LOL! Yes, a classic indeed and it reminded me well of a lecturer that used those same descriptions, including the Sun readers, to a mixed class, when I was at university in the late 70's. No way would he have got away with that today!
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...0 -

We haven't moved onto Thatcher and Monty Python yet. If that happens you know some serious wealth has been destroyed.

I always thought socialists don't do sarcasm
I'm not a socialist.
I just believe in representing them truthfully.
Oh and I don't think the Guardian Editor is against share dealing either because they have a section on it with share tips.

Just moved a small Nutmeg account up a risk notch from 3 to 4 out of 5 but they only trade ETFs twice a week so no immediate effect. Still plenty of fuel in the tank incase this gets nasty.
Caveat - these are all long term investments and I am still well within my target risk range. Happy to run with increased equities exposure until the recovery is complete whenever that may be.0 -
The remit of the Guardian is to paint a pretty bleak picture [of everything that is not left wing]. That is what it's readership want. They want to know the world is awful and the UK is wrong at everything and that we should all be atoning for our ancestors and we are all doomed unless Labour is in power.
Each paper has a target market. The famous Yes Prime Minister sketch still works today. Although some of the papers have gone more extremist.

I would say the main reason railways are better and cheaper on the continent is that they are generally more heavily subsidised.0
