Guardian Goes on Strike

Scabs beware: the NUJ are taking no prisoners for this afternoon’s Guardian and Observer strike. The walls at Kings Place have been emblazoned with shouty red “stop work” posters and hacks are being warned not to break ranks. Friday evening without them, what will we do…















How will we know if this is true?
Not on BBC so it cannot be true.
Yesterday was full of Guardian quotes on Today, World at One etc etc.
Quiet bliss today.
I used to lisetn to Radio 4 – many moons ago – until I realised that about 80% of guests and commentators came from Socialist organisations.
Just exactly who do these journalists think they are serving by denying the Guardian to their sparse readership?
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
Well said, hitchins.
We will not be reporting on this:-
Jimmy Savile: BBC acting like ‘secret service’ as 3,000 pages of evidence are released
THE BBC is facing further embarrassment today as thousands of pages of evidence from an inquiry into Newsnight’s decision to drop its Jimmy Savile sex abuse investigation are set to published.
However, the BBC has redacted over 90 pages of evidence in which staff, including Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman, are highly critical of senior executives.
We have learnt how to hide reports and to waste public money defending this act (Balen), as well as to censure all our reports for damage limitation.
So there – put that in your pipe and smoke it!
But don’t you actually have to start work before you can stop it ?
Another LOL moment.
Was QT actually live last night or was it recorded the day before and this bit left in to embarrass the NuCons.
More Fabricant gold:
“Just spotted Vince Cable in Eastleigh looking like a war criminal with hat pulled over face”
… and the difference between our choice of head covering is that mine has an obvious purpose
Is it true that the Grauniad is behind the Save out Libraries Campaign because without Library sales their circulation figures would collapse
Shouldn’t it say “STOP WROK”?
POTS KROW?
WOK STROP
POST CROW?
Its all fatchurs folt.
I purchased a copy of the Guardian in 1982.
Never again.
It’s much better nowadays…
Is really? Read it on your fucking Ipad do ya? Standing about in Costa in your flannel check shirt with your little beard like a c’unt do ya? Ride a fixed wheel bike do ya?
Fuckwadd.
I like the cut of your jib Tom Tit. Forgotten how many times ive fallen out with the memeber sof the Hitler Youth Ramblers Association when ivc been on my way over to White Heart Lane. All bearda and turned up jeans. horrible.
No it is not. The newsprint comes off on your bum now!
I used to in a shop work round the corner from the Guardian’s office in London, what a bunch of up their own arses little fuckheads they all were. Vile middle class c’unts each and every one. Spoke to us like we were scum Sack the fucking lots of them, then watch them have a mutual wank off on Twitter like any one gives a flying monkey fuck.
Tit by name…
I was at the Groniad HQ last year – if you want to meet rich, pompous, self-important, ignrorant wankers – then this it the place for you.
Doubt one in 1000 of them had ever had a real job or done a day’s honest work – more cut glass accents than Henley.
@!*?&@@*&£
Surely nobody buys the Daily Express? Please tell me no one buys the Express.
Certified circulation 2 billion. Honest Guv!
Owen – You should be at home preparing for school next week!
It’s just someone being arrested for having ginger hair.
Nothing to see here, move along.
I think I once bought a copy when it was still “The Manchester Guardian”.
I last bought a copy when Manchester still had a Roman garrison.
Only joking. I’ve never bought a copy.
Back in my day, seated on the sofa listening to Radio Luxembourg on 248 metres medium wave, Friday night was always “Amami night” when one washed what remained of one’s lustrous locks and drank Horlicks to avoid what was then known as ‘night starvation’.
Has much changed in the interim?
In the good old days when I used to fly from Glasgow to HR in business class they used to hand out the ‘free national newspapers’ to everyone starting at the front of the cabin. Of course all the ‘real papers’ went quickly but the poor sods in the back of the business class got a stark choice between ‘The Herald’ and The Guardian, they always took the Herald !!! I believe in a token gesture, scruffy people in coach got The Guardian to read FREE. To cap it all I once had to sit next to Kirtsy Wark for the ‘whole journey’ and believe me she is an ugly, arrogant shit !!!
Perhaps the BBC and Sky news will take heed that no-one reads the Guardian other than left wing ideologists and stop paying Polly Toynbee to express her warped views. Is she striking or being paid anyway as a columnist?
It’s a dying rag and its journalists are hastening it’s demise .
if the guardian does not get a good price for autotrader then it is sunk, as this money will be used to fund its losses.
during the years of plenty it splashed its cash on half baked ventures (except autotrader) rather than investing it in index linked bonds.
the observer will be next to be axed to be replaced by a 7 day guardian paper
Disaaaaaaaaaaaster. What will I use to wipe my bum on?
Demented middle class trots. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their arseholes.
