While today’s Guardian might look and feel different to the Manchester Guardian founded in 1821 by the cotton merchant John Edward Taylor (more colour, less time spent folding oversized pages to a comfortable reading position), it is essentially the same product: a paper that champions fundamental causes of national or international significance and enforces the principles of liberty.

Rather chillingly, a draft 1993 addition to the dictionary includes a new definition: “sanction: in military intelligence, the permission to kill a particular individual.”
