Guardian journalists are vile.

May be missing something GM but how is this linked with The Guardian or "the left"?

He worked or works for Guardian.

Wow! Yes....that Guardian journalist is vile.. .

What a horrible way to behave. However, "Guardian journalist" suggests that he's a regular or main writer for them. He's apparently a freelancer who wrote just three pieces for The Guardian over the space of five months, one in November 2017, one in December 2017 and one in April 2018. Nothing before or since.

He has written much more for the Mirror but, again, nothing since April 2018.

Judging from the titles of the articles, he's not exactly high-brow, e.g.:

How to make cheese from your armpit sweat

Funnily enough, here's another of his from the Mirror:

How to deal with online trolls

He does look like a particularly talentless waste of space. I don't think this is anything to do with "left" or "right" though.

It is to do with him being a small minded, nasty little man seeking attention. I am sure we can locate some examples of right wing posts if we looked for them (!) that are equally vile.

I think the ever quickening shallowing out of our culture (and loss of empathy) is one of the main concerns in the world today - or should be.

I would say Left. His choice of words suggests hard Left to me.

He'd hardly say this about Gove if he was on the Right. He'd just disagree quietly.

And as he is a freelancer, choosing the Grauniad and the Mirror says something about his politics.

Jo, The Mirror aren't much better either.

Freelancer is just an excuse for journalist to act 'cuntish' newspapers love them because they say he's not not on our time etc. My friend successful sued The Guardian but was settled out of court.

I love how Andrew Pierce normally wins an argument with Kevin McGuire (The Mirror) he knows he has lost because he plays with a pen.


On a serious note.

Both are actually nice blokes and have delightful sense of humour - off and on camera. Andrew and Kevin very are generous tippers to bar and waitress staff. Andrew can go on about his cat for hours.
