run away

The Guardian, which participated in the international outpouring of goodwill and compassion that 9/11 supposedly inspired by publishing Charlotte Raven’s hate-filled diatribe, A bully with a bloody nose is still a bully...

..the Guardian, which also published Seamus Milne’s hate-filled screed They can’t see why they are Hated immediately after the attacks...

..and the Guardian, which, six months after the murder of three thousand Americans offered this humor piece, Six months that changed a year, with these quotes:

'We're all dead Americans now'
T. Blair

'Easy, Saladin'
The Pope

'Yessssss!'
First reaction of many British people who subsequently claimed to be appalled

The same Guardian, which said in June, 2000:

With the kind of breath-taking arrogance that you only get from the leaders of world superpowers and 17-year-old public school boys, America actually attempted to make it illegal for European countries to trade with Cuba; the case against America is even greater than the one against its richest citizen. Like Microsoft the US has a variety of operating systems; in the Balkans they used Nato, but the World Trade Organisation, the World Bank and even the United Nations itself have all been called into play at various times. This will probably be the last European football championship in which a team from Europe is allowed to win

Any fair-minded judge would have to agree that like Microsoft, the US has abused its monopoly of power and must therefore be broken up. It has refused to operate a level playing field and so must be separated into its constituent parts.

And the Guardian which is now saying:

Now, the On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?

They wanted to dismember the US in June, 2000, they cheered the death and dismemberment of thousands of Americans immediately after 9/11, they hissed with joy at the memory of it six months later and now they dream of assassinating our President.

The Guardian staff is beginning to demonstrate the collective subtlety and wit of a B movie psycho. Do they have photos of Bush, Clinton and Gates hanging up in their closets with eyes scratched out, and the words Die! Die! Smeared over them in lipstick? Do they croak this Talking Heads tune:

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho killer, qu'est que c'est
Far better
Run away

..as they lurk the dark streets feverishly dreaming of confronting arrogant Americans with a Kentish-accented ‘you talkin’ to me?’

What the Guardian lacks in imagination, they make up for in bile and whimpering, impotent rage.
