As a Guardian subscriber I get bombarded with requests for financial support from the moral high ground that GMG claims. They use to promote these with the strapline “not for sale”. It appears that now the Observer is very much for sale to a most inappropriate owner. Support the journalists’ strike!

Why are we striking?
Our owners says the sale is “necessary”. But the Observer is a successful part of the Guardian family

The deal has been done in secret and without considering other bids

Our owners have a £1.3bn fund & a duty to protect liberal journalism - why not invest?

Today Guardian and Observer journalists are on strike. Why?
GMG insists the Guardian is no one’s pocket and is not beholden to billionaires… but wants to offload the Observer onto Tortoise Media, with opaque funders and a business plan experts say does not add up.

And my first learning is to proofread your post! It appears there’s no edit function. Sorry for the construction error!

As we’re apparently a bunch of snowflakes, I thought my grandson’s morning’s work this may be appropriate for my first post on here 😁
