  I rather like the Telegraph’s travel pages, so once took up an offer. Didn’t carry on.

  Keep getting offered deals to come back, the latest being £1 for three months.

  Maybe one should swap temporary subscriptions between partners, rather than taking up the Amex offer?

  Anyone suggest – apart from FT – better holiday travel pages?

  It surprises me just how many leftie remoaner torybashers we have on hfp. Certainly not representative of the population. As a young Scotsman I’m very used to a vocal minority!

  Anyway, I prefer to read a physical copy and usually pick one up for free in Waitrose. Incidentally, the Telegraph always sells out before any other paper in my local (Scottish) Waitrose so there is clearly high demand for it.
  The Sunday edition also has plenty of good, non-political supplements (travel, food, motoring, business, etc).

  My only issue with the paper is its physical size. It’s fine for reading at home but too large for travelling. When travelling I prefer to read the Spectator.

    They don’t stock as many copies as other papers, which is why it goes so quickly.
    I’d also say that it is entirely reflective of the population. Why not tot up the votes of right wing and left wing parties at the last election to see that the UK is, unlike it’s parliament, a generally left of centre country.

    It surprises me that you think a newspaper that writes 1000 words on the shortage of food in our supermarkets without mentioning the B word is a vaguely credible newspaper!

    “leftie remoaner torybashers” – Amazing how your news sources have managed to distort your analysis of political view points. Pre referendum the supporters of Brexit came from both the left and right extremes. Centrists were pretty much universally remain. Convincing you that anything other than hard right wing is ‘leftie’ is a stunning manipulation by some of the media, when in fact, you probably have more in common with the average socialist worker reader than neoliberal small ‘c’ Conservatives.

    @ Dave, genuinely applaud that you hold deliberate views. Wish more did.

    But by the time you become a mature Scotsman, I hope that you will recognise (and champion) the criticism of poor stewardship, regardless of political affiliation.

    I voted for my excellent local Conservative MP, but my open criticism of poor governance by the UK PM and some of his chosen cabinet ministers would unjustifiably earn me your “leftie remoaner torybasher” label.

    Blind sectarian support for, or rejection of government policies and their overseers purely on ideological grounds is to fall into the dangerous and destructive trap of “if you are not for us, then you must be against us”.

    This is exactly the kind of comment that gives Telegraph readers their reputation. It is entirely possible to find the Telegraph poorly written, biased and ill informed without actually being a Guardianista. It’s just the inevitable product of having a basic understanding of written English and critical thinking.

    Happy freedom September Dave?

    I wouldn’t bother, they are not listening and never will – you will soon be branded a “bordering on Racist”

  Really think the head for points site should ditch promoting this lame offer. As per a million other comments the journalism is mediocre and If you must then just get it from the library via press reader. Save the fiver and put it towards your holiday.

    I think you’re just displaying cheapness and narrow mindness 🙂 They still have over 300,000 people paying cash for it, and PressReader is simply not suitable for using on the go if you want to refresh top stories quickly.

    It’s funny how some people can be so intolerant of other people who like different things or have different values from them.

    This site sometimes runs articles about hotels that I have no desire to visit. When that happens, I simply read a different article. It has never occurred to me to post comments that slander the character of people who stay or work in those hotels.

    Is it really so difficult to be pleasant to each other?

    • A says:

      This offer or some variant gets wheeled out so frequently I think Rob basically confirmed he’s just trolling us…
      Will definitely prep popcorn for the sequel to this offer.
      I’m still loling at the potential readers spoofing being a student to nick a few quid of a newspaper subscription from a tip they read on a travel related site. Stay classy everyone.

      Why do you think Lefties would be tolerant and liberal minded? Oh wait a min…………

      Those days are long gone! You do as they say and think as they say you should think

      If not, you can get cancelled, just like this character is trying to cancel this article!

  New York Times UK rate using .ac.uk or edu address is £2 monthly, cancel anytime. Worth it for the archives alone.

  I wish Amex had a way you could tell them to never show offers from a given retailer again. No more Sweaty Betty and all the other junk that has to be scrolled through just to see if there’s one worthwhile new offer.

    I’ve noticed saving is just 1 click now. Welcome improvement.

    I suspect they don’t want you to hide as that’s part of the appeal (marketing)
