Oh do behave yourself, maybe not many hard line anti-semite, death-to-the capitalist lackeys and nationalise everything, revolutionary Stalinists yes, but PH is awash with pro-Palestinian, climate change marching, anti BBC, Trump hating, anti-fracking, anti nuclear s***flakes.
I’m sure there’s plenty of those who consider themselves on the right of the political spectrum who identify themselves with some of what you posted. Are they wrong?

Clearly you haven’t been here long if you think the left are anti BBC. There’s threads here dedicated to calling out every nuance of their output as confirmation of lefty bias.

Utter bks.
How can it be utter bks when it's so blatantly obvious? I could reel off plenty who fit the criteria.
Seems odd that only the two ‘new’ posters on the thread think PHs is remotely left wing.

Is that because

A) you don’t know what you’re talking about or
B) because you’re both really right wing and got banned previously or
C) because you’re right?
I'd say that there's a difference between PH as a whole and NP&E with regard to politics....

I've linked to Mail articles when they're the first Google result upon searching for stories I've seen in other outlets so I can provide a link to a non-subscription new site. I don't actually know whether people are self-parodying when they pull me up on it on forums anymore.

The facts are the same. If you can't see past the way they've spun them then it's likely you've shared fake news where you agreed with the narrative.

Of course some facts may be distorted, but assuming they're accurate, it's blinkered to refer to their 'hate campaigns' (except if you're looking back to fascist sympathies of the past). I don't really think focusing on migrant criminal gangs and benefit cheats or even blaming the country's problems on certain groups really falls in to that category.

I mean it is usually pretty poor journalism in many ways and the Guardian for its faults it infinitely better but then when respected academics publish papers drawing conclusions people don't agree with they're equally vilified.
