Evening Standard

Evening Standard? It seems you can’t walk around London without being approached to get an Evening Standard in some ways or another, especially in central areas, with stands being available at tube and train stations, as well as busy hubs around the city.
The London Evening Standard is actually quite a good newspaper for something available for free, and a tabloid which is 25% owned by The Daily Mail, but in most parts it sadly represents low-​quality journalism.
Most articles simply have spelling mistakes, factual and grammatical errors and in some ways, it seems like even I could write for the London Evening Standard. I’m not from London, does everyone need to write an article for the Evening Standard to live their? It just seems like everyone could write their articles, in most parts it sadly stands for low-​quality journalism.
The circulation of this newspaper is huge at 900,000, meanwhile the Manchester Evening News, in my hometown of Manchester has a circulation of around 50,000 which is such a high increase, which still shows London Evening Standard must be doing something right to have such a big circulation, even when considering that London is Britain’s largest city.
The Evening Standard also has a history of strongly backing the Conservatives especially since around 2008, when they changed from backing Labour and Tony Blair, and even spread nasty articles around Ken Livingstone, before he eventually lost to Boris Johnson in the 2008 Mayoral Election.
Overall, for a free newspaper the London Evening Standard is okay, but with a history of nasty articles and low quality journalism in a large quantity of parts, I sadly feel it deserves no more than 2 stars, albeit is still a little generous.

The Evening Standard is a publication I feel positive towards. I’ve won their Mini Codeword competition twice. First time it was so funny. I won a pampering spa day for two at Bannatyne’s in Essex somewhere. My Australian friend and I had a three quarters of a hour massage and then were able to use the swimming pool. Next I’ve won a ‘Charming Hotel Stay’ in the UK which I will book when my friend is over in the Summer. To top it all I’ve finally won the Sudoku £50 prize! It’s quite difficult the Sudoku in the Standard and there comes a point where I have to start guessing and either it works out correct or it doesn’t. But I’ve finally won it!
They lose one star from me because their regular columnists come out with the same old boring Liberal-​Left Blairite drivel about how marvellous the EU and diversity is day after day. Time to get a UKIP columnist to spice things up a bit and give some balance instead of the same old cracked records. They are however very good for publishing readers’ texts having a go at the health fascists over smoking — they even published one of mine once.
I’ve used the ES to buy shares by looking at the year high and year low values. I haven’t made a fortune but I’m up.// Oh I’ve just upgraded my stars to five for the ES even if it is full of Blairite toss! I’ve won the most fantastic day of Tennis, hospitallity and a knock around with Pat Cash himself through them and Hackett, Bishopsgate! Certainly up there with one of the best prizes I’ve ever won!

i’m really sorry for Unilocaling about this ten days late!!!
didn’t strike me at that time to Unilocal about it at all!
my bad!
anyway, they were giving away green and black’s organic easter eggs (maya gold) — 180g, apparently worth 5.99, for free with your purchase of the evening standard.
i was initially told by a colleague about it but did not dash out to grab my copy of it.
after all, it’s only the evening standard.
it was only on my return from lunch and exiting from the tube station at gloucester rd that i chanced upon the offer.
50p for the egg and paper??? a no brainer if you ask me!:)
it was only later that i found out i’ve been ripped off!
if you showed your oyster card, you get the evening standard at only 25p!!! LOL
nonetheless, do look out for the evening standard next year, around easter time!!!:)
