There’s a tendency for articles from The Guardian to be shared here; here’s something from the Telegraph instead.

While I agree with some aspects of this opinion piece there are some segments that irk me. So it goes.

    Mixed feelings about this .

    People who don’t see the telegraph, need to know to how poisonous it is, and how detached they aren’t their readership are from reality.

    On the other hand, to see how triggered we are by it, suggests we are still vulnerable.

    every single word, of every single sentence, on every single page is to advance an agenda. We might not immediately know which, or whose, but it is committed to enabling hard right politics

    This country is damaged, but not beyond repair. All kinds of people, from all over the world still want to come here. Remember that, and try not be poisoned by constantly consuming messages from the ruling class, that help them stay in power .

      The part that pisses me off the most is that, for his audience, this is sage advice: go where the money is. Community and family roots mean nothing. Tories have sucked this place dry, and need to migrate to a new host. All we can hope is that the new host puts them on barges or something.
