Finally The Guardian’s Berliner format is launched.
You can almost hear all The Torygraph readers cracking open a bottle of champagne to celebrate their exclusive status as Britain’s only remaining national broadsheet. The mzee who looks at me in shock when I pick a paper from the same pile as he does only for him to realise, traumatised, that he picked up The Guardian will never make that mistake again. (Unless of course he is a closet lentil-eating, sandal-wearing, beard-growing, tree-hugging, atheist, pacifist, neo- Marxist-Leninist, that all Guardian readers are!)
Edit 1:
It has been pointed out to me via email that I am wrong. The Torygraph is not the only national broadsheet newspaper left in Britain after The Guardian re-launch. The FT is national and is broadsheet. The email also demanded a front page apology for my “elementary error”. Well here you go sonny: Mea culpa, mea culpa and all that. I am just surprised that FT loyalists read this blog, ![]()
