I was genuinely outraged by something in the Evening Standard today

ashstreath85 [Edit] [Delete] 21:38, 10 June '10

and I'm not the 'writing-in' kind of guy,I leave that to my Granddad but I was tempted to email

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23843532-pm-must-counter-this-us-jingoism-that-threatens-our-pensions.do

The last para:
BP has not called itself British Petroleum for more than 10 years. It's not the only one to not use its full name. Barack Hussein Obama is another.

WTF is he getting at? Its such a stupid thing to write, and so spineless. Like farting in a lift and then running out before the doors shut. What a cunt.

The Evening Standard has turned into such a virulently right-wing pile of shit, which sits oddly with its primary function as something to look at after a hard days work.

I never thought I'd say this, but I miss London Lite and The London Paper. They didn't things such as 'articles' and 'opinions', just pictures of people like Ledley King looking drunk in front of a nightclub. That's what I want on my journey home. You don't know what you've got til its gone
