As an Irish person, I refuse to buy the rag that is The Guardian. Up to others here whether they follow suit.

Yeah, that whole Guardian anti Irish agenda.

I must admit I have missed the anti Irish agenda, are you saying it is more anti Irish than the Daily Mail and other papers? I have certainly read articles looking at the Ballymurphy killings, and did for Bloody Sunday. If there are specific articles being racist against Irish, then I missed them.

Anti Protestant Irish maybe?

Any chance a kind person could pm me the article I despise the rag with a passion but would like to know what they've written (and can't seem to see the offending article with my search)

It's news to me that The Grauniad is anti-Irish.

An anagram of the Grauniad is 'I'd gun the IRA'.

Its this sort of subversive message that makes people distrust the msmTM

I like i. It's fairly unbiased and full of news with not too much opinion.

Meanwhile, my take on today's chip paper.

Had a quick search and I’m guessing it is because of the Julie Burchill business from the early noughties. I’m assuming he never looks at the Daily Mail and the Sun as well for similar reasons. And also stopped watching Jeremy Clarkson after the producer incident.

Obviously.  Clarkson is the Daily Mail in human form surely?

Personally I like the I - relatively straightforward and a big emphasis on science and innovation
