I found that fascinating. I can't imagine any right-wing woman being secretly addicted to the Guardian. Maybe it's because the Mail has lots of girlie stuff in it. <br /><br />I'm afraid my tolerance of left-wing publications was exhausted after spending two decades at the BBC. I'm not sure I could bring myself to actually hold a copy of the Guardian in my hands, let alone read it! (Mind you, I feel much the same about New Media Age after having to read that every week for years on end.) So I commend your friend's broad-mindedness.

I've known lots of leftists, and many of them are splendidly reasonable people, perfectly able to accept that not everyone who disagrees with them is inherently evil. But the Guardian Comment section seems to be entirely populated by the other kind.

A rather pleasing balance I feel.Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191599030795096843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-67090054170335399332015-07-18T19:46:25.090+01:002015-07-18T19:46:25.090+01:00Gaby Hinsliff sounds as if she has a real hankerin...Gaby Hinsliff sounds as if she has a real hankering for thought crime and prison camps, doesn't she?<br /><br />Scratch a Leftist and so often you will find the true spirit of the Third Reich.GCoopernoreply@blogger.com
