Ratings and reviews

The last refuge of freeish speech and rational thought in uk. We must look after it. Also full of fun and arts reviews and chess at the back. All reasonable people should have a subscription to the spectator. You don't have to agree with every word. Cherish public debate.

Up until recently the app was running perfectly. However pages are now failing to load when reading the magazine and the only way you can listen to narrated articles is by logging into the website version. Getting a little frustrated.

Reporting is meant to be politically neutral and transparent, that may not be the case, human nature dictates that we all have a leaning, whatever that degree. But, what cannot be denied is that each report delivered is very informative and makes wonderful reading, especially when accompanied with tea and a few biscuits!
