Clapham Omnibus posted:Hm. I thought that said "No to Eli" and was trying to work out if they were trying to say the Tories were anti-semitic, which is about the only sort of racism they can't be accused of. Same here. Thought it was a comment on something to do with Israel, so as I tried ticking off Israeli politicians named Eli in my head realised it was EU and I suppose that kind of looks like Cameron?

It's tying in to the recent news story about horse and pig being found in supermarket beef burgers, and some lingering conceptions of the EU trying to interfere with the Great British Sausage. e: possibly also the politics of compromise being likened to ground meat to boot.

goatface posted:Blockbuster (surprised they still existed) and Jessops went down this week too. It's always amusing when free market types complain about businesses failing due to an inability to compete. Gutting unions and offshoring jobs is all well and good, but when corporations start folding, someone needs to step in and do something.

Also forgot to add to the post its a parody of this Salvador Dali painting. Titled Disappearing Bust of Voltaire (1941). Its an amazing parody, as when timg'd you see the face of Cameron in the parody. The one done a year before (1940) was called Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire. quote:Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire (1940) is a painting by Spanish Surrealist Salvador Dalí. The painting depicts a slave market, while a woman at a booth watches some people. A variety of people seem to make up the face of Voltaire, while the face seems to be positioned on an object to form a bust. __________ Namtab posted:OP I'm detecting a little bit of bias in your newspaper naming strategy. No strategy, if you want to know the reasons behide them. Guardian posted:The paper's nickname The Grauniad originated with the satirical magazine Private Eye. This anagram played on The Guardian's reputation for frequent typographical errors, such as misspelling its own name as The Gaurdian. The domain grauniad.co.uk is registered to the paper and redirects to their website. Telegraph posted:The personal links between the paper's editors and the leadership of the Conservative Party, along with the paper's influence over Conservative activists, have resulted in the paper commonly being referred to, especially in Private Eye, as the Torygraph. Independent posted:Nicknamed the Indy, it was launched in 1986 and is one of the youngest UK national daily newspapers. Daily Mail posted:Lord Rothermere was a friend of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, and directed the Mail's editorial stance towards them in the 1930s. Rothermere's 1933 leader "Youth Triumphant" praised the new Nazi regime's accomplishments, and was subsequently used as propaganda by them. In it, Rothermere predicted that "The minor misdeeds of individual Nazis would be submerged by the immense benefits the new regime is already bestowing upon Germany". Journalist John Simpson, in a book on journalism, suggested that Rothermere was referring to the violence against Jews and Communists rather than the detention of political prisoners. Daily Express posted:The Daily Express has a reputation for consistently printing conspiracy theories about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales as front page news, earning it the nickname, the Daily Ex-Princess; this has been satirised in Private Eye, the newspaper being labelled the Diana Express or the Di'ly Express, and has been attributed to Desmond's close friendship with regular Eye target Mohamed Fayed. Telegraph is well known #1 Tory/Conservative supporter, Guardian do a poo poo ton of typos, Daily Mail supported Hitler & Nazis and are pretty far right newspaper, Daily Express is pretty much Daily Mail but more tabloidy with added Diana, Independent is generally too young to have a funny nickname.

The new political theories based around the Grundrisse, i.e Althusser's idea of an epistemological break in Marx's writings and the development of Structuralist Marxism, were never that popular in England and I doubt they would have found their way into The Guardian.

Although I have to say that I like your explanation more. It was never just about copy editing. For a long time the Guardian was the only daily newspaper published outside London. Because they wanted their paper to be on the news stands in the South at the same time as all of the others they had to release it for printing a little bit earlier than the other major dailies. Hence the tendency for the occasional fuckup. Sometimes an error which appeared in the Southern edition was fixed by the time they were printing papers for the North.
