Tax dodging? Laying off staff? Populist dumbing-down? Looks like even the lefty Guardian's not immune to the market!

Sorry, late to the party, but I have some very vague connections to Sarah Akwisombe, is she a scammer??
ETA just found the Tattle threads, which are eye opening

Guardian is the home of the hypocrite a lot of time ( full of virtue signallers).
Their news reporting is okay. Their opinion pieces vary, but are at best "I see what you mean, but...". Their lifestyle pages are best avoided.
The love island threads are a wonderfully entertaining time when the series is on! Better than the show itself.
Some of the biggest scammers are/were guardian columnists
Yes, it was a while ago now but the Dean Burnett / Johann Hari mess opened my eyes to how the Guardian operates. This Twitter thread is revealing:
This is the most telling tweet on that thread. You're institutionally protected if you go to the right school (in this case, Cambridge).
And it was all well after Johann Hari had been outed for a gross case of plagiarism AND been found out for undertaking a smear campaign under a fake name on Wikipedia.
Not for a second saying other papers aren’t up to their eyeballs in cronyism / chumocracy (eg India Knight and Giles Coren at The Times) but I think people either presume or like to think The Guardian is better than that - and it does seem to like to project that image.

As I've said before, the aristocracy in the UK never really went away. It just became the media / celebrities instead of actual aristocracy. Although some of those became celebrities.
Of course this is also the case in the US. Which supposedly doesn't have an aristocracy. Ask the Rossevelt, Kennedy, Clinton and Bush families about that one.

Their treatment of BAME back office staff is disgusting and I hope they go bankrupt from all the payouts they have to keep dishing out, actual pieces of tit. Can’t clarify beyond that but it’s hard to believe such treatment can be accidental.
See also the way The Guardian sacked a working class disabled journalist (Dawn Foster) for having the temerity to criticise Tom Watson.
It's just as trashy as all the others.

I haven't read the entire thread, sorry!
Most Tattlers I've interacted with have reasonable opinions with good intentions (see Lauren Goodger's recent parenting mishap, for example).
Tattle's reputation seems to precede it online - and people just assume that it's full of hatred. Another website I'm very active on has a Discussion forum and I was told "Tattle is vile" - but I got the impression they were parroting what they'd read, rather than what they'd experienced. If people took the time to READ, they'd discover most members call out hypocrisy, stupidity, lies, greed (eg, all the "Beggy Mitchell"s!).
YES, you do get people who post in a very angry and almost unhinged manner (thinking of one or two members) but that's the exception rather than the rule.
Tattlers tend to be sharp-witted - I've had many LOL moments. What Tattle does is prick a pin in pompous egos and holds a mirror up to their bad, deceitful, or plain unlawful behaviour (thinking particularly of Katie Price).
I think Tattle was originally based around influencers and bloggers, but that's a world I'm happy to avoid!

And are better for typos and grammar as well. I am always finding errors in online newspaper articles
Ooooh Marina Kim is "rattled by tattle" this morning 
She's on a bit of a tirade on twitter about being banned off here when she apparently signed up to rebuff some of the things said about her
Yeah OK Marina, and the anger in your tweets suggests tattlers have got close to the truth

From the Guardian article comes another article.....

Imagine making a news story from another website that's already said the story. I just wish any of these so called journalists had the bollox to sign up here and join this thread instead of spouting so much rubbish all the time. They never specifically mention this thread, but we all know they will be aware of it. We'd have a lot more respect if they joined the discussion here, asked us questions and wrote a balance article every once in a while. We say things on here that would be deleted by an influencer if left on their Instagram photos. Not because it's trolling but because they want 100% positive responses to make their brand look perfect.
They’re Comparing Browsing This Gossip Website To “Dipping A Foot...
Browsing the vitriol in the various chats and forums in categories like Families, Gurus, Instagrammers, Bloggers, Influencers, and Celebs has been described as "dipping a foot into an acid bath".

You'd think she'd appreciate the name being used if she's so broke ffs. Some influencer she is!
Oh dear lord, hypocrisy at its finest.I'm so confused, the author of the piece used the term 'glowed down' as an example of the VILE ABUSE people receive on here.

I think Sirin is a hypocrite. I started following her on Twitter after her Guardian piece exposing Noel Clarke for being a sexual assaulter came out. It was a really good piece full of testimony from his victims. Then last month after the BBC article on how some trans women are pressurisiing lesbian women for sex came out, she liked a load of tweets criticising the article.I'm so confused, the author of the piece used the term 'glowed down' as an example of the VILE ABUSE people receive on here.

So #believewomen, but not when it’s lesbians being targeted by trans women?
I mean, there were huge problems with that article, to the point that the BBC had to go in and edit it to remove one of the interviewees' contributions post-publication. As I'm sure you're aware
