I doubt they will release it for others to analyze. There's some interesting things from a tech perspective - use of Postgres, Perl scripts etc. That was fun to find out. Unfortunately the Guardian is in regular battle over their comments, particularly in respect to how they handle comment regarding Israel - they are frequently accused of suppressing anything 'pro' (by deleting entire commenter accounts as breaches of their rules) and retaining some quite alarming comments (on Israel and other subjects) by classifying as free speech and retaining despite complaints - see [1] for 68 'recommends' for killing Tony Blair being kept. This looks like an attempt to bypass some serious issues by intentionally addressing something completely tangential. A classic diversionary tactic. That's why I think you (or anyone else) is unlikely to get access to the data. Which is a pity, because it could help clear up exactly these issues of claimed bias they are accused of, and help determine if it exists or not. - something useful.
