I am more shocked at the 1.8m reactionaries that read the evil Melanie Phillips and her ilk. Very apt that the percentage up/down for it is -6.66

 

[MK Shrimper]

How about the FT. Obviously the city boys have moved to something more on their level, like The Beano. :dim:

I have found publications stuffed under my windscreen wipers with higher circulations than The Guardian.

For the most part it is a very good paper let down by a few over privileged writers who still don't understand that they sit firmly within the 1% they claim to despise.

Polly Toynbee?

Out of interest have you ever been inside an investment bank and seen what the staff read?

Polly Toynbee?

Who somehow got into Oxford with fewer A levels than Prince Harry.

No but I see what a state they've left the country in.

I know one of my brothers (not Shrimpero but the other one)who is an investment banker only reads the FT (and his bank statements presumably).:smiles:

It's a reasonable bet that the Guardian is picking up a lot of former Independent readers. otherwise the fall in its circulation would be far worse.

The Guardian web edition is on the other hand the most read of all, I believe. Their circulation is lower because they have everything open access and so people who want to read it don't have to buy it. At least it has some integrity, be fair!

All print media is dying. I give it 10 - 15 years before there's no print editions of any newspapers or magazines and everything is beamed directly into our brains.

They have plenty of puff pieces (notably about Apple and iProducts) to increase clickthroughs and for a paper so anti big business and invasion of privacy they seem to know plenty about your browsing habits judging by the targetted adverts that are displayed.

Ha!You use Amazon and Easy Jet too.:winking:

How much of that, though, is from innocent football supporters on fans forums mistakenly clicking on links?

Would the City be in better shape if they all read Train Sets weekly?

£3m fine for 7 deaths.

Barclays were fined £290m for something in which nobody died.

Of course I can't condone it but how is that anything to do with gross financial mismanagement which has probably destroyed many more lives?

Mismanagement in rail industries equals people dead.

Mismanagement in financial industries equals people hard up.

Neither a good situation, but I know what one I find worse.

You tar all bankers with the same brush. Should all involved in the rail industry be tarred with the same brush as well?

Those that can do those that can not teach and those that are left work on the railway.

And as we used to say at Teacher Training College:- "Those who can't teach,teach teachers." :smiles:
