Just slipped across the road to the Guardian's archive/newsroom to look in on one of the parties going on. The Newsroom has an Epstein bust of C P Scott, the great editor of the Guardian whose family bequeathed their not inconsiderable assets to an independent body, the Scott Trust, which owns the Guardian and is dedicated to preserving its editorial independence. This still makes it one of the most unusual papers in the world. I was about to take a photo of Jonathan Scott in front of the bust when his brother Martin walked in wearing exactly the same shirt and jacket (quite coincidentally it seems). They are the only two family members of the Trust.
PS Just heard that the presses in Madrid and Frankfurt are running and those at Le Monde and Marseille are about to also.
