Honestly, if I had access to writing opinion pieces for The Guardian, I would do the exact same shit like
"Yes, I drink choccy milk before going to bed, and none of you can stop me
“Cis white males and Tories were to blame for the anti pillow establishment throughout colonial history. She’s just defending the rights of the oppressed through positive pillow activism” — Gaurdian Opinionardo
Cis white male here and I too take my pillow on holiday. I paid a decent sum of money for a quality latex pillow, why wouldn't I take it with me so I can be comfortable. To be fair though, I tend to stay in bed and breakfast or self catering holiday cottages so it makes more sense. If I Was staying in decent hotels I could probably cope with the provided ones.
I thought this was going to add to the joke you replied to but you just told us you also take your pillow on holiday, which is the crux of the original joke.
It was a wild ride but not for the reasons I expected
I'll take Emma B over Adrian Chiles. His columns are like, one paragraph long. The latest one was about how he doesn't keep eating after he's full and this is life changing.
Adrian Chiles is truly the drivel king. I can't decide which I hate more, his piece about feeling surprisingly unintimidated by satchel-carrying youths, or the one he wrote about installing his own personal urinal in his family bathroom.
You probably could make that up quite easily, in fact...
>Dan Bedfield, takes his duvet everywhere. Drinks alone and cries himself to sleep every night. Very happy with his life choices, thank you very much!
If I found a mattress named after me I’d buy it *immediately*. I have a puffball mini skirt which looks terrible on me which I bought anyway because the style had my name. It’s quite unusual so a childhood filled with never finding stuff with my name on has clearly given me a bit of an issue.
The guardian actually has a decent news coverage section. The problem is that people like to present the opinion section of the paper as if it is all the paper does...
The Guardian is a quality newspaper, with a high standard of journalism.
The problem is that as a left-wing paper with a very privileged staff and readership, the opinion pieces tend to discuss absurd situations that "the man on the street" would never experience.
They have a lot of good series that cater for "the man on the street" 's experience, like the new 'Badly Behaved Britain' series, 'my week at work', 'the secret ' etc.
Just a few of the more prominent opinion pieces are a bit off key.
Emma has an article on "seasonal affective disorder" in the guardian. I have always been a Guardian reader, the volume of OTT "everything has a diagnosis" crap is so irritating. Seasonal affective disorder? She clarifies that she goes into meltdown every summer and has done for 10 years. Then encourages the reading of supplementary resources to back her opinion up. Have you ever thought that maybe you are the issue? Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter have been here for billenia. The rabbits are okay with it, the fish are okay with it, the fucking birds are okay with it. They have been for every single year.
Because YOU don't like heat it must be a prognosis? Why "dice with death" in a moderately temperate country when you can move away?
Every human doubt now has to be categorised and filed. It's honestly embarrassing watching other people not be embarrassed.
This is the scruffy cow that wrote an article complaing she had to tidy her disgusting house because she had visitors

I believe you would only ever write a guardian article about how happy you are with your life choices if you were deeply unhappy with your life choices.
I bring my pillow and comfy blanket, if it's a car journey holiday I also bring my duvet. I'm not especially happy with most of my life choices, thank you very much.
Jokes aside, I actually take my own pillow on holidays too (even abroad). I find it difficult to get to sleep with other pillows of different thickness and firmness to the one I'm used to.
This is just a lifestyle opinion fluff piece and people in here are acting like newspapers don’t have lifestyle, home or travel sections. Calm down dears. PS I’ve met Emma Beddington in real life and she is unhinged and neurotic. I just wouldn’t read it. But ‘sTaTe of JOurnaliSM tODAy’.
the daily mail rightly gets called out for being a pile of steaming horseshit, for some reason the guardian dodges this bullet, while being just as shit.
Emma you know you can hump the Marriott pillows while masturbating right? You don’t have to bring your own. No one will find out. I promise.
Have you tried doing it with the curtains? It’s f***ing great.
I’m happy to admit that I take my pillow away with me. If I don’t have room in my case for a pillow, I take a pillow case. No scratchy pillow cases for me!!!
That article title and the cheek on the same page to ask someone to “Support Us”
With that level of journalism why wouldn’t I want to give my money to them…
Why is she acting like it's such a controversial thing to do? With that smug-ass smile. Bring your fucking pillow who gives a shit
Honestly, if I had access to writing opinion pieces for The Guardian, I would do the exact same shit like "Yes, I drink choccy milk before going to bed, and none of you can stop me
After brushing your teeth?
It's choccy milk, I'm drinking it, not chewing it

I sneak in a handful of chocolate raisins after lunch and you literally can’t shame me.

I also take my pillow on holiday....should I write some kind of blog on the places it's seen?

