheres Liz Hurley?
wow, lots of real jealous people here commenting about him.
Just remember you keyboard gangsters, he’s done more for the average british guy than 99.999% of other british men.
He’s pretty much the sole reason why you can fly to america and bang as many american chicks as possible….why? because they all think we’re a gentlemen because of the stereotype we have because of actors like him.
So…I tell you all, say thanks and quit pretending you’ve done something useful for the male species.
Hunts
Good point there.
Yes, that’s right.
All positive feelings yanks have about the British male are down to Hugh Grant.
I suppose they all think we are fiends for public daylight car sex with downscale hookers too?
I think you ALL have the WRONG Grant stereotype of the perfect Englishman in USA.
I concur.
Me too * dons tight safari suit*
The BBC subtitles (which I use to watch telly when Mrs L is asleep) interpreted the twats name as ‘You Grunt’. Couldn’t have put it better myself.
I think it could be put slightly better!!!
The whinging useless has-been actor will be phoning Leveson as we speak about that photograph.
What an infringement on his life, I mean it shows him to be a lying bastard
Hugh Grant is a hypocrite.
Hugh Grant is a hypocrite.
Apparently he’d forgotten his voicemail password and wanted to check his messages.
He’s just a whinging sex-crazed commie
One wonders what some of the more strident feminists amongst the ranks of the Guardian columnists (Bindel, Bidisha) think of their paper’s standard bearer.
After all hiring hookers off the street to honk you off in the back of a car hardly seems to sit well with their views of what constitutes acceptable male behaviour.
It is unclear at this point whether Divine was in the back of the car or in the front …
Principles are sidelined when it comes to furthering the cause.
Rather like Shami Chakrabarti sharing a platform with Max Moseley?
You have obviously never seen me, or seen me in action.
… wee Hugh “Hacker” Grant’s TV appearance after the Divine episode is a useful template for the ghastly Lance Armstrong’s planned cathartic exercise with that black woman …
Cathartic exercise? Harpo gave up doing any exercise years ago.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
Sheeeet Hugh you’s a 24 carat ASSHOLE I’m tired o’ yo cussin’!
You got caught wid yo pants down.
Whut de hell wuz ya’ thinkin’
You’s is nodin’ but some honkyfool.
You be shittin yo pants at some BLACK pussy yo white boy pussy!
So it’s the Times of July? 2011. Which means that if he bought it for himself, he might then have decided to read The Gaurdian instead from then on, making him a regular reader for the last 18 months, which is 17.9 months longer than most people, including any staff which haven’t yet been made redundant.
Or – he could have been buying it for a friend. (OK, not very likely – he has no friends).
Or he could have bought it because on this particular day it gave him the best review he’s ever had – ‘Hugh Grant isn’t quite as awful as he is in all his other films.’
Doesn’t know his left from his right.
