Speaking from his hotel room, a British businessman, who did not want to be named for security reasons, told BBC News he had pushed the furniture against the door for protection. He said he had heard gunshots, blasts and people running along the corridors throughout the night. "It's not the most pleasant of experiences," he said. "I suppose it's a question of British stiff upper lip."

Exactly the kind of article that should lead to bad journalists being rounded up and shot.

Date: 2008-11-29 12:09 am (UTC)I don't take everything I read I the Guardian as being true. It's not meant to be. It's an insult to proper Guardian readers to suggest that we can't make the distinction. If you want to read the Independent or Times or whatever, go read the Independent or Times or Whatever.

Date: 2008-11-29 03:39 am (UTC)I am no longer an angry, precocious twenty year old. I have outgrown the Guardian. This saddens me, but I feel it's something I have to come to terms with.
I read the Independent the other day. It felt a little like a rite of passage.
Edit: I should add that I still enjoy the Guardian in a good writing, interesting columns kind of way. I just don't really regard it as a newspaper any more. More of a sort of slightly higher-brow magazine that gossips about politicians and the economy instead of celebrities' boob jobs. Mostly.

Although I guess as a chick I get to do as I please...
(But I'll never read the Daily Mail)