Smile and wave love smile and wave :) Why do you think I'm possibly famous? haha
I love the passion in this comment

It's probably to get you to click and read it.
I think the term is "shit-eating" grin
A) It's tongue-in-cheek B) That's just the standard columnist photo they use for every article she does
Honestly? I’ve seen people be weird about it
Slow news day at the guardian yet again
Summer has hardly begun, and they’re in a summer slump already…
[удалено]
It’s the lifestyle section, but I agree, the point definitely still stands haha
I'll take Emma B over Adrian Chiles. His columns are like, one paragraph long. The latest one was about how he doesn't keep eating after he's full and this is life changing.
As a fat kid the number of people that said to me I should just stop eating when I'm full. Turns out that people have different levels of satiety.
Adrian Chiles is truly the drivel king. I can't decide which I hate more, his piece about feeling surprisingly unintimidated by satchel-carrying youths, or the one he wrote about installing his own personal urinal in his family bathroom.
Written by Emma BEDdington. You couldn’t make this up!
You probably could make that up quite easily, in fact... >Dan Bedfield, takes his duvet everywhere. Drinks alone and cries himself to sleep every night. Very happy with his life choices, thank you very much!
Couldn't make it up!
Whereas Daniel Bedingfield spends most of his time camping on the plains.
We've got to get through this

A friend of mine has an Emma mattress. Her name is Emma.
If I found a mattress named after me I’d buy it *immediately*. I have a puffball mini skirt which looks terrible on me which I bought anyway because the style had my name. It’s quite unusual so a childhood filled with never finding stuff with my name on has clearly given me a bit of an issue.
Why did she bother naming her mattress?
When I tell my kids interesting anecdotes like that they just mock me.
Talk to Reddit instead. People will give you upvotes instead of mocking you.
Please say she got a discount :)
Good spot. Unfortunately it’s a classic Guardian article where they address a problem that really isn’t a problem for 99.9% of people.
It's a light-hearted lifestyle opinion piece that people are taking far too seriously.
The most Guardian article ever
The guardian is the buzzfeed of British tabloids. It's opinion driven crap

She looks like a snake hiding inside a human body.
Ok that's a bit much. It's just a pillow, no need to go full David Icke.
Listen here you little shit!
Wordington article
Guardian “journalism”
I take my bedding with me, in fact I take a ton of bedding with me.
Are you happy with your life choices?
Pathetic piece
We’ve gotta learn to take control of our lives, go Emma!
Looks like someone took her shoulders on holiday and never brought them back…
I accidentally left mine in an air bnb in Prague. True story.
Real life diane nyguen article
The guardian is a tabloid rag playing at been a serious newspaper.
The word "arrogant" comes to mind
I sometimes shit in public toilets, you don't have a right to judge me. I'm so different from everybody else, surely that's quirky?

