Guardian slammed after ‘over 70 journalists given notice on contracts’

Torn between pleasure at the thought of a bunch of sanctimonious journalists that generally irritate me losing their contracts and concern that despite them being irritating and sanctimonious; The Guardian is one of the few left leaning Newspapers out there so I’d rather they didn’t vanish entirely.

“The Standard reached out to GMG who declined to comment. But it is understood no staff are to lose their jobs but new contracts to replace existing ones are legally required after the sale of the Observer to Tortoise.”

So basically staff who used to write for the Observer but not employees so not entitled to TUPE have their contracts cancelled with the understanding they will be offered contracts by Tortoise. Hardly a news story.

Maybe they should cut the people who write awful clickbait articles, like Dylan B. Jones…

[“The rise of Britishcore: 100 experiences that define and unite modern Britons”](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/sep/18/the-rise-of-britishcore-100-experiences-that-define-and-unite-modern-britons) is one of the worst things I’ve ever read. This tripe is not award-winning British journalism, it’s a list of 100 experiences written by an out-of-touch toff who has likely never gone further out of London than Soho in the past two decades.

The Guardian is a piece of shit, much like the rest of the British self-appointed “quality” press.

It claims to be right on and politically left, yet it appears to cater exclusively to the metropolitan liberal elite / posh, middle class twats who love the smell of their own farts.

To be fair though, I pretty much stopped following the news regularly. Big stories, I follow; but mindlessly reading the paper every day just because is depressing af.

I’ve been waiting so long for the Guardian to die, the Observer is how it begins.

For the record, it’s the only legacy media I read, and I’m in no manner a right leaning person, I’ve just watched the tone creep in the wrong direction for 15 years, seen the bias grow, the pandering increase.

Plus I find the language they use to encourage subscriptions patronising and infantilising.

Poor old Carole Catwoman is raging the luvvie rag has thrown thrown them all under a bus….lol!

The left eating itself as always.

Fingers crossed Tim Dowling & his tortoise never get a look in on there any more, NOBODY CARES

Save the good ones, and nobody wants to lose their jobs before Christmas but Christ almighty there’s some “filler” on there

Bit late to start complaining about your contract at the end of it. If it’s so rubbish why’d you sign it in the first place?

Hopefully one of them is 40-something student socialist Owen Jones.
