I was struck by the headlines on the front page of the papers today:
Daily Mail: the database state.
Grauniad: Obama's foreign policy vision (like he's already won.)
Telegraph: New laws to support people defending their homes.
Independent: Restaurants are pocketing your tips.
Pardon? I mean, really, apart from a handful of waiters and waitresses, who gives a fuck? How is this even news, let alone front-page news, let alone the lead article?
Are they fucked in the head or what?

Thats the Indy for you. Trying to be so painfully different from the rest that it just comes across as utter pretentious bollocks. Never mind the world economic melt down, ignore the threat of global war between Iran and the US/Israel, lets concentrate on the idea that Pablo the Italian exchange student (working at Pizza Hut) doesn't get the two pound tip you left him. I mean ffs its a worthy issue and you can imagine those islington media types creaming themselves at the idea (wonderful darling, so different, so independent!) The paper has become pastiche of right on thinking.
