We’re not talking about subtle suggestions of tyranny sometime down the line.

There’s no point in trying to train readers to pick up the hints behind the headlines, because they’re not hints anymore. The Guardian is what it is, a dinosaur of legacy media, a voice of the Deep State, a nest of Starbucks-swilling hypocrisy…and suddenly a cultural non-entity. I tried to keep TWitG going, but the truth is it was no longer relevant. …And then, just a few weeks later the world changed forever. A weekly feature that rounded up everything terrible in the Guardian from the previous 7 days, and tried to teach people how to read between the lines of media speak.Īfter talking about it to anyone who would listen for ten months, I finally got around to doing the first edition on February 23rd 2020. I had it at the back of my head for almost a year.
