Uninstalled after listening to Gary's economics. Interpretation of uk govt bonds failing to be attractive is blamed on Andy Burnam and not Iran war. All govt bond have and fallen together, due to Iran war, so Guardian is deliberately prejudice. It is not the reasonable voice of the people, but the very rich.

Just be careful that you don't accidentally subscribe to two Guardian apps as I did, unknowingly paying an annual plus a monthly subscription. Not a lot of laughs in The Guardian . . .
