Subject: BS: I've lost my rag!
After more than 25 years, I've asked the newsagent to stop delivering the Guardian. It's not the change of size or design that bothers me, but the paper now has so little news in it that it's not worth taking. I'll miss the crossword and Sue will miss the Sod You Too or whatever they call it, but I'm not shelling out 60p a day just for that.

The tone of the little that's left in the paper has also become noticeably more rightwing since the revamp. I suspect it's been hijacked by media studies types and business consultants.

So henceforth I will have to make do with the radio, and Private Eye once a fortnight..
