The Guardian. A bit like the Daily Mail, except the complete opposite in every way.

"In every way..."

As in being reputable?

Like The Beeb?

Well, the Grauniad is very biased, of course. I'm not sure I'd call it reputable. It's the traditional home of over-educated people who are a little pink. The Daily Mail, not so much.

Look, living things eat other living things. Works as designed.

I suspect there may have been a hint of irony associated with the article, which of course is something else that distinguishes the Guardian from it's more widely read competitor.

The average Daily Mail reader uses the word 'irony' primarily because he or she is unaware of the word 'ferrous'.

I know, I know, I'm a hopeless snob.
