I think today anyone banging on about how bad specifically the daily mail is is blindsided to how bad most of the industry is.

I mean take a look at how many "news" outlets treated andy ngo - journalist beaten and left with brain haemorrhages by antifa

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/andy-ngo-qu...

(Okay huffs an extreme one but there's been broad victim-blaming on this one on by a media trying to excuse and play down antifa as a way of treating their trump hangovers without facing reality)

I find that people on PH who tend to say they're "Centre, Centre right at a push" are probably closer to far right than they wish to admit.
The same could be applied (in the opposite direction) to PHers who say things like "anywhere else I'd be considered a centrist": they tend to be pretty damn left wing. hehe
There are virtually no “pretty damn left wing“ posters on PHs.

Check out the Corbyn threads, he has no support on here at all.

There was support for Blair and Cameron and May centrism but once labour moved left under Corbyn, support has vanished. Compare that to support for the brexit party.

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 support a left wing Labour Party, just not one led by corbyn. It's lonely here. But the sky is a nice colour....

I thought the general PH take on the BBC was that it was overrun with lefty snowflakes and (gasp) women.
Now being anti-BBC is a sign of lefty snowflakery too. wobble

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?

We going through this again? What's the new poster limit for this? 5/10/15 years? Strangely enough I notice this accusation lark from the left quite often when your views don't align with theirs. It seems to be lumped in with "racist" or "bigot" which tends to be the default position of the left when they don't like what they hear.

I’d love to hear it

Multiple people who fit those criteria points ?

How many would you define as plenty ?

There is no binary right or wrong in politics that shapes our understanding, but there is a binary division...between intolerant ar$eholes and decent people. Both of these groups exist throughout society but one makes lots of noise so they appear to be in the ascendancy, they are however a minority but, to quote the inimatable Bertrand Russell, 'The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.'

I've been through this already, you'll have to search my posts.
People carrier, I've got kids, such is life.
Had everything from Xr's to Renault 25 to Estimas, probably in the sixty to seventy mark.

Does "left wing" basically mean anything you don't personally like?
