I heard that Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales leaders are planning to meet to break up UK. Is it really true? Anyone from UK here who can tell me what is actually happening there?

        Well Tories are kinda better if we compare it with far right. The right wing you guys have in UK is nothing compared to what I have in my country (we do not have a presence of left wing in our politics (except for some minority labor unions)).

      Pretty sure, yeah. Most of the UK papers are. The only one I know for sure is The Guardian. There’s probably others.

      The Observer, The Independent and The National (Scottish), The i and The Scotsman are either neutral or lefty.

        Is there a “not” missing? The Guardian is left leaning except their transphobia.

        I only know BBC when it comes to British media and that feels lefty or neutral

          The BBC barely feels neutral, has mostly leaned right over the past decade.

          The only major left-leaning non-tabloid one I can think of is the Guardian.

              It means semi-serious. Basically, you have broadsheets that purport to push serious journalism and tabloid papers that are more sensationalist and low-brow. Tabloids in the UK include The Sun (hugely popular, Murdoch-owned, right-wing scandal rag) and the way less popular Mirror (a left-leaning paper that sort of emulates The Sun’s style in an attempt to appeal to the masses).

              Basically the guardian and i (that’s their name, a lowercase letter i, it’s so stupid)

          Meh its okay but they’re under pressure to give voice to racist bigots in the interest of ‘balance’.

          You should listen to 5 live (one of their radio stations). You wouldn’t believe what they let some people say live on air.
