What in heaven’s name has happened to The Observer? This was once a quality Sunday newspaper. But today it carries what at first glance seems to be a serious news story about forensic analysis. However, Ben Goldacre points out the facts. The journalists in question, Mark Townsend and Ned Temko should hang their heads in shame. Disgraceful, truly disgraceful.

Also in the Independent (on Sunday) so maybe they have both copied it from some common handout. Doesn’t stop them checking their facts first though!

Yes Geoff. My parents got The Observer every Sunday when I was growing up, and a good slightly different paper it was too. Now? It seems to be going the way of all else and scraping around the bottom of the toaster tray. They just did the same with the bookclub I belong(ed!) to for years – the only one worth the trouble. A new editor has come and turned it into some tabloid offering without a single book I desire. When I ‘phoned to cancel my membership they were surprised to find my reason was that the Q in the title of the club had stood for quality and now no longer did. Q seems to be vanishing all over.

Hi Geoff,
I was just surfing around spaces and fell into here, I don’t like to leave without at least saying hi I, oh and the photographs below are brilliant.
