Note - it's a "comment" in the newspaper, rather than an editorial or
some such. My posting it didn't have a Guardian bashing agenda, nor
should it be used for one (IMHO).


Quite right - it is a trifle harsh on the Guardian to object to the
entire newspaper on the basis of one commentator on their comment
website. The point of CiF is that you get all sorts of different
opinions; Thatcherite throatslashers, neocon Israeli apologists, PC
do-gooders, frothing feminists, eco-zealots... The great benefit of all
this is that it keeps a lot of morons happily flaming each other and off
the streets.

I comment there quite a lot, of course.
