Ben, I just love your comments describing the 'coming together' of these two nefarious propaganda organisations. I have long held the view (as the editor of the Guardian knows well) that they serve almost exclusively, the metropolitan elite (or blobs as you like to say) - there being no connection with their roots as the Manchester Guardian. Just how this 'coming together' with Tortoise manifests itself will be worth monitoring. No shortage of money to hinder their agenda!

Thank you. Agreed they are entirely dominate by the pseudo-woke metropolitan liberal world view. I flicked through a copy of the Saturday guarding at my aunts’ a few months ago and it was completely unreadable. Self-satisfied, delusional, holier-than-thou clap-trap from cover to cover.

Tortoise - hidden in plain sight, the next step in the Fabian takeover of society. Even have the gall to use their original emblem

Great work exposing this✓

That's a turtle! Isn't it? Not a tortoise. Being pedantic.

Let's keep the spotlight on these revolting people.

Well done.

P.S.

The hand shape of Matthew Barzun. I've long assumed it's just a poise to take with the hands as advised by PR agencies, but it is so many of them.

Of course! Silly me. I'm so behind the times.

You made me laugh.

Joke from yesterday.

What's the difference between snowmen and snowwomen?

Snowballs! Boom! Boom!

The 'left' capitulated (or was professionally disposed of) and now they're going to be eaten... Sad.

This was always their destiny. An obsession with power (currency of the left) leads to total corruption just the same as an obsession with money (currency of the right).

Where hands meet 'around the back'. Totalitarian/libertarian seems to be the only political discourse nowadays, the left/right paradigm subverted... What a miss 2017 was for the UK. Thanks Keith.

Hardings 'civilised disagreements' are so chill when you silence those who disagree. Echo chambers of the Brahmin class are full of bad feedback loops.
