Nick Walker /
@nickw84: It just looks so non-urgent for a newspaper and has for ages. Seems like mismanagement to me [image] @crankynotions: It's hard to believe, but the Standard was once a decent paper with excellent coverage of the arts and entertainment. The acerbic Brian Sewell featured there to his very end. My summers were often planned around the culture section. Osborne was no steward, and it got even worse.

Amar Singh /
