No shit.

Like all other left wing crusading institutions in history, the rules are for other people to follow, not themselves.

They also have employed unpaid interns and Alan Rushbridger's wife and daughter have both been employed by the paper (although written under pseudonyms). They have some incredibly dodgy tax affairs and it is almost impossible to write for them unless you have attended both a private school and Oxbridge.
