Workin dan in Landan and picked up their version of a so called news paper in a pub.
First thing , i was pleasantly surprised not to see an SNP baaad story on the front page.
23 pages of royal baby bullshitery. 23 pages out of 44 before the puzzle pages.
Kind of sums up Britain doesn’t it...
Keep the plebs fed on a diet of brainwashed none sense, to make them feel so Proud to be British. Kind of sums up the Brexit mentality.
Never mind that the country is going to rack and ruin, hey we have a royal baby ! How fantastic !!

"what a pathetic individual she is dont you agree?"
Given your vile comments about millions "rightly" celebrating the death of a democratically elected leader in a previous thread I would 'respectfully' suggest it is you who is the pathetic individual.
Not fit to discuss anything on a political forum.

Lol. Politicians whose policies kill thousands of their own citizens are indeed vile individuals. And morons like you who lap it up and celebrate it are beneath contempt.

Nope..
This lady was in receipt of pension credits. She advised DWP of change in financial circumstances as she had received an inheritance. She should have continued to receive her state pension, she was entitled to that regardless even if she had won the lottery
Some clerical officer pressed the wrong button, they are busy, under pressure, and nobody is infallible. If she had only picked up the phone like her son eventually did it would have been fixed.

The Daily Heil is pretty awful for anyone of a humane disposition, but it does have the odd pithy columnist like Peter Hitchens and has adopted a fairly equivocal position in regard to Brexit. It’s saveable as a newspaper, in my view.
The Daily Express on the other hand is like wandering into some Neanderthal cave. A ridiculously high number of articles are about the royal family, a kind of running soap opera I think, where we are asked to cheer or boo and hiss certain members. Megan Markle is to be hissed for a number of reasons: she is American, who normally the Express likes, but not in our royal family thanks; remember Wallis Simpson. She is also mixed race. She was not a virgin when she married celibate (?) Harry. And of course she is female and only the Queen is allowed to be loved for that. We learned our lesson after Diana. So Megan bad, Kate good. Megan is about to bring the kid up in the USA since she has some devious hold over honest, but simple, Harry.
The rest of the newspaper inhabits some Orwellian world where every Brexiteer is ‘smashing’ ‘skewering’ ‘stunning into silence’ ‘eviscerating’ or ‘smashing’ any opponent who dares question Brexit. These words are normally put into capital letters in case we miss them. Studio audiences across the land are laughing at, deriding, shouting down and demolishing every Remainer argument in sight. Tommy Robinson has an army at his disposal who chant his name across the North of England and has every football lad on his side. Jeremy Corbyn is a Soviet spy about to be unmasked. Yet perplexingly, every day, despite all of this, the Remain vote seems to be gathering force. How can this be explained? It can’t be. So it is all some elitist plot designed to frustrate these true advocates for the proletariat, the three millionaires Farage, Rees-Mogg and Johnson. Not the most English of names for the most part, and Farage has a German wife with a villa in France, but the Express knows that he speaks for Britain.
If you think the Daily Mail is bad, have a look at the Daily Express.

The printed press on the way out?
I only get one paper a week now, the Times on Saturday. Good coverage of home and International news, book and film reviews, travelogue, radio and tv for the week ahead, financial advice etc. Separate sports section and magazine.
And the crossword of course, keeps the old brain cells ticking over.
Anyway Sat morning is roll, square sausage and broon sauce. Not the same with a tablet

Are any papers in the UK still broadsheets or are they all tabloid now?

Thanks Eck. I must admit, I don't buy papers these days and get most of my news online or on the radio. In fact, I don't even watch the telly more than a couple of hours a week.
