From what I knew, the paper is only kept afloat by its owners as a tax dodge. Edit: some links to reports on The Guardians tax avoidance The Guardian’s rank hypocrisy on tax avoidance http://autonomousmind.wordpress.com/2011/02/19/the-guardians-rank-hypocrisy-on-tax-avoidance/ Has the Guardian exploited tax loopholes to save millions? http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/05/16/has-the-guardian-exploited-tax-loopholes-to-save-millions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accusing then of tax evasions is libelous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guardian does not have a circulation that can sustain it. Its kept going buy a group of people who have a political agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true then IMO that says more about the uk readership than the paper. Then again it's articles do tend to use long words and reach beyond a sentence. BTW..all papers have agendas.
