Has the Guardian become a parody of itself yet?
The Guardian is different to some other papers. It will and does, publish articles by people with which it strongly disagrees. This is something which it prides itself in, indeed at the top of the article in question there are the words "comment is free", if you click on that it will link you to a whole multitude of other people's personal opinions.
It often also allows those who disagree with a particular article 'the right of reply' by later publishing an article with an opposing point of view.
I appreciate that readers of other newspapers might find this whole concept rather strange, but that's how it works in the Guardian.
Personally I very rarely read opinion articles as I generally find the endless waffling rather tiresome and tedious - although I always scan the letters which I often find can be the source of some right little gems. I only buy the Guardian because I know of no other newspaper which is a better source of news and information.
