Starbucks and The Guardian

I see that Starbucks have binned The Times and are now selling The Guardian and Observer as their newspaper of choice.

It’s a shrewd move by Starbucks. With lefty liberals condemning them for monopolising the high street and exploiting third world coffee growers, what better way is there for Starbucks to say they are on the side of social and global conscience?

I wonder how many Guardian journalists like Polly Toynbee and George Monbiot now pick up the fruits of their labour the following morning from Seattle’s favourite coffee shop?

The Guardian will be contracting out the company canteen next!
