From a correspondent (including the suggested editorial comment):

“Of all the guilty men and women in the dismal reign of Boris Johnson, the British right-wing press bears heavy responsibility for what the country has become. From the self-lacerating Brexit referendum to the elevation of a man they knew to be unfit, they set the pace, at the behest of extreme Brexiteer press barons – Murdoch–Rothermere–Barclay foghorns still dominate the political landscape. In this sleazy Johnson era, so often the Guardian [and East Devon’s Owl – ed.] has been foremost among those puncturing this mendacity.”
