Guardian writer's scare tactics

[EdJ]

Take a look at this article in the Guardian by Jonathan Freedland: http://alturl.com/u5ih

Considering it's an article that many voters will read just before voting tomorrow, I thought I would highlight it here so that the PH massive can add their comments at the bottom of the article. So much of it is just plain wrong, and the quotation of Neil Kinnock's speech from 1983 without a whisper of irony is quite astonishing.

Yes - but all the Sun readers will read the article about Harman wanting to ban Page 3 and will vote Tory.

That's what this election needs: More tits.

Which bits are you saying are wrong ?

[strudel]

One would argue the election is already full of tits.

I don't read it but interestingly I was in Starbucks yesterday and the only paper around was The Guardian.

As I read that article, my jaw literally dropped.

What is stunning is that there are people who are as stupid as the author.

Some of the comments are quite frightening. The guy who blames Thatcher for the fact that his striking father couldn't afford to feed the family properly is a typical example.

You'd think with the price they charge for coffee, they could put proper toilet paper in the cubicles.

TBH I think the main three are more than enough...

Its the Guardian. They're preaching to the converted.

I still can't work out what those people think - They quote the horrors of a Tory government but it is exactly what they've lived through for the last 13 years. And to call MoveAnyMountain a 'Rabid Facist'... lol

To be fair old boy, I'd say politics has quite enough of those...

I had trouble spotting the text on that page (NSFW!). Considering the majority of undecideds are unlikely to be reading the posh press I suspect this will help the cause of the Conservatives considerably!

Doesn't take long for the word 'Thatcher' to come up, does it. Dear me. They really are still stuck in the 1980s.

Words cannot describe how much I despise the Guardian and it's typical readership.

[Justayellowbadge]

Hang on.

Does that piece suggest that a government redrawing constituency boundries to increase their election chances is a bad thing?

Without any knowing irony, whatsoever?

Good grief.

Easiest way in the world to raise your urine temperature is to read the SitsVacs section.

Guardian readers (and writers for that matter) simply don't get it. The state currently spends far more than it earns, ergo we cannot afford some of the services that the state provides, ergo cuts will have to made. Tough titties.

Labour specialise in leaving the country indebted and on it's knees. I hate them with a passion for destroying our country time and time again. That there are those intent on defending them is quite beyond absurd. s.

Guardian - tiny circulation.

Size matters.
