God, I am sick of thesun newspaper

[votelabour]

I use to enjoy reading the sun newspaper for its ridiculous storys, and its funny dear dierdre write-ins, but now its pissing me off to how much it is ANTI-any other government party other then the conservatives, its absolutely ridiculous, just because its the most read newspaper (because its cheap and easy to read) people are swayed by this to who to vote, and its getting on my nerves. And if you hadn't noticed, since the lib dems have become popular, their trying there best to ruin there chances ever now to make a difference, obviously they've done it already to labour. ARGH :@

I agree.

Since starting college I can read the metro every morning on the train. I love the metro, there is such a mix of story topics & it's easy to read if you get what i mean.

That's tabloid newspapers for you... they're all the same.

All papers have political affilation. Go read a pro-Labour paper and you'll see Liberal and Conservative bashing aplenty.

Yep. Metro is awesome (well considering its free).

What makes me laugh though is that even though The Sun is supporting the tories at the moment, The Sun technically stands for everything the tories hate as it is aimed at the working class.
The Sun just jumps ship, they were Labour at one point.

This. In fact, it's rather funny. Read The Sun and then read Daily Mirror and they pick up the same story but different twist on it.

(also dear deidre write ins are still there hehe, gotta love some of the weirdos in there ;P)

isn't this thread slightly bias?

I also suggest stop reading it if it offends you

Explain how the Tories hate the working class or/and are working against them when it was Margaret Thatcher who lowered taxes (Labour raises them each and every time it gains the keys to office) and Margaret Thatcher who introduced the right-to-buy scheme which gave millions of the worst off people a chance to own their own home and pass to their families once they died. The idea that the Tories are against the working class is nonsense, its the party which does most for the working class and everybody in general and it always gives people the opportunity to better themselves whereas the Labour Party would rather the poor stay poor. The papers in general, the Sun attacked the Conservatives in '97 and supported Labour - its a populist newspaper and generally follows popular opinion.

I think you forget she doubled Vat from 8% to 15% (that hit the working class rather hard) introduced the most hated tax of all time - the Poll Tax which had to be withdrawn by Norman Major as there were riots on the streets. I do not even think Margaret Thatcher even claimed to be a champion of the working class. She was the author of the 'Yuppie' revolution and we all know where that got the country. A country with less manufacturing and everything based on money that just crashed when the yuppies did.
