Arcati, I'm growing increasingly bored with the dead-tree press. Why in 2009 is the industry still run by deluded white toffs? The worst offender is the Grauniad which also employs token "ethnic" writers who are given picture bylines to prove their non-whiteness and then assigned to write embarrassing and condescending drivel about The Black Woman's View and The Muslim Perspective. I'm sick of it all Madame. And the Evening Standard is the most hideous of the bunch!

Dear John,
Just don't buy the papers, simple as that. I don't know of any paper that reflects my perspective or interests beyond certain individual writers such as Germaine Greer; and the Indy's Johann Hari is starting to improve with age. The Guardian is now the upscale Hello! of the "qualities" and the Standard has always been the Daily Tatler run in the main by neurotic snobs hankering after a life upgrade.
