Happy birthday to the Guardian!

The Guardian is 200 years old today and there’s lots of stuff online to celebrate it. As I see it…

STEP ONE: Start a radical campaigning newspaper in Manchester.

STEP TWO: In two hundred years time, have some rando writing it in his PJs from home in Walthamstow.

STEP THREE: ???

STEP FOUR: Profit.
