I’m not interested in stuff he said as a teenager about a conflict that was over, or whatever he said at a Sinn Féin conference, because I’ve never been interested in anything he has to say, he doesn’t seem to have any original thoughts, insights or understanding. There are Guardian writers, like Monbiot, that are highly irritating, but nevertheless write fairly original and well researched articles that are quite informative and better than you’ll find in any of the hard-right papers. Owen isn’t one of them. Agree about Owen. But the good old Grauniad makes a point of being a broad church which is admittedly a lot easier from the centre ground than it ever will be from the totally barking outlying sides of the political spectrum. Talking of which I wonder how the petition to bring back hanging is getting on...? ETA - a thousand pages and we still haven't left the EU.... Edited October 8, 2019 by P.K.
