I'm sure this isn't typical of our own Mr the Ba's home town.

You gotta love British journalism.

One sentence per paragraph is de rigueur, apparently.

Also, watch a work of art like, being, like, "Besides being the worst film I have ever seen, three women were getting arrested and put in a police van when we arrived, and eveyone was forgetting to put inverted commas at the end of the sentence".

“One woman was in handcuffs and another two women were in tears", is even pricelesser.

A fucking mazing.

My next thesis title maybe. "Illiterate journalists - a successful neoliberal policy outcome"

I think these tabloids are older than neoliberalism.

Tarue. Being tabloids, they're probably rooted in the type of mass produced pamphlet hack journalism that was contemporaneous with the post-Enlightenment period that game birth to Liberalism though.

I'm sure that is fairly typical of the city of my birth. The question the "journalist" should have been asking was what a man was doing at that film? Doesn't he have internet access?
Get it up ye.
