Comments on: The Max Gogarty Story http://www.le-flaneur.com/2008/02/16/the-max-gogarty-story/ Seeking out the Beautiful and the Monstrous...

Everything they write, regarding outside of this area is sneering and patronising. I think I was not the only one to feel this way. There's a quote, that I have since added to my blog, that suggests people are tired of this whole Muswell-Hill-centric attitude to everything. The Guardian's whole word is its luvvy media friends. Max got abuse but not nearly as much as the travel editor. It's a reflection of how stale and small minded the Guardian has become that it thought the whole debacle was a good idea. Time for a shake up there - less yoof orientated crap (no skins, no big brother), time for them to discover life outside of North London and time for them to ditch the New Labour smugness and get interested in real issues again. Time for grit, anger and a wider perspective and time to lose this awful awful small minded crap.
