Guardian Readers

[Kubicki's right boot]

I'm amazed people still respond to the attention seeking prick.

Solidarity brethren.

Wife had the fish. Grey Mullet with Urud Dhal, plus the truffled polenta chips

You can't get much more Guardian reader than truffled polenta chips.

This is very true , total misappropriation of proletarian staples

My point was that you can read something without necessarily subscribing to what's being implied in the text.

Wish you told me that before I went on pure Football

Sorry don't take this personally because I'm sure you and Mrs Merrin are lovely people, but that's fish for twats that is.

Well lah dee dah

Are you demanding ownership of the means of production? If not, why not?

Because I believe in a mixed economy - some things like healthcare are best provided by the state, some things are best provided by private companies operating in free markets, and some things are best provided by private companies operating in regulated markets.

I also believe that governments should, and can set objectives such as reducted inequality and full employment and intervene in how the economy is performing to achive them

Does that make me a socialist? I'm not sure anymore

Tasty though. Really great restaurant

He's good isn't he, Ottolenghi? Surprised he doesn't get mentioned in the best chef threads more often.

His recipes are really good, and Nopi was first class - the quality of the cooking and the ingredients was excellent.

Do you have his cookbook?

Just about but I fear you are circling the bourgeois plug hole

She is lovely. I am a monster. Is it the choice of fish or the choice of accompaniements you object to.

Ive not read the Guardian since Niall Quinn stopped writing his column and Jess Carter Morley advocated wearing socks under sandals or The Independent since they featured a page of Chicago restaurant reviews. Does this make me as thick as a castle wall?.

I can recommend the book. Not sure about the Burqa, unless your house is really drafty in which case it is probably toasty warm

No, just fortuitous.

No way. I love urud dhal. You just have to cook it for long enough.

It also had a smear of garlicky aubergine puree on the side. Does that make it better or worse??

Only thing I would have had out of that lot would have been the Urid dhal , garlic and Aubergine

Brave choice of hairstyle there, especially with the risk of getting food stuck in it

 

[Frijj]

all of which are bougeois concerns.


that's not Marx.

The bourgeoise would be concerned with keeping such things quiet though, especially the surveillance of citizens and a free press. A free press can be very damaging to any government. By pursuing such leads as the Snowden case, The Guardian are actively taking on the bourgeoise, in a way that the proletariat can't. I think it was Antonio Gramsci who advocated that a member of the proletarian intellectuals take up the mantle of championing the proletarian cause.

Whether The Guardian are actively pursuing such stories for a proletarian cause or just for the sake of journalism, I don't know. I don't believe they're campaigning for the proletariat, but by running such stories, their ethos is incompatible with bourgeois thought, IMO

Mullet: bourgeoisie on the front, proletariat on the back.

This thread got loads better when we introduced food to it. Might do it more often
