I'm still mildly ammused at the recent assertion that only links to articles in the Guardian are allowed on here, despite approx 80% of links to media sites being to the Daily Mail.

Nah, what they were trying (and failing) to say was Guardian and Indy links didn't get pulled apart like the Wail links.

I dunno, there is plenty to pull up in some of the Guardian stuff, it does however take brains to do it, rules out a number of those doing the whinging.