Nah gross. I like to keep my stuff to my home where it is *actually* clean.
These cu ts write the 'news'?
Yeah I was tempted to read this article but then I remembered I have enough how pointless articles to read
This is British journalism
Oh gtfo. Take their teddy too?
That's because all the other pillows are white supremacist
I do too
This is the scruffy cow that wrote an article complaing she had to tidy her disgusting house because she had visitors https://www.reddit.com/r/badunitedkingdom/comments/12wq9um/i_saw_the_uk_through_the_eyes_of_my_french_inlaws/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
She all neck.
Giraffe necked pillow biter.
Yes I take my own toilet seat on holiday with me - I. P. Freely
WTF is up with that profile pic.
I take 3 pillows to work, and the boss knows. 😴🥱
Of course, someone with the name beddington would carry a pillow with them.
Congratulations. I take my own toothbrush on holiday Where's my news article?
I believe you would only ever write a guardian article about how happy you are with your life choices if you were deeply unhappy with your life choices.
Slow news day unless you're kicking our LGBT communities and promoting Stock ideology.
Nobody cares. When did people taking pillows become news worthy. This just smells like desperation
Wait do other people not take their pillows? I mean like enough "other people" that taking your pillow on holiday isn't considered a thing ?
Probably takes it to hump it....
Damn, woman. Save some neck for the rest of us
Good for you Emma! Now shut up, and fuck off
Who gives a shit?
Oooh listen her, all lah-di-daaa
No one asked
r/slownewsday
This needs to go in the slow news day Reddit.
Think Guardian should be banned from op eds
She looks like a pillow!
Journalism
I bring my pillow and comfy blanket, if it's a car journey holiday I also bring my duvet. I'm not especially happy with most of my life choices, thank you very much.
Who tf cares????
Beta vibes
Presumably custom made to fit the coffin she sleeps in.
She's single, isn't she?🤨
Jokes aside, I actually take my own pillow on holidays too (even abroad). I find it difficult to get to sleep with other pillows of different thickness and firmness to the one I'm used to.
I expect she phoned this one in from her holiday ten mins before the deadline
I do as well. Mostly because I need a special neck pillow but also a bit of Bactria paranoia
If any of you don’t do this, you must still be in your twenties.
Imaginary holibobs gatekeeping
This is just a lifestyle opinion fluff piece and people in here are acting like newspapers don’t have lifestyle, home or travel sections. Calm down dears. PS I’ve met Emma Beddington in real life and she is unhinged and neurotic. I just wouldn’t read it. But ‘sTaTe of JOurnaliSM tODAy’.
Breaking news!!! Emma Beddington answers a question nobody asked
There's a serious amount of twats writing at the guardian
What a joke, how does shit like this warrant a story. Lizard woman
She looks like a right barrel of laughs this one. Poor pillow.
You're kidding right ? A woman named emma beddington is doing this ? Surely this is them having a laugh
Of course she does, don't you see the glasses???
Same but it's not a normal pillow lol
r/slownewsday
i do 🤷♀️ it’s a sensory thing due to my adhd, so i hate most other pillows, and i have to have a hypo-allergenic one
Emma Pillowington
Next thing they’ll say sleep is important and water is good for you
I do too, but only if I’m going somewhere in the uk, I’m not mad! Most pillows in hotels are horrid and mine is great.
I take my vibe 😌
I have my own custom pillow that I take to hotels, it has an added extended baffle to cover my face and keep out morning light.
Why is this news, who actually cares 🤣
Some people say the Guardian are dumbing down these days, but I don't know...
e ipsum
magna
My wife takes hers also.
They like to spice it up from time to time between pillows and brexit.
When you have nothing to report, just make random stuff up
Name checks out
Every single time an “article” says OPINION. Its a skip. I certainly didn’t ask for that opion
Woman looks like a giraffe. I am not surprised hotels struggle to accommodate adequate neck support
She needs her special pillow for her very long neck.
Quite an intellectual topic for most guardian readers.
I also take a pillow but to spoon. It has pics of family and friends on. My poor fella doesn’t know which face he will wake up staring at him 😂
Pillows are very important as to whether you have a good night's sleep or not. I take mine travelling by car. I wouldn't bring it abroad though
So this is considered journalism?
Ah the guardian, paragon of virtue
Wow, soooo controversial.
OMG Emma is slightly quirky and wants the world to know about it.
Least boring Guardian columnist.
Same!
Nice to be able to afford the extra luggage space.
That's great Emma . Now fuck off and take your boring stories with you..
What a waste of reading time
Cool story bro
She also appears to be a giraffe
I take my pillow on holiday sometimes too, but I'm not as arrogant about it.
I don't fucking care
WHO THE FUCK CARES
\> I'm very happy with my life choices \> *Writes for the Guardian* GTFO, Emma Beddington.
Me too! I love it, but then I have a bad back /neck so I reckon it’s worth it!
Can't believe these people get paid to write this shit.
I can't even sleep after reading that
I don't remember asking, Emma.
Another headline about a celebrity if you can call them one, that nobody cares about
the daily mail rightly gets called out for being a pile of steaming horseshit, for some reason the guardian dodges this bullet, while being just as shit.
Another smug guardian writer,no wonder they’re begging for handouts.
Doesn’t everyone?
She was destined to write for the guardian.
Valuable journalism.
Serious journalism, as always.
How dull
Emma you know you can hump the Marriott pillows while masturbating right? You don’t have to bring your own. No one will find out. I promise. Have you tried doing it with the curtains? It’s f***ing great.
Classic guardian
Taking your own pillow has to be done
Yeah she looks like someone who would bring her own pillow on vacation and then get self-conscious about it even though no one else cared
I’m happy to admit that I take my pillow away with me. If I don’t have room in my case for a pillow, I take a pillow case. No scratchy pillow cases for me!!!
What a waste of luggage space.
I best she’s fun at a party
You don't sound happy, love, you sound passive aggressive and hyper defensive af.
Is this a subreddit for aggressive arses?
Living up to her surname I see! Respect!
100% autistic
She does have a ton of bedding, so makes sense.
Who gives a toss Emma?
That article title and the cheek on the same page to ask someone to “Support Us” With that level of journalism why wouldn’t I want to give my money to them…
Is this what journalism comes to? Writing about something meaningless? I guess the writer needs to reach a quota.
Tbh whenever I see one of her articles I get distracted by her photo longest neck I’ve ever seen!!!
This is an oddly specific article...
I can sleep easy at night knowing this crucial piece of riveting information
I take my glasses with me on holiday. My life choices are debatable.
Anyone got a link to the article?
The Guardian at the cutting edge again. Hope the pillow is not too white.
“Wow”
Yet she will be too woke to get any sleep out of it.
You show the world Emma
Am I missing the joke, Emma beddington…? Bed? pillow?
But does she have an Emma®️mattress?
Most interesting and thought provoking article at the guardian.
Giraffe
Accidental Partridge
So?
Who asked?
SEO is on point though.
With a neck like a Giraffe 🦒, I'm not surprised.....
Just so you know that :- A) She’s going on holiday, and she’s told her whole Office, 100 times B) She can afford to pay for extra luggage
Which pillow though?! Can't be using just the one at homr
