The begging for cash section at the end of every article is annoying and smacks of desperation. The articles that you want to comment on quite often don't have that option and the ones that do are clo... See more

Is it just me, or has The Guardian completely lost touch with the people it claims to represent? The tone, the bias, the relentless spin… it feels more like a lecture than journalism these days.... See more

Extremely low quality content

Extremely low quality content. It's sad that they have subscribers who pay them and in turn they advertise through Google. Stop giving them money guys. We're in 2023 no need to pay to read some news online it's not a newspaper.

How is a virtually bankrupt paper…

How is a virtually bankrupt paper allowed to write such rubbish -I refer to the blatant attempt to raise awareness and funds for a sea organisation by attempting to write a sensational and untrue story that they had left people to suffer at sea in some perverse, reverse psychology to extort money
How does this paper still exist ..who is funding it .we should be told

Corrupt to its core!

Corrupt to its core!! Far far left news media! Will only report what it wants to show its sheep following. The reviews for this nonce company speak for itself. Karma is a b*tch

The Guardian has brilliant well…

The Guardian has brilliant well discussed articles and is totally reliable. Now in my third year of subscription and it's worth every penny. The Observer on Sunday is so thought provoking and has a wide range of features. Only one downside they never tell you when the payment is due nor is it the account section this is unfair in these hard time. Still worth the money

Buzzards

Nothing but Buzzards flying around looking for scraps.
They feed off what’s popular at the time with the left wing media and then add their on bias opinions to feed their brainwashed followers more garbage.
Does not deliver any factual news, again they pick threw what they want of the story and leaves out the facts! tExtremely one sided opinion biased media.. Misinformation, don't trust them. No fact checking at all. They don’t even deserve a 1 star.

Horrible

Horrible. They talk about Ukrainian war like nothing is happening, giving up the territories etc. Ukrainians are dying every day because they don’t want Russians there, they don’t want Soviet Union, they don’t want 3 starvations that Russians created in 20s century. So many people already died for the freedom of others. Shame on you. So disappointing, so heartless. Don’t even think we will ever give up. I wish I could give you 0 or -5.

I'm a left leaning voter Done with itor at least I…

I'm a left leaning voter or at least I was a few years back but I can not read this paper, the news used to be about informing people, giving them the hard facts so they could make sense of the world but its becoming increasingly evident that the guardian subscribes to certain agendas and will lie to its readers about science fact, both new and historical data to further disseminate information that reinforces said agendas, I'll never buy this paper again or even read it for free online.

Utterly woke obsessed

Utterly woke obsessed, utterly climate change obsessed, incapable of doing any logical thinking, spends money like water, thank god they'll never be in charge of the country.

Screaming endlessly about 2 days of hot weather killing people while neatly ignoring that the super cold winters they want kill tens of thousands more

Also ignore that over the last 800,000 years there have been 6 temperature cycles varying peak to trough by not 1.5C but 11C BEFORE the industrial revolution

Have no clue how a electricity grid would be supplied if we had a prolonged winter blocking high with windmills and solar panels

Seem to think there should be no limits on migration despite 1.2M Brits on housing waiting lists.

Truly the home of the politically clueless

Schmardian

The publication has long since abbrogated itself as offering any kind of bulwark against unearned wealth or privalige. Or even a rational, balanced assessment of anything. Reeks of an irrational patronising rich socialist set with very little in the way of real world experience and only to happy to participate in the online bashing of those less fortunate, while turning a blind eye to actual rapists and murderers. You couldn't make it up if you tried. Your left with the impression it hates Christians and apparently thinks we'd all be better off under some kind of caliphate. Our entire structure of society and the freedoms we enjoy has evolved out of a Christian tradition, (not Islamic) by separating the church from the state.
Oh wait, that's right, their too busy demonising ACTUAL abuse survivors having done didley squat in actually making our society safer. Good for you. Make no mistake they are every bit as irrational as religious extremists.

Pathetic excuse for a newspaper

Pathetic excuse for a newspaper, full of moronic opinionated columnists that talk utter garbage and commenters who think that democracy should be overruled and that being controlled by Germany is a good thing
people want the truth reported not this utter opinionated garbage
