    I have a long commute every day and I have been trying various things to relieve the boredom, including using my phone to surf the web (but the signal keeps disappearing), reading a book etc. I think reading a decent newspaper is the key, but which one? I tried the Times, but its a bit to right wing.

    Any suggestions?

        I have read it, excellent book, excellent language. Better than the current crop of bloated tulip.

                Well, I certainly do. It gives me great ammunition against the sandle-wearing, bleeding-heart, wouldn't it be nice if everyone was nice, tree-hugging, hippy, wishy-washy liberals. Although I need help with the longer words, obviously.

                Did you read the article, and then the opinion piece by Jon Cruddas? Seems to me that the article is warning of a serious danger from the "racist thug". Who, while violently anti-islamic, does not appear to be racist in the sense of being anti-immigration, anti-semitic, send 'em all back to where they came from of the like of the usual BNP.

                    You should read a rag that holds the opposite philosophy in order to exercise and stretch your noggin. If you read the guardian, it will only reinforce your already entrenched world view. If you are a left wing, tree hugging, lentil muncher, a beeding heart namby pamby wishy washy airy fairy hand wringing fckwit, you should read the daily mail. Its called balance, ying and yang.
                    Aargh! Not the Daily Heil!

                    I'm a left wing, tree hugging, lentil muncher, a beeding heart namby pamby wishy washy airy fairy hand wringing fckwit. Can I get away with reading the Telegraph? A damn fine bourgeois running dog Tory rag IMHO.

                      I think I can quote from memory: all the examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine readable form.

                      Testing? Testing? What author does that now, surely just pontificating is enough?
