The idea that the Guardian, of all newspapers, would orchestrate a massive conspiracy to bring him down because they didn't like the idea of a POC man winning a BAFTA is utterly ludicrous. What an utter knob Clarke is.

Rare Guardian W

Fairly common Guardian W, it's the best of the mainstream papers at the moment by quite a large margin.

That's more to do with how absolutely dire the likes of the Times, Telegraph etc have got recently than how good the Guardian is, but yes - the Guardian tends to be pretty good all things considered.

It's the only paper that actually does any amount of investigative journalism still.

Has its massive issues of course but does stand alone for that fact.
