In fact I've noticed that these days, unless the subject is Trump or Boris, the top BTL comments are often critical of the piece. <br /><br />I rarely read Guardian opinion pieces these days, the strapline is enough - I go straight BTL to take the Guardianista temperature - they seem to be getting more critical/woke/based these days.

As sure as shit he knew MM warming was a crock, he just couldn't bring himself to admit it publicly, for him personally it was too much of a climb down. his two mates at 'idealclimate' Schmidt and Romm have also gone very quiet in recent years, I think the lovers fell out over summat - about pure unadulterated contrarian science, consensus being the redoubt of charlatans and telling the truth probably.<br /><br />I even saluted him once, for all his faults Mr Monbiot is guided still by rationale, just for that he is one of the most readable contributors at the gruan but in saying that, it ain't saying much.Ravenscar.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-39548865644777247902017-09-20T16:11:08.060+01:002017-09-20T16:11:08.060+01:00I too read George on the stopped clock principal -...I too read George on the stopped clock principal - once a year or so he's right. Actually, he already scored back in March with a piece on the misuse of Big Data by the central State, temporarily forgetting that, er, he likes the central State.<br /><br />As you say, his guileless honesty keeps me reading, however contorted his opinions.
