Will the Guardian now have to cancel ITSELF in row over slavery links sparked by planned podcast?

Nothing like tying yourselves in knots:-)

No-one should have to apologise for the slave trade. It's history. That was the way of the world, as ghastly as it was. It's just something else for people to add to their list of victimhood. Other companies, still operating today, had their beginnings in the slave trade. One is a nationally known company. You will have seen it's vehicles on every road in this country.

It's history. And that's where it belongs. Leave it.

I've always said the 'right on' social warriors end up climbing up their own bottoms - and that's exactly what's happening.

Two sides to every story, we've had the boggle-eyed loon one from the Mail and YMB and now await The Guardian version.

Waiting for The Guardian one is akin to marking your own homework.

I'm eagerly waiting for the people who committed the criminal damage to the Colston stature to pitch-up outside The Guardian offices.

Mixing 17th century apples with 20th century oranges is not only a bad idea, it's stupid.

The Guardian is usually the first to demand massive reparations be paid by governments historically linked to slavery.I wonder if the impoverished Guardian will now practice what it preaches?

Waiting for The Guardian? Goining to be a long wait, but here is the Times take if you dont want the DM:

The Guardian is making a podcast, and hired 3 producers. The Guardian didn’t like their work, and they were paid for their work, and the project was finished off by different journalists.
The 3 producers complained of ‘microaggressions’ and ‘colourism’. And a ‘bullying, passive-aggressive and obstructive management style’.
Clearly the two sides didn’t get on. The Guardian is perfectly entitled to reject their work if it fell short of what they had commissioned.

The 3 producers wanted to ‘to contribute towards shifting discourse away from the kinds of reductive conversations about race and capitalism’. And the Guardian did not.

// The Scott Trust, which owns the newspaper, has launched a review into John Edward Taylor’s slavery links despite saying there was no evidence that he owned slaves or was directly involved in the trade. //

I've never eaten lelt, what's it taste like ?

[douglas9401]

A bit like those sour grapes the right are so fond of mentioning, Canary.
